Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of high-temperature coatings, and in particular to a method for preparing a hypersonic resistant niobium-tungsten alloy coating. Background Art

[0002] At present, my country is expanding the space launch vehicle industry to support satellite launch services and manned space and lunar exploration programs. While expanding the space launch vehicle industry, rocket engines are also constantly upgrading. With the upgrading of rocket engines, new high-temperature and high-specific-strength niobium tungsten alloy (Nb521) materials are increasingly used in high-temperature engine components. Most of the niobium tungsten alloy (Nb521) used in these high-temperature components is a material with a high-temperature oxidation-resistant and corrosion-resistant coating on the surface.

[0003] However, most of the existing coatings have loose coating structures and large gaps between coating powders. In a high-temperature atmospheric environment, due to oxygen erosion, the coating first starts to be destroyed from the powder gaps and then spreads. This localized destruction causes the entire part to be scrapped prematurely, greatly shortening the overall life of the part and the coating. In addition, the bonding strength between the niobium tungsten alloy (Nb521) high-temperature anti-oxidation coating and the substrate is not strong, and the coating is brittle. If the coating is bent more than 45°, it will break brittlely, and the coating in the bending area will fall off, resulting in the coating being unusable on high-temperature workpieces that need to be bent during installation or work. Summary of the invention

[0019] Preferably, the working gas in S3 is nitrogen.

[0020] Preferably, the fixing frame in S3 is a common fixing device, and it needs to be protected during the process of fixing the niobium tungsten alloy to avoid surface wear.
