Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of anti-oxidation / ablation coating preparation, and relates to a wide-temperature-range anti-ablation glass-ceramic multilayer composite coating and a preparation method, in particular to a YAS-[HfC / ZrC]3-SiC multilayer composite anti-ablation coating and a preparation method. BACKGROUND

[0002] As one of the important candidate materials for high-speed aircraft thermal structural components, carbon / carbon composites have excellent high-temperature mechanical properties such as low density, high specific strength and high-temperature resistance, but also have the problem of mechanical property damage caused by high-temperature oxidation, which makes it difficult to directly use as a thermal structural material for long life in a high-temperature oxygen-containing environment. In order to take advantage of the lightweight and high-strength structure of carbon / carbon composites while giving them long-term oxygen resistance, surface anti-oxidation / ablation coating technology has received extensive attention. At present, the oxidation protection system developed for coated carbon / carbon composites has achieved protection effects of hundreds of hours or even thousands of hours in static air environment, 1700℃ and below temperature range, such as (Hf 0.25 Zr 0.25 Ta 0.25 Ti 0.25 )B2-SiC-Si silicon-based ceramic coating [Patent 1: Fu Qiang, Zhou Lei, Li Hujun, et al. A carbon / carbon composite material surface high-temperature long-life composite coating and a preparation method, CN113387724A, 2021-09-14.], the oxidation protection mechanism of which is to use silicon-based ceramic oxidation to form a dense and continuous SiO2 glass to prevent rapid oxygen penetration. However, when the environmental temperature is higher than the decomposition temperature of silicon-based ceramic or the active oxidation temperature of Si element, especially in the ablation environment of 2000℃ and above, silicon-based ceramic is often difficult to oxidize to form a dense and continuous SiO2 glass, and even volatile gaseous by-products containing Si will destroy the coating structure [Literature 1: T. Liu, Y. R. Niu, C. Li, et al. Ablation resistance of ZrC-MoSi2 / ZrC-SiC double-layered coating in a plasma flame, Corros. Sci. 145 (2018) 239-248.], thus it cannot be used as a main component in the ablation-resistant coating to achieve long-term ablation protection.

[0003] In recent years, the design of multiphase ceramic coating with ultra-high temperature ceramics as the main component and silicon-based ceramics or low-melting oxides as the modified component [Literature 2: R.C. Chen, Y.L. Zhang, J. Zhang, et al., MoSi2 modified HfC coating for the ablation protection of SiC-coated C / C composites: Ablation resistance and behavior, Corros. Sci. 205 (2022) 110418.] has become an effective strategy to improve the ablation resistance of the coating in an ablation environment above 2000°C. However, ultra-high temperature ceramics represented by ZrC and HfC are prone to pulverization and oxidation in the medium and low temperature range [Literature 3: G.H. Feng, H.J. Li, X.Y. Yao, et al. Ablation behavior of ZrC and ZrO2 coatings on SiC coated C / C composites under oxyacetylene torch with different heat fluxes, Ceram. Int. 47 (2021) 21721-21729.], and the porous oxide film on its surface is easily stripped off under strong scouring action. The ZrC-La2O3 multiphase ceramic coating reported in Patent 2 [Li HJ, Jia YJ, Fu QG, et al. A carbon / carbon composite material surface long-time ablation-resistant composite coating and preparation method, CN107056336B, 2020-06-16.] provides 700s ablation protection for C / C composites in an oxyacetylene ablation environment with a heat flux of 2.4MW / m2, and its ablation protection mechanism is to use the low-volatility composite oxide formed by La2O3 and ZrO2 at ultra-high temperature to heal pores and cracks. However, since this multiphase ceramic design only focuses on improving the oxygen resistance of the ZrC coating at high temperatures, the strong scouring resistance and medium-low temperature oxidation resistance of the ablation-resistant coating have not been effectively improved. 2

[0004] In summary, the multiphase ceramic coating systems reported so far often only focus on the high-temperature oxygen resistance of the ablation-resistant coating, making it difficult to meet the "wide temperature range oxygen resistance-strong scouring resistance" coupled protection requirements faced by thermal structural materials. Therefore, the "wide temperature range oxygen resistance-strong scouring resistance" coupled protection capability of the ablation-resistant coating has become a bottleneck for the long-life application of coated C / C composites in ablation environments above 2000°C.

The high-temperature graphitization furnace is subjected to vacuum treatment, and the vacuum degree reaches-0.1 MPa. After vacuum preservation for 40 min, Ar gas is introduced until normal pressure. After repeating the vacuum-Ar gas introduction process twice, the furnace temperature is raised to 2100°C at a rate of 10°C / min, and the temperature is maintained for 2h.

(a1-a2) ZrC-SiC double-layer composite coating; (b1-b2) YAS-[HfC / ZrC]3-SiC multilayer composite coating. As can be seen from the figure, the ZrC-SiC double-layer composite coating has obvious structural damage after 60 s of laser ablation, and the ZrC ceramic layer in the laser ablation area is basically depleted, and the SiC ceramic layer also has ablation damage; while the YAS-[HfC / ZrC]3-SiC multilayer composite coating can still maintain the oxidation layer after 60 s of laser ablation due to the synergistic effect of the (Hf, Zr)O2 binary solid solution oxide layer protection and the YAS glass defect sealing, indicating that the glass-ceramic multilayer composite design can effectively improve the laser ablation resistance of the coating.

As can be seen from the figure, the highest temperature of the two types of coatings in the laser ablation area reaches above 2500℃ during 60 s of ablation, and the surface temperature of the two types of coatings in the non-laser ablation area gradually increases to about 1000℃ as the ablation time prolongs. From the infrared imaging photo after laser ablation, it can be seen that the ZrC-SiC double-layer coating has obviously peeled off during the 60 s low-temperature oxidation process, while the YAS-[HfC / ZrC]3-SiC multilayer composite coating remains structurally intact under the protection of the YAS glass outer layer, indicating that the glass-ceramic multilayer composite coating has good low-temperature oxidation resistance.
