Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a high-temperature thermal protective coating and a preparation method thereof, and in particular to a multi-layered thermal protective coating suitable for a hydrogen-containing fuel gas turbine and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As global energy consumption continues to grow, it has not only brought about an energy crisis caused by over-exploitation of non-renewable energy sources such as fossil fuels, but also brought about increasingly urgent problems of climate change and environmental pollution. Hydrogen energy, as a key energy source that can promote the development of a low-carbon economy, has received more and more widespread attention. As the main force of traditional fossil fuel power generation, gas turbines are also actively seeking new development directions in today's increasingly severe situation. Combining hydrogen energy with gas turbines, that is, hydrogen-fueled gas turbines, refers to the premixing and combustion of a certain proportion of hydrogen and natural gas. It can not only achieve clean utilization of energy and improve the power generation efficiency of gas turbines, but also greatly improve the efficiency and flexibility of the energy system, thereby achieving zero carbon emissions in the future and reducing pollution to the environment. Test results of the US DENVER project show that a 5% mass fraction of hydrogen and natural gas mixed fuel can make hydrocarbons, CO2 and NO x Emissions are reduced by 30-50%, and the increase in hydrogen content will also reduce CO2 emissions. Hydrogen-fueled gas turbines have broad development prospects. However, the main materials used in the hot end components of advanced heavy-duty gas turbines currently in service and under development are still high-temperature alloys. Using hydrogen as a partial fuel source will inevitably bring more stringent challenges to the high-temperature alloys of the hot end components: the presence of water vapor, a combustion product of hydrogen, will accelerate the oxidation process of high-temperature alloys; when high-temperature alloys are exposed to a hydrogen environment, hydrogen embrittlement will cause the ductility of alloy materials to decrease, and the strength and mechanical properties of materials to deteriorate; the increase in the proportion of mixed hydrogen will also increase the operating temperature of the combustion chamber and turbine components. The above challenges put forward higher requirements on the performance of high-temperature alloys for gas turbines. However, the development cycle of high-temperature alloys is long and the high-temperature resistance is limited. The increase in turbine inlet temperature, which represents the performance of gas turbines, depends not only on the development of hydrogen fuel technology, but also on the improvement of cooling technology.

[0003] Thermal protection coating technology can be used to cool down high-temperature alloys, isolate the erosion of high-temperature water vapor, and better protect the high-temperature alloy substrate. However, the current high-temperature alloy thermal protection coating is still a typical thermal barrier coating yttrium-stabilized zirconia (YSZ). YSZ will undergo phase changes after long-term service at 1200°C and cannot resist the erosion of high-temperature water vapor. Therefore, it is not suitable for thermal protection materials for hydrogen-fueled gas turbines. Therefore, it is imperative to research and develop new thermal protection coatings suitable for high-temperature alloys that are resistant to high-temperature water vapor corrosion.

[0004] On the basis of comprehensively utilizing the advantages of multiple materials, constructing a thermal protective coating with a multilayer structure is one of the effective methods to improve the performance of the coating. The research and development of silicate materials resistant to high-temperature water and oxygen corrosion is to protect ceramic-based composite materials from environmental factors such as high-temperature water vapor. It has excellent high-temperature water and oxygen corrosion resistance and is the leading candidate material for current environmental barrier coatings. However, silicate materials cannot be directly applied to thermal protective coatings for high-temperature alloys because of the large difference in thermal expansion coefficient between them and the high-temperature alloy substrate. Considering superimposing the silicate coating on the outer layer of the thermal barrier coating YSZ, it can not only take advantage of the advantages of environmental barrier coating materials in terms of water and oxygen corrosion resistance and heat insulation and cooling, but also increase the operating temperature of YSZ, reduce or even prevent YSZ phase transformation. However, the mismatch in thermal expansion coefficients between different materials in the multilayer structure will generate stress during multiple thermal cycles, leading to the initiation of interface cracks, and ultimately leading to the peeling and failure of the coating. Constructing a multilayer thermal protection coating is one of the methods to slow down crack initiation and effectively reduce the negative impact of thermal mismatch. The added functional transition layer can not only ensure the overall strength and corrosion resistance of the thermal protection coating, but also effectively alleviate the rapid change of the thermal expansion coefficient at the silicate / YSZ interface, improve the thermal cycle life, and ensure the structural stability of the coating, thereby increasing the service life of the coating. It can also develop a durable thermal protection coating structure specifically for the special working conditions and use environment of hydrogen-fueled gas turbines. Thermal shock resistance is a key indicator for evaluating the performance of thermal protection coatings. It is directly related to the stability and service life of the coating in a high temperature environment, and is a key factor affecting the durability of the thermal protection system. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to ensure the structural stability of the multi-layer structure thermal protection coating suitable for hydrogen-fueled gas turbines under high temperature and multiple thermal cycles, the present invention comprehensively utilizes the advantages of material composition and structure for the special working conditions and use environment of hydrogen-fueled gas turbines, and provides a multi-layer structure thermal protection coating suitable for hydrogen-fueled gas turbines and a preparation method thereof. The new structure coating can be used in hydrogen-fueled gas turbines. On the basis of giving full play to the advantages of environmental barrier and thermal barrier coatings, the present invention utilizes the changes in the structure and composition of multi-layer ceramic coatings to construct a multi-layer structure thermal protection coating with a layer-by-layer transition of thermal expansion coefficients that can greatly improve the thermal cycle life. The top layer of the multi-layer structure thermal protection coating of the present invention adopts a silicate coating, and the spraying power is appropriately increased, so that the proportion of the unmelted area of ​​the coating is reduced, the coating density is higher, and the nanohardness is effectively improved. The micropores in the residual unmelted structure can increase the surface energy of the area, so that it has a higher sintering driving force, so that the unmelted area is densified faster, separated from the layer area generated after spraying, and formed relatively large pores, which can offset the negative impact caused by the healing of micropores in the coating during high-temperature service to a certain extent. The transition from the silicate top layer downward to the YSZ+silicate functional transition layer is controlled to be greater than or equal to the silicate ratio. While ensuring a certain resistance to water and oxygen corrosion, the overall thermal cycle performance of the coating is guaranteed. The ratio of YSZ to silicate in the transition layer can be adjusted according to the ratio of hydrogen in the hydrogen-containing fuel, providing targeted resistance to water and oxygen corrosion and mitigation of thermal mismatch. The YSZ intermediate layer, according to the characteristics of the YSZ material that is prone to phase change during service and causes volume change, thereby causing coating failure, appropriately reduces the spraying power, so that the proportion of the unmelted area of ​​the coating increases, the coating porosity is higher, and the thermal conductivity of the coating is effectively reduced. There are a large number of unmelted areas, and the anti-sintering performance during service is significantly improved. The gradient distribution of the composition can make the thermal expansion coefficient of the coating present a gradient change. The composition change occurring along the thickness direction can reduce the thermal expansion mismatch, reduce the residual stress generated by the coating during the shrinkage process, and reduce the internal thermal stress, thereby improving the thermal cycle life. In addition, a bonding bottom layer is set between the ceramic layer and the alloy to alleviate the mismatch between the thermal expansion of the ceramic layer and the metal substrate and improve the bonding strength. The top layer is a silicate environmental barrier coating, the gradient transition layer is a YSZ+silicate functional transition layer, the middle layer is a YSZ thermal barrier layer, plus a bonding bottom layer. Although the entire coating is a multi-layer structure, due to the reasonable composition and structure, the thermal expansion coefficient of the coating presents a gradient change, which effectively alleviates the premature failure caused by thermal mismatch between the double ceramic coatings, and can effectively improve the thermal cycle life of the thermal protective coating for hydrogen-fueled gas turbines. It plays an effective role in heat insulation and cooling, resisting water and oxygen corrosion and extending the service life of high-temperature alloys for hydrogen-fueled gas turbines. It is not only suitable for hydrogen-fueled gas turbines for power generation, but also suitable for hydrogen-fueled gas turbines in navigation, military and other fields.

By regulating the structure and composition of the materials, the thermal shock resistance of the coating is improved; spraying the sprayable feed mixture on the surface of the YSZ thermal barrier intermediate layer to obtain the YSZ+silicate functional transition layer, and the spraying method adopts a large One or more of atmospheric plasma spraying (APS), supersonic flame spraying (HVOF), and supersonic flame spraying (HVOF); when atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) is used, the preparation parameters of the YSZ+silicate functional transition layer are: the spraying current is 400-650A, the voltage is 65-100V, the spraying power is 32-55KW, the main gas is argon, the flow rate is 38-43SCFH, the auxiliary gas is hydrogen, the auxiliary gas flow rate is 10-15SCFH, the powder delivery mode is a turntable, the turntable speed is 20-40r / min, and the carrier gas flow rate is 2-3SCFH;

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0023] 1. The present invention is based on the problem that the mismatch in thermal expansion coefficients between different materials in a multi-layer structure will generate stress during multiple thermal cycles, leading to the initiation of interface cracks and ultimately causing the coating to peel off and fail. By comprehensively utilizing the advantages of material composition and structure, a multi-layer thermal protective coating suitable for hydrogen-fueled gas turbines and a preparation method thereof are provided. It has been verified by the embodiments that the thermal cycle life of the multi-layer thermal protective coating at 1100°C can be increased by more than about 60%.

[0024] 2. The present invention, on the basis of giving full play to the advantages of environmental barrier coating materials and thermal barrier coating materials, utilizes the changes in structure and composition to construct a multilayer thermal protection coating with a gradually transitioning thermal expansion coefficient. The proportion of the unmelted area of ​​the top layer of the environmental barrier coating is reduced, and the coating density is higher, which effectively improves the hardness of the coating. The micropores in the residual unmelted structure can increase the surface energy of the area, so that it has a higher sintering driving force, allowing the unmelted area to densify faster and separate from the layer area produced after atmospheric plasma spraying to form relatively large pores, which can offset the negative impact of micropore healing during high-temperature service of the coating to a certain extent. From the top layer of the environmental barrier to the middle layer of the thermal barrier, the proportion of the unmelted area of ​​the coating increases, and the porosity of the coating is slightly higher, which effectively reduces the thermal conductivity of the coating. The large number of unmelted areas significantly improves the anti-sintering performance of the coating during service.

[0025] 3. The gradient change of coating composition distribution can make the thermal expansion coefficient of the coating present a gradient change. The composition change along the thickness direction can reduce the thermal expansion mismatch, reduce the residual stress generated by the coating during the shrinkage process, and reduce the internal thermal stress, thereby increasing the thermal cycle life and thus increasing the service life.

[0026] 4. In the gradient transition layer, the traditional thermal barrier coating material YSZ is combined with the environmental barrier coating material silicate with excellent resistance to environmental corrosion, so that the thermal expansion coefficient of the coating presents a gradient change, the stress change amplitude at the internal crack tip is low, and the crack expansion dynamics are also small, which improves the high-temperature stability of the coating.

[0027] 5. Reasonable spraying parameters are used between each layer. No heat treatment is required after spraying. The top layer of the formed ceramic layer is dense and has few pores. The gradient transition layer alleviates the thermal expansion mismatch. The middle layer has a slightly higher porosity and better thermal insulation effect, and is well bonded with the metal bonding layer. From the base metal to the top ceramic layer, the thermal expansion coefficient gradually transitions, eliminating the internal thermal stress and enhancing the bonding strength, which will help further develop thermal protective coatings for hydrogen-fueled gas turbines.
