Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of thermal barrier coatings, and particularly to a preparation method of a thermal barrier coating with long service life and high interfacial bonding strength. Background Art

[0002] High interfacial roughness is crucial for improving the interfacial bonding and service life of thermal barrier coatings. Currently, the method of using a double-layer bond coat is mainly adopted to prepare a thermal barrier coating with high interfacial roughness: a dense NiCoCrAlY layer sprayed with finer powder is used on the side close to the substrate, aiming to provide sufficient supply of Al element to ensure the formation of a continuous and dense alumina film during service; a rough layer is obtained by spraying coarser powder on the side close to the ceramic layer, with slightly lower density, aiming to form a higher interfacial roughness to ensure good bonding force with the ceramic layer. The method of double-layer bond coat requires the use of spraying powders with different particle sizes and different spraying parameters, so the process is complex and the preparation cost is high. In recent years, the method of laser cladding of the bond coat has also been used to improve the interfacial roughness of thermal barrier coatings (CN104451672B), but it is necessary to pre-spray and prepare a metal bond coat on the surface of the superalloy substrate first. However, the high laser energy is easy to penetrate the bond coat and damage the substrate, thus destroying the composition and mechanical properties of the substrate and unable to achieve industrial application. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the embodiments of the present invention is to provide a preparation method of a thermal barrier coating with long service life and high interfacial bonding strength to achieve one-step forming of a thermal barrier coating with long service life and high interfacial bonding strength.

[0007] Further, the particle size range of the metal bond coat powder is 25 μm - 40 μm.

[0008] Further, in step 1, when using supersonic flame spraying, first perform sandblasting on the surface of the superalloy substrate; the preset temperature range is 500 - 800 °C, the distance between the supersonic flame spray gun and the superalloy substrate is 220 - 250 mm, the moving speed range of the supersonic flame spray gun is 1500 - 1800 mm / s, the powder feeding rotation speed is 2 r / min, the propane pressure is 90 - 95 PSI, the air pressure is 95 - 100 PSI, the hydrogen pressure is 25 - 30 PSI, and the nitrogen pressure is 40 - 50 PSI.

[0009] Further, step 1 includes the following sub - steps:

[0011] (2) Use compressed air to purge the back side of the superalloy substrate. By controlling the flow rate of the compressed air on the back side of the superalloy substrate, when the surface temperature of the superalloy substrate reaches the preset temperature, start powder feeding and spraying;

[0012] (3) When the moving path of the supersonic flame spray gun completely covers the surface of the superalloy substrate once, it is recorded as one spraying; after each spraying is completed, stop spraying, and measure the thickness of the metal bonding layer after the substrate cools down;

[0014] Further, in sub - step (2), when purging with compressed air, the purging direction of the air gun is perpendicular to the plane of the superalloy substrate, the flow rate of the compressed air is 40 - 70 L / min, the distance between the air gun and the superalloy substrate is 100 - 200 mm, and use a manipulator to control the moving path of the air gun to uniformly control the temperature of the superalloy substrate, and the moving speed of the air gun is 1500 - 1800 mm / s.

[0015] Further, the ceramic powder in step 2 is yttria - stabilized zirconia, wherein the mass content of Y2O3 is 8%.

[0016] Further, in Step 2, when performing atmospheric plasma spraying, first preheat the superalloy substrate, control the temperature of the superalloy substrate to 300 - 400 °C, the distance between the atmospheric plasma spray gun and the superalloy substrate is 90 - 120 mm, the moving speed of the atmospheric plasma spray gun is 800 - 1000 mm / s, the powder feeding rate is 50 - 60 g / min, the powder feeding air flow is 0.5 - 1.0 L / min, the voltage range is 180 - 200 V, the spraying current range is 250 - 300 A, the Ar gas flow rate range is 30 - 60 L / min, and the H2 gas flow rate range is 5 - 20 L / min.

[0020] Further, when purging with compressed air in sub - step (a), the air gun is perpendicular to the plane of the superalloy substrate, the distance between the air gun and the superalloy substrate is 100 - 150 mm, and use a manipulator to control the moving path of the air gun to uniformly control the temperature of the superalloy substrate. The moving speed of the air gun is 800 - 1000 mm / s, and the flow rate of the compressed air is 70 - 80 L / min.

[0021] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The present invention utilizes the supersonic flame spraying technology. By cooling the back side of the superalloy substrate with compressed air, controlling the gas flow rate and distance, controlling the surface temperature of the substrate, and using a relatively fine particle size of the sprayed powder, a bonding layer with high density and high surface roughness is prepared, and a ceramic coating is prepared by atmospheric plasma spraying.
