[0002] An aero-engine is usually a turbofan engine, which is composed of a fan, a compressor, a combustion chamber, a turbine and an exhaust nozzle from front to back, wherein the turbine part needs to withstand high-temperature and high-pressure gas erosion up to 2000 DEG C. In order to ensure that the turbine guide vane can work normally in a harsh service environment, an MCrAlY / ZrO2 thermal barrier coating is generally prepared on the surface of the gas flow passage of the turbine guide vane to achieve heat insulation effect and improve the high-temperature oxidation resistance of the turbine guide vane.
[0003] The traditional thermal barrier coating preparation method can be divided into sandblasting before spraying, supersonic spraying of MCrAlY, atmospheric plasma spraying of ZrO2, cooling and cleaning, wherein the sandblasting before spraying is generally manual sandblasting, and the supersonic spraying of MCrAlY and the atmospheric plasma spraying of ZrO2 are single-process automated spraying.
[0004] However, the traditional thermal barrier coating preparation method has the following problems:
[0005] ① The thermal barrier coating preparation process of the turbine guide vane needs to use different process equipment and needs to be turned over between multiple processes, which is easy to cause pollution on the surface of the turbine guide vane and the surface of the coating, and thus causes the risk of decreasing the coating adhesion.
[0006] ② The thermal barrier coating preparation of the turbine guide vane belongs to single-piece production, which needs to be frequently disassembled and assembled during the process turnover, resulting in low production efficiency, and the spraying equipment needs to be frequently started and stopped, causing the service life of the spraying gun of the spraying equipment to be shortened.
[0007] ③ The turbine guide vane is a multi-curved complex surface part, and the coating thickness on the surface of the part cannot be directly detected, and the coating thickness is generally detected by using a patch, so there is a certain detection error, and the thickness at the detection position cannot represent the coating thickness at all surface positions of the turbine guide vane.
[0008] Due to the above problems of the traditional thermal barrier coating preparation method, the production of the turbine guide vane cannot meet the increasing task and product quality requirements. SUMMARY
