Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of thermal barrier coating preparation, and in particular to a PS-PVD thermal barrier coating and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The core hot end components of aircraft engines and gas turbines are turbine blades, and thermal barrier coatings are an indispensable key thermal protection technology for the surface of turbine blades. Thermal barrier coatings are mainly composed of metal bonding layers and ceramic thermal insulation layers. The ceramic thermal insulation layer slows down heat transfer by reducing phonon scattering and reducing thermal radiation conduction, thereby playing a role in thermal insulation protection. During the operation of modern gas turbines, due to the continuous increase in the temperature of the turbine front end, the gas flow rate, temperature and the effects of external environmental deposits continue to intensify, which requires thermal barrier coatings to have higher thermal insulation performance while also having better resistance to environmental damage, such as resistance to high-temperature solid particle erosion.

[0003] However, existing methods for forming thermal barrier coatings on the surfaces of turbine blades are costly. Summary of the invention

[0004] The first object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a PS-PVD (Plasma Spray Physical Vapor Deposition) thermal barrier coating to solve the technical problem of high cost of existing methods for forming thermal barrier coatings on the surface of turbine blades.

[0005] The preparation method of the PS-PVD thermal barrier coating provided by the present invention, the median particle size D of the ceramic powder used to prepare the thermal barrier coating 50 The particle size of the ceramic powder is 6 to 8 μm, and the crushing strength of the ceramic powder is greater than 100 MPa when the deformation amount is 10%. The plasma spray gun anode adopts a double-sided powder feeding method to feed the ceramic powder, the powder feeding direction is opposite to the jet direction, and the angle between the cross section of the powder feeding direction and the jet direction is α. In the plasma main gas, the flow ratio of argon to helium is 1:1 to 8:1.

[0006] Furthermore, α is 20°±1°.

[0007] Furthermore, the powder delivery channels on both sides of the anode of the plasma spray gun are arranged symmetrically with the jet direction as the center line.

[0008] Furthermore, the powder feeding rate on each side of the plasma spray gun anode is 5 to 7 g / min.

[0009] Furthermore, the total flow rate of the plasma main gas is 90 slpm, wherein the flow rate of the argon gas is 45 to 80 slpm, and the flow rate of the helium gas is 10 to 45 slpm.

[0010] Furthermore, the powder carrier gas flow rate of the plasma main gas is 10 to 14 slpm.

[0011] Furthermore, the spraying current is 2000A, the spraying distance is 1000-1200mm, and the spraying power is 80-100kW.

[0012] Furthermore, the plasma spray gun and the sample are sprayed and deposited in a relative moving manner, the preheating temperature of the sample is 700-900° C., and the deposition rate of the thermal barrier coating is 3-6 μm / min.

[0013] The beneficial effects brought by the preparation method of the PS-PVD thermal barrier coating of the present invention are:

[0014] The median particle size D of the ceramic powder for preparing thermal barrier coating is 50 Setting it to 6-8μm, relative to the median particle size of 8-12μm of commercial powder, can reduce the fluidity of ceramic powder, thereby increasing the difficulty of powder transportation and spraying, so that the ceramic powder can be continuously transported and stably sprayed for a long time, and by setting the deformation of the ceramic powder at a pressure greater than 100MPa to 10%, the ceramic powder has a higher crushing strength, which significantly improves the uniformity of the powder during collapse, so that the deposition efficiency of the ceramic powder during the deposition process is increased to 30%, which is effectively improved compared to the 20% deposition efficiency of commercial powder, and lays a good foundation for low-cost coating preparation.

[0015] By feeding ceramic powder into the plasma spray gun anode by double-sided reverse powder feeding and controlling the powder feeding angle of the plasma spray gun anode, the compatibility of ceramic powder and high-speed plasma jet can be improved, and the adhesion of deposits inside the anode and its influence on jet stability can be reduced, thereby improving the interaction stability between ceramic powder and plasma jet. By limiting the flow ratio of argon to helium in the plasma main gas to between 1:1 and 8:1, the use of helium in the process is effectively reduced, thereby significantly reducing the process cost.

[0016] It can be seen that the preparation method of the PS-PVD thermal barrier coating can significantly reduce the preparation cost of the PS-PVD thermal barrier coating, thereby effectively solving the technical problem of high cost of the existing method for forming a thermal barrier coating on the surface of a turbine blade.

[0017] The second object of the present invention is to provide a PS-PVD thermal barrier coating to solve the technical problem of high cost of the existing thermal barrier coating formed on the surface of turbine blades.

[0018] The PS-PVD thermal barrier coating provided by the present invention is prepared by adopting the above-mentioned method for preparing the PS-PVD thermal barrier coating.

[0019] Furthermore, the microhardness of the PS-PVD thermal barrier coating is HV0.1>300.

[0020] The beneficial effects brought by the PS-PVD thermal barrier coating of the present invention are:

[0032] At present, the main preparation technologies of ceramic thermal insulation layers include APS (Air Plasma Spray), EB-PVD (Electron Beam Physical Vapor Deposition) and PS-PVD. Among them, APS thermal barrier coating is a typical layered structure coating. Due to the presence of multiple interfaces, multiple defects and high porosity, the thermal barrier coating has a good thermal insulation effect; EB-PVD thermal barrier coating is a typical columnar structure coating with high strain tolerance and long life characteristics; PS-PVD thermal barrier coating is a highly efficient gas-solid-liquid three-phase composite controlled deposition technology. When the gas phase is mainly deposited, a quasi-columnar structure coating can be obtained, and due to the gas phase nucleation preferential competitive growth mode, and the presence of a small amount of liquid phase and condensed nanoclusters, the coating forms a dendrite-developed structure, so that the thermal barrier coating formed by this technology has a high porosity and low thermal conductivity, as well as high strain tolerance and long life characteristics. However, the presence of high porosity and dendrite-developed structure leads to poor high temperature erosion resistance of the coating.

[0033] In view of this, relevant researchers have proposed to improve the high-temperature erosion resistance of thermal barrier coatings by means of surface densification and surface superposition of dense layers. However, the superposition process is complex, the process is long and the cost is high. Moreover, since PS-PVD uses the principle of differential pressure expansion to make the jet expand and elongate instantly and obtain high-energy, high-speed jets deposited over a large area, in order to constrain the atmosphere in the expansion flow, the low viscosity characteristics of helium are also used to make the gas phase more concentrated to obtain a quasi-columnar structure coating. Among them, the PS-PVD classic process current I is 2600A, the main gas is argon Ar and helium He, the total gas flow is 90-100slpm, and the Ar / He ratio is about 2. Since the cost of helium is more than 10 times that of hydrogen, the use of a large amount of helium has greatly increased the application cost of PS-PVD technology.

[0034] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a PS-PVD thermal barrier coating and a preparation method thereof to solve the above technical problems.

[0035] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0036] This embodiment provides a method for preparing a PS-PVD thermal barrier coating, wherein the median particle size D of the ceramic powder used to prepare the thermal barrier coating is 50 The particle size of the ceramic powder is 6 to 8 μm, and the crushing strength of the ceramic powder is greater than 100 MPa when the deformation amount is 10%. The plasma spray gun anode adopts a double-sided powder feeding method to feed the ceramic powder, the powder feeding direction is opposite to the jet direction, and the angle between the cross section of the powder feeding direction and the jet direction is α. In the plasma main gas, the flow ratio of argon to helium is 1:1 to 8:1.

[0037] The median particle size D of the ceramic powder for preparing thermal barrier coating is 50 Setting it to 6-8μm, relative to the median particle size of 8-12μm of commercial powder, can reduce the fluidity of ceramic powder, thereby increasing the difficulty of powder transportation and spraying, so that the ceramic powder can be continuously transported and stably sprayed for a long time, and by setting the deformation of the ceramic powder at a pressure greater than 100MPa to 10%, the ceramic powder has a higher crushing strength, which significantly improves the uniformity of the powder during collapse, so that the deposition efficiency of the ceramic powder during the deposition process is increased to 30%, which is effectively improved compared to the 20% deposition efficiency of commercial powder, and lays a good foundation for low-cost coating preparation.

[0038] By feeding ceramic powder into the plasma spray gun anode by double-sided reverse powder feeding and controlling the powder feeding angle of the plasma spray gun anode, the compatibility of ceramic powder and high-speed plasma jet can be improved, and the adhesion of deposits inside the anode and its influence on jet stability can be reduced, thereby improving the interaction stability between ceramic powder and plasma jet. By limiting the flow ratio of argon to helium in the plasma main gas to between 1:1 and 8:1, the use of helium in the process is effectively reduced, thereby significantly reducing the process cost.

[0039] It can be seen that the preparation method of the PS-PVD thermal barrier coating can significantly reduce the preparation cost of the PS-PVD thermal barrier coating, thereby effectively solving the technical problem of high cost of the existing method for forming a thermal barrier coating on the surface of a turbine blade.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the angle α between the powder feeding direction and the jet direction is 20°±1°.

[0041] By limiting the angle α between the powder feeding direction and the jet direction within the above range, on the one hand, it can avoid the situation where the ceramic powder is directly sent to the high temperature zone due to α being too large, resulting in excessive evaporation and blocking the nozzle. On the other hand, it can also avoid the situation where the ceramic powder is directly sent to the low temperature zone due to α being too small, resulting in poor deposition effect.

[0042] Please continue to refer to Figure 1In this embodiment, the powder delivery channels 200 on both sides of the plasma spray gun anode are arranged symmetrically with the jet direction as the center line. In other words, the two powder delivery channels 200 are mirror-symmetrical with the jet channel 100. This arrangement can ensure uniform deposition.

[0043] In this embodiment, the powder feeding rate of each side of the plasma spray gun anode is 5-7 g / min. This setting can not only avoid the situation where the deposition effect is poor due to too fast a powder feeding rate, but also avoid the reduction of efficiency due to too slow a powder feeding rate.

[0044] In this embodiment, the powder carrier gas flow rate of the plasma main gas is 10-14 slpm.

[0045] In this embodiment, the spraying current is 2000A, the spraying distance is 1000-1200mm, and the spraying power is 80-100kW.

[0046] In this embodiment, the plasma spray gun and the sample are sprayed and deposited in a relative moving manner, the preheating temperature of the sample is 700-900° C., and the deposition rate of the thermal barrier coating is 3-6 μm / min.

[0047] In this embodiment, the total flow rate of the plasma main gas is 90 slpm, wherein the flow rate of the argon gas is 45 to 80 slpm, and the flow rate of the helium gas is 10 to 45 slpm.

[0057] Embodiment 5

[0058] The optimized ceramic powder used in Example 5 has a median particle size D of 1.3777 W / m2 measured by a laser particle size analyzer. 50 The diameter of the ceramic powder is 6.89 μm, and the crushing strength of the ceramic powder is tested by a micro compression tester, in which no less than 10 ceramic powder particles are tested separately. Under the condition of 10% deformation, the crushing strength of the ceramic powder is measured to be 153±15.5 MPa.

[0059] like Figure 6 As shown, by calculating the comprehensive cost ratio based on cost and deposition efficiency, where cost refers to process cost (auxiliary equipment power (60kW), actual power input of the spray gun, gas cost per hour), process cost is calculated as yuan / h, and deposition efficiency refers to the deposition rate of the plasma spray gun and the sample under the same relative motion relationship, marked in μm / min, and the deposition process cost of the thermal barrier coating with a thickness of 200μm under different process conditions is compared.

[0060] like Figure 7 As shown, the relationship between deposition rate and microhardness under the process conditions of Ar30slpm and He60slpm, Ar60slpm and He30slpm, Ar65slpm and He25slpm, Ar70slpm and He20slpm, Ar75slpm and He15slpm, and Ar80slpm and He10slpm is shown.

[0061] In the preparation method of the PS-PVD thermal barrier coating, compared with the classic standard process spraying current (I) 2600A, spraying power 120-130kW, Ar 30-35slpm, He 60slpm, the optimized ceramic powder and corresponding equipment of this embodiment are used to achieve the preparation of a quasi-columnar structure coating under a low-power (80-100kW) plasma spray gun input at a spraying current of 2000A, the power is reduced by 20-40kW, and at the same time, He is reduced by 1 / 3-5 / 6, which significantly reduces the process cost.

[0062] In summary, the preparation method of the PS-PVD thermal barrier coating overcomes the typical standard process defects of high power and high helium flow, reduces the use of rare and precious helium by 1 / 3 to 5 / 6, reduces the input power consumption of the plasma spray gun by 20 to 40 kW per hour, and increases the microhardness by more than 40%.

[0063] In addition, this embodiment also provides a PS-PVD thermal barrier coating, which is prepared using the above-mentioned preparation method of the PS-PVD thermal barrier coating.

[0064] The PS-PVD thermal barrier coating obtained by the above preparation method has low cost.

[0065] In addition, the PS-PVD thermal barrier coating obtained by the above preparation method has a microhardness of HV 0.1 >300, with high hardness, which effectively improves the thermal barrier coating's ability to resist environmental damage and prolongs its service life.
