Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of preparation and repair of thermal barrier coatings, and in particular to a thermal barrier coating for a high-temperature alloy surface and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Heavy-duty gas turbines are core power equipment that uses high-temperature fuel gas as a working fluid. They are national strategic high-tech and a symbol of the level of major equipment manufacturing. They are related to national energy security, national defense security and industrial competitiveness. Turbine blades are the key hot end components that determine the output power of gas turbines, and are crucial to the performance of the entire gas turbine. The combustion chamber and turbine components of heavy-duty gas turbines are larger than those of aircraft engines, and the coating area of ​​thermal barrier coatings is much larger than that of similar components of aircraft engines. With the improvement of gas turbine efficiency, the service temperature of turbine blades is also increasing. During the operation of the gas turbine, they are subjected to high-temperature and high-pressure gas impacts exceeding 1400°C. This temperature far exceeds the temperature limit of the high-temperature alloy material used in the matrix (about 1000°C). Therefore, the turbine blades must be cooled, that is, a hollow belt cooling structure is used, and a thermal barrier coating is applied to the gas erosion surface. The combustion chamber must also use a high-temperature alloy as the shell, and a thicker thermal barrier coating is applied inside to ensure that the transition section works safely and reliably at high temperatures.

[0003] As the power level and efficiency of gas turbines increase, the gas inlet temperature increases accordingly. Generally, the gas temperature of F-class gas turbines reaches 1450℃, and that of G / H-class gas turbines increases by 100℃ on this basis. The J-class gas turbine increases by another 100℃ on the basis of the G / H-class gas turbines. Obviously, the improvement in the endurance strength of the new high-temperature alloy cannot reach the 100℃ level. Generally, the long-term operating temperature of the highest-level high-temperature alloy that meets the design conditions is difficult to exceed 1000℃, and the current maximum temperature of the turbine blade alloy of the F-class gas turbine can reach about 900℃. Obviously, the applicability of the thermal barrier coating originally used for the F-class gas turbine of the G / H-class gas turbine is close to the limit. The thermal insulation and temperature resistance provided by the thermal barrier coating required by the J-class gas turbine obviously require a new type of high thermal resistance thermal barrier coating.

[0004] Traditional thermal barrier coatings are composed of a metal bonding layer and a ceramic insulation layer. The metal bonding layer is generally MCrAlY (M is Ni, Co or a mixture of the two). The ceramic insulation layer of the F-class engine uses 6-8%wt yttria-stabilized zirconia. When the insulation demand is high, it is usually achieved by increasing the thickness of the insulation layer and increasing its porosity. YSZ has a phase change at 1170 degrees Celsius, which will cause a 4% change in volume. Under normal circumstances, because this characteristic will increase the risk of shedding, YSZ is generally limited to use between 1200 and 1250°C. New materials with higher temperature resistance and lower thermal conductivity are mainly used in defective pyrochlore materials and their doping types such as Gd 2 Zr 2 O 7,La 2 Zr 2 O 7 , Gd 2 -xRExZr 2 O 7 and La 2 -xRExZr 2 O 7 ; Composite doped t' phase or t phase YSZ, namely GdO-YbO-YO-ZrO, TaO-YO-ZrO, etc. belong to this type, rare earth Ta salts, aluminum magnesium salts, etc.

[0005] Most of the new low thermal conductivity materials cannot be used alone at present, because their physical properties are quite different from those of the bonding layer, and they are easy to fall off when used alone. It is necessary to first spray the oxide-stabilized zirconia as a transition layer after spraying the bonding layer, and then continue to spray the low thermal conductivity material on the oxide-stabilized zirconia. The life of this double-layer coating system is not ideal. In the tests that have been carried out, the ceramic layer and the bonding layer and the oxide-stabilized zirconia are both common peeling locations. In addition, during operation, the gas flow contains SO 2 , K salt, sodium salt and other thermally corrosive substances, containing low-melting-point CMAS dust. For units using abradable coatings, there will also be metal particles and ceramic particles in the airflow, all of which may have an adverse effect on the performance of the coating.

[0006] In patent document CN103874580B, a thermal barrier coating system and method thereof are disclosed, including an inner ceramic layer and an outer ceramic layer. The inner ceramic layer is substantially composed of zirconium oxide stabilized by about 6-about 9% yttria and optionally contains more than 0.5-10% hafnium oxide. The outer ceramic layer is coated on and contacts the inner ceramic layer to define the outermost surface of the coating system. The outer ceramic layer is substantially composed of zirconium oxide stabilized by about 25-about 75% yttria by weight, has a thickness less than that of the inner ceramic layer, and also contains more than 0.5-10% hafnium oxide and optionally 1-10% tantalum oxide. The problem of easy detachment due to the difference in physical properties between the ceramic layer and the bonding layer and reducing the adhesion of contamination is not solved.

[0007] Patent document CN109468639B discloses an ultra-limit zirconium alloy and its preparation method, including a zirconium alloy substrate, on the surface of which a bonding layer, a precious metal layer, a ceramic A layer, a ceramic B layer, a sealing coating, a reflective layer, a reflective refractive layer, and an electrical insulation layer are sequentially deposited. The preparation method of the ultra-limit zirconium alloy is to deposit a bonding layer, a precious metal layer, a ceramic A layer, a ceramic B layer, a sealing coating, a reflective layer, a reflective refractive layer, and an electrical insulation layer on the surface of the zirconium alloy substrate in sequence, but does not solve the problem that the ceramic layer and the bonding layer are easy to fall off due to differences in physical properties, and reduce the problem of contamination adhesion. Summary of the invention
