Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of high-temperature thermal protection coatings and relates to a method for preparing a high-entropy ceramic film, specifically a method for preparing a high-entropy zirconate PVD ceramic thin film. Background Technology

[0002] High-temperature ceramic thin films refer to ceramic-based thin film materials that possess excellent thermal and mechanical properties at high temperatures. Due to their superior high-temperature resistance, oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance, and high hardness, high-temperature ceramic thin films have significant application value in high-end manufacturing. For example, in the aerospace field, ceramic thin films are used as thermal barrier coatings in turbine blades to improve their heat resistance and oxidation resistance; in energy and industrial equipment, ceramic thin films can be used in key components of gas turbines and internal combustion engines to extend equipment lifespan; in the electronics industry, ceramic thin films possess excellent dielectric properties and thermal stability, making them suitable for high-performance electronic devices. However, traditional preparation methods (such as chemical vapor deposition and wet chemical methods) often suffer from environmental pollution, high preparation temperatures, and insufficient film uniformity, making it difficult to meet the needs of high-temperature ceramic thin films in practical applications.

[0003] Physical vapor deposition (PVD) is an advanced thin film preparation technology that transfers materials to the substrate surface through physical means to form a dense and uniform thin film layer. Its advantages include low preparation temperature, strong process controllability, flexible adjustment of thin film chemical composition, and low environmental pollution, making it an important technology in the preparation of high-temperature ceramic thin films. PVD includes processes such as evaporation deposition, sputtering deposition, and ion plating, and ceramic thin films with different chemical compositions and structures can be obtained by controlling deposition parameters. However, in existing technologies, the preparation of high-temperature ceramic thin films by PVD still faces the following technical challenges: (1) High-temperature stability of the film: The film needs to maintain excellent mechanical properties and chemical stability under high-temperature conditions. (2) Adhesion between the film and the substrate: During thermal cycling, the film is prone to peeling, requiring further optimization of the bonding interface.

[0004] In recent years, significant progress has been made in the preparation of nanostructured thin films and multi-component ceramic thin films using PVD technology. These novel coatings have shown promising application prospects in improving the high-temperature performance, thermal shock resistance, and adhesion of thin films. However, the preparation techniques for high-temperature ceramic thin films still need further optimization for different application scenarios to overcome the limitations of existing processes.

[0005] High-entropy ceramic thin films are novel materials developed based on the theory of high-entropy alloys. Unlike traditional single or binary systems, they are composed of multiple principal elements (metals or non-metals), and their complex structures are typically stabilized by entropy effects. These films exhibit significant advantages in high-temperature stability, oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance, and radiation resistance, and are considered an important solution for meeting the demands of extreme operating conditions. However, the complex composition and microstructure design requirements of high-entropy ceramic thin films place extremely high demands on the fabrication process.

[0006] PVD, with its low pollution, precise control, and ability to design various structures, has become the preferred method for preparing high-entropy ceramic thin films. By controlling the deposition process parameters, PVD technology can achieve fine-tuning of the film's microstructure, phase composition, and chemical composition, providing an effective means for optimizing the performance of high-entropy ceramic thin films.

[0007] High-entropy ceramic thin films prepared using PVD technology have attracted significant attention in the field of materials science due to their multifunctional properties and broad application prospects. High-performance thin films can be achieved through rational material design, process optimization, and structural control. However, further collaborative innovation combining multidisciplinary technologies is needed to address the challenges of designing complex systems and scaling up production. In the future, with continuous advancements in materials technology and fabrication processes, high-entropy ceramic thin films are expected to play an even more important role in high-end manufacturing, energy, and extreme environment applications. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To address the problems of insufficient high-temperature stability, poor interfacial adhesion, and difficulties in functional design of thin films in existing technologies, this invention provides a method for preparing high-entropy zirconate PVD ceramic thin films. This method, through specific system optimization and parameter control, prepares ceramic thin films with high density, high adhesion, and high-temperature and corrosion resistance, suitable for various high-temperature applications.

[0009] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0010] A method for preparing a high-entropy zirconate PVD ceramic thin film includes the following steps:

[0011] Step 1: Add zirconia grinding balls and an appropriate amount of deionized water to a vertical ball mill. Then add a certain mass of dispersant to the deionized water. After the dispersant is completely dissolved, proceed according to (Sm... 0.2 Eu 0.2 Tb 0.2 Dy 0.2 Lu 0.2The mixture of Zr2O7 (SETDL) in the indicated proportions was ball-milled with nano-Sm2O3 powder, nano-Eu2O3 powder, nano-Tb2O3 powder, nano-Dy2O3 powder, nano-Lu2O3 powder, and nano-ZrO2 powder for a period of time. After adding a certain amount of binder, the mixture was ball-milled again for a period of time to obtain a uniform slurry.

[0018] The nano Sm2O3 powder, nano Eu2O3 powder, nano Tb2O3 powder, nano Dy2O3 powder, nano Lu2O3 powder, and nano ZrO2 powder raw materials are of 4N purity.

[0019] The amount of deionized water used is 0.5 to 3 times the total mass of the nanopowder;

[0020] The dispersant is sodium tripolyphosphate (Na5P3O4). 10 The dispersant consists of one or more of the following: sodium hexametaphosphate ((NaPO3)6), sodium pyrophosphate (Na4P2O7), ammonium citrate (C6H5O7(NH4)3), sodium citrate (C6H5Na3O7), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and polyethylene glycol (PEG). The amount of dispersant used is 0.03 to 6% of the total mass of the nanoparticles.

[0021] The diameter of the zirconia grinding balls is 2-10 mm, the amount of zirconia grinding balls used is 1-5 times the total mass of the nanopowder, the total grinding time is 6-24 h, and the rotation speed is 300-1000 rpm.

[0022] The binder is one of the following: gum arabic (Acacia), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), ethyl silicate (TEOS), etc., and the amount of binder used is 0.1-10% of the total mass of the nanoparticles;

[0025] Step 3: The rare earth oxide powder obtained in Step 2 is sieved according to particle size. The spherical powders of different particle sizes are then proportioned and pressed using a cold isostatic pressing method to obtain target green bodies with different porosities.

[0026] The sieving specifications are 50-150 mesh, 150-300 mesh, and 300-400 mesh, with a mass ratio of 2-6:1-3:1-5, and are used according to the particle size distribution of the granulated powder and its different porosity requirements;

[0027] During the pressing process, the pressure is controlled at 150-250 MPa, and the holding time is controlled at 120-300 s.

[0028] The cold isostatic pressing method can use forming methods such as wet bag cold isostatic pressing, dry bag cold isostatic pressing, and press pre-pressing. Preferably, the cold isostatic pressing method is wet bag cold isostatic pressing.

[0029] Step 4: Sinter the target green material to obtain SETDL high-entropy zirconate EB-PVD target material, wherein:

[0030] The sintering mechanism is as follows: First, the temperature is increased to 350℃ (removal temperature) at a rate of 1-10℃ / min and held for 300-420 min. Then, the temperature is increased to 1100℃ at a rate of 1-10℃ / min and held for 180-250 min. Subsequently, the temperature is increased to 1400℃ (synthesis temperature) at a rate of 1-10℃ / min and held for 480-600 min. Finally, the temperature is reduced to room temperature.

[0031] The discharge temperature is related to the type of dispersant and glue used in granulation, and the synthesis temperature is related to different high-entropy systems.

[0032] Step 5: Using physical vapor deposition (PVD) technology, high-entropy zirconate EB-PVD target material is deposited on a smooth and glossy PVD substrate surface to form a SETDL high-entropy zirconate PVD ceramic thin film, wherein:

[0033] The PVD substrate can be one of a single crystal silicon board, a polished alloy substrate, etc.

[0034] The parameters for preparing the SETDL high-entropy zirconate PVD ceramic thin film are as follows: the substrate temperature is heated from room temperature to 50–200°C; the distance between the substrate and the evaporation target (target-substrate distance) and the angle between the substrate plane normal and the incident vapor particles (incident angle) can be adjusted according to actual needs, with a maximum target-substrate distance of 500 mm and an incident angle set at 45°; during coating preparation, the electron gun high voltage is -10–-4 kV, and the electron gun beam current is 80–110 W / cm. 2 The scanning position (X-axis, Y-axis) current variation range is ±0.7A-±1.3A.

[0037] 2. This invention utilizes particle size classification and distribution technology to press rare earth oxide spherical powder into green bodies. To ensure that the overall volume shrinkage rate of the target material is minimized and that it meets the requirements of a certain porosity, the solid-phase synthesis sintering route is combined with the target material sintering route. This allows for strict control of porosity and volume shrinkage, solving the problems of unstable dimensions and poor toughness of ceramic target materials after sintering. It also simplifies the target material preparation process and reduces production costs.

[0038] 3. The SETDL target material prepared by this invention has high purity, excellent mechanical properties, and a smooth coating surface structure. It can be used to replace traditional EB-PVD coating materials as high-performance thermal barrier coating materials for aero-engines and gas turbines.

[0056] Step 7: Select a monocrystalline silicon substrate as the base material, which has a clean and glossy surface.

[0057] Step 8: The high-entropy target material sintered in Step 6 is deposited onto the surface of the single-crystal silicon substrate from Step 7 using physical vapor deposition (PVD) to obtain the SETDL PVD ceramic thin film.
