AI Technical Summary
The existing FeCrAl coating on T91 steel has a high Al content, which leads to a mismatch in mechanical properties, resulting in uncoordinated interfacial strain, increased fatigue crack initiation and propagation speed, and reduced material life.
By controlling the Al content to be 5-6 wt.% and the Cr content to be 12-14 wt.%, and using atmospheric plasma spraying to prepare the FeCrAl coating, combined with chemical electropolishing and sandblasting pretreatment, and then remelting and mechanical grinding after spraying, the coating thickness was optimized to 15-40 μm, thus achieving mechanical matching between the coating and the T91 steel substrate.
It improves the fatigue life of the coating under high temperature and low cycle fatigue conditions, shifts the crack initiation location from the interface to the coating surface, and the crack propagation stage within the coating accounts for 50-70% of the total life. It effectively blocks liquid lead and bismuth corrosion and improves the fatigue life by more than 2 times.
