Benefits of technology

[0007]The present invention relates generally to substantially amorphous aluminum phosphate materials and / or compositions exhibiting metastability and various other related properties under high temperature conditions. In part, metastability can be evidenced by retention of amorphous characteristics under oxidizing conditions, such morphology and the extent thereof due at least in part to the aluminum content of such materials / compositions, with those having an overall stoichiometric excess of aluminum exhibiting enhanced amorphous character and associated stability as compared to their stoichiometric counterparts. Such properties and related high-temperature attributes can be effected in the preparation of such materials / compositions, primarily by admixture of the aluminum precursor to the corresponding phosphate precursor to initiate various structural and / or compositional modifications which manifest themselves in the high temperature performance of the resulting aluminum phosphate material / composition. In particular, and as illustrated more clearly in the following examples, aluminum can be identified upon addition to a phosphate precursor and shown as contributing to the amorphous character and associated metastability of the resulting aluminum phosphate material / composition. Addition of a stoichiometric excess of aluminum precursor enhances the resulting amorphous character and metastability.

Problems solved by technology

Up to the present time, however, there are no known synthetic oxides which can remain amorphous and metastable at temperatures up to 1400° C. or greater.
Aluminum phosphate, however, is unsuitable for use as a high temperature ceramic material because it undergoes polymorphic transformations (quartz-type, tridymite and cristobalite) with corresponding large molar volume changes.

example 1

[0054]To make 850 mL of 75.46 g / L a precursor solution to synthesize the amorphous aluminum phosphate material with a 1.75:1 Al:P ratio (0.375 molar excess Al2O3), 408.94 g Al(NO3)39H2O was dissolved in 382 ml ethanol to make 500 ml of solution. In a separate container in an inert atmosphere, 25.23 g P2O5 was dissolved in 300 ml ethanol. After the P2O5 is dissolved, the two solutions were mixed together and allowed to stir for several minutes. After the solution was thoroughly mixed, it was placed in a large container in an oven at 150° C. for one or more hours. After the resulting powder is completely dried, it was annealed in air to 1100° C. for one hour to form amorphous aluminum phosphate powder with 0.75 moles excess aluminum per mole aluminum phosphate.

example 2

[0055]To form an oxidation resistant amorphous aluminum phosphate coating on a rectangular coupon of 304 stainless steel, the piece was dipped in the precursor solution of Example 1, diluted to a certain concentration and removed. The sample was dried in flowing air to remove the solvent. The sample was dried more thoroughly in an oven at 65° C. The piece was annealed in air to 1000° C. (at a ramp rate of 10 C / minute) for 100 hours and cooled to room temperature at 10 C / minute, along with an uncoated piece of 304 stainless steel of the same size and shape. The weight of each uncoated piece was measured prior to anneal. The weight was measured again after coating and anneal. The amorphous aluminum phosphate coated piece showed remarkably less weight gain. The weight gain data is given in the table below.

example 3

[0056]To form an amorphous aluminum phosphate coating on a solid substrate by plasma spray, amorphous aluminum phosphate powder made in Example 1 is milled to a small and uniform size (around 20 microns) in a ball mill. The powder is then deposited using the small particle plasma spray process (see, U.S. Pat. No. 5,744,777 incorporated herein by reference in its entirety).

Abstract

A composition providing thermal, corrosion, and oxidation protection at high temperatures is based on a synthetic aluminum phosphate, in which the molar content of aluminum is greater than phosphorus. The composition is annealed and is metastable at temperatures up to 1400° C.
