Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of thermal barrier coating preparation and surface finishing, and in particular to a full-process staged barrel grinding and finishing method for thermal barrier coating. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of modern industrial technology, particularly in the aerospace, energy, chemical, and automotive industries, the issue of material protection in high-temperature environments has become increasingly prominent. Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs), as an advanced surface protection technology, have become a key approach to addressing material failure in high-temperature environments due to their outstanding high-temperature protection, oxidation resistance, and thermal insulation properties. A typical TBC typically consists of a substrate, a bond coat, and a ceramic layer. During the service life of a TBC, the surface integrity of its multilayer structure significantly impacts its overall performance and long-term service life. For the substrate surface, surface roughness and cleanliness significantly influence the performance of TBCs. Appropriate surface roughness enhances the mechanical locking effect between the coating and the substrate, thereby improving the bond strength between the two. A clean substrate surface effectively slows the oxidation and corrosion of the coating by impurities such as oil. Furthermore, the bond coat surface, serving as the interface between the bond coat and the ceramic layer, is widely considered a sensitive area for spalling failure in TBC systems. The surface profile of the bond coat directly influences the distribution of thermal oxides and stress concentration at the interface, factors that are crucial in determining a coating's ability to resist spalling failure. The ceramic layer is the final working surface of the hot-end component, and its surface integrity also significantly affects the performance of the thermal barrier coating; reducing the surface roughness of the ceramic layer can improve the aerodynamic performance of the component surface, while reducing the adhesion of corrosive substances and thus improving corrosion resistance; on the other hand, a higher surface hardness can improve the wear resistance of the thermal barrier coating and comprehensively extend the service life of the thermal barrier coating.

[0003] Currently, surface treatment technologies for thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are still in the exploratory stage, with their application largely limited to single-layer surface treatments for substrates, bonding layers, or ceramic layers. This makes it difficult to meet the demands of collaborative manufacturing of multilayer TBC structures. Furthermore, in the practical application of existing TBC surface treatment technologies, process parameter selection is often determined by experience, lacking evaluation metrics to support decision-making. This situation not only greatly limits the precise control and repeatability of surface treatment effects, but also severely impacts the consistency of TBC surface quality and the long-term service stability. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a staged surface finishing method for the entire TBC manufacturing process, based on optimized process parameters to meet the diverse processing requirements of multilayer structures.
