Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of infrared stealth coating, and particularly relates to an infrared stealth composite coating, a preparation method thereof and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Stealth technology, namely low detectability technology or target feature control technology, its main purpose is to change the signal difference between the target and the background to make it tend to be consistent, and when the signal difference is smoothed out, it is stealth. With the rapid development of detection technology, the detection technology has been extended from microwave detection to infrared, acoustic wave and other bands. In order to meet the requirements of multi-band detection technology, stealth technology has also put forward high-performance requirements from single-band stealth to multi-band compatible stealth, that is, compatible visible light stealth, infrared stealth, laser stealth, radar microwave stealth and even full-band stealth technology. Infrared detection is based on the principle of thermal imaging, and since the object itself is an infrared light source, infrared detection is relatively easy in the two atmospheric windows of medium wave and long wave, and has the characteristics of strong anti-interference ability and all-weather operation. Therefore, improving infrared stealth technology has received great attention.

[0003] It can be known from the Stefan-Boltzmann law that the magnitude of the target radiation ability is determined by the emissivity and temperature. Therefore, reducing the target surface emissivity and controlling the target surface temperature are the basic ways to achieve infrared stealth. High-temperature infrared stealth coatings generally consist of an infrared radiation attenuation layer and a thermal radiation control layer, which is a typical multi-layer structure. The infrared radiation attenuation layer mainly uses materials with a relatively low infrared emissivity in a specific band, such as metal coating materials, polymer materials, etc., so that this layer has good low infrared emissivity characteristics, can effectively weaken the infrared radiation emitted by the target surface, and enhance the thermal radiation scattering performance of the target surface, thereby reducing the possibility of the target being detected by an infrared detector. The thermal radiation control layer generally uses nano-materials, metal oxides, ceramic materials, etc., which can effectively control the scattering range and scattering intensity of the target surface thermal radiation, as well as the temperature transfer in the coating, and reduce the influence of temperature factors on the magnitude of the infrared radiation amount.

[0004] Patent CN117802500A discloses a high-temperature infrared stealth coating material, a preparation method thereof and an application thereof. The coating includes an adhesive layer, a ceramic layer, an aluminum film layer and a platinum metal layer, and can improve the bonding strength and thermal shock performance on the basis of maintaining good infrared stealth performance of the coating. However, the aluminum film layer in this coating will undergo melting and agglomeration in a vacuum high-temperature environment, and during this process, due to the relatively thin platinum film layer, the downward compressive stress is insufficient and the film layer will rupture. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop an infrared stealth composite coating with excellent high-temperature oxidation resistance and thermal shock resistance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to overcome the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, and to provide an infrared stealth composite coating, a preparation method and an application thereof.

[0006] The present invention is realized through the following technical solutions:

[0007] In the first aspect, the present invention provides an infrared stealth composite coating, which sequentially includes an adhesive layer, a ceramic layer, an aluminum film layer, a nickel film layer and a platinum film layer; the material of the adhesive layer includes NiCoCrAlYTa.

[0008] The present invention provides an infrared stealth composite coating with high-temperature oxidation resistance and low infrared emissivity. The adhesive layer material is NiCoCrAlYTa, so that the coating has better high-temperature oxidation resistance and thermal shock resistance. The ceramic layer is used as a thermal barrier coating, and a metal film layer is arranged on its surface, thereby improving the high-temperature oxidation performance and stealth effect of the composite coating. The present invention uses a ceramic layer with excellent high-temperature oxidation resistance and thermal shock resistance as the bottom layer, which can effectively inhibit the increase of instantaneous temperature and the rise of thermal radiation intensity. On the basis of the ceramic layer, an aluminum film layer and a nickel film layer are further prepared as an intermediate layer structure, and a platinum film layer with low infrared emissivity and excellent antioxidant performance is arranged on the outermost layer. The aluminum film layer and the ceramic layer will generate a dense alumina film in a vacuum high-temperature environment, which can not only enhance the bonding strength between the metal layer and the ceramic layer, but also further improve the high-temperature oxidation resistance of the ceramic layer. Since the aluminum film layer will undergo melting and agglomeration phenomena in a vacuum high-temperature environment, which will cause the film layer to rupture, the present invention further arranges a nickel film layer on the surface of the aluminum film layer. The nickel film layer gives the aluminum film layer a large compressive stress, so that the aluminum film layer cannot damage the coating, and the thermal expansion coefficients of nickel and platinum are more matched. The bonding strength between the metal layers will increase due to the diffusion phenomenon, further improving the performance of the infrared stealth composite coating of the present invention.

[0009] Preferably, the thickness of the adhesive layer is 50 μm - 100 μm; further, in the specific embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the adhesive layer is 60 μm - 90 μm.

[0010] Preferably, the thickness of the ceramic layer is 100 μm - 200 μm.

[0013] Preferably, the thickness of the nickel film layer is 1 μm - 3 μm.

[0015] In the present invention, the thickness of the aluminum film layer can fully generate an alumina thin film at this thickness, strengthening the bonding strength between its metal film layer and the ceramic layer. The nickel film layer, as an intermediate layer structure, effectively reduces the influence caused by the mismatch of the thermal expansion coefficients between the surface platinum film layer and the bottom layer, and reduces the influence of metal diffusion on the infrared performance. In addition, the present invention reduces the thickness of the ceramic layer, which can greatly reduce the coating weight and, while ensuring its basic performance, reduce the load during application.

[0016] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing the infrared stealth composite coating, including the following steps: successively preparing a bonding layer, a ceramic layer, an aluminum film layer, a nickel film layer, and a platinum film layer on the surface of a substrate, and then performing heat treatment to obtain the infrared stealth composite coating.

Heat treatment can make the grains of the metal film layer grow and form and maintain uniformity. The bottom ceramic layer has thermal shock resistance and low infrared emissivity at high temperatures, and the structural design of the metal film layer has the functions of high-temperature oxidation resistance and low infrared emissivity in multiple temperature ranges.

[0022] Preferably, the conditions for magnetron sputtering are: magnetron target current 2 - 5 A, bias voltage 100 - 180 V, and gas pressure less than 5×10 -3 Pa.

Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, the pretreatment is as follows: the substrate is ultrasonically cleaned with gasoline and alcohol in sequence, and then sandblasted with corundum at 0.2MPa - 0.5MPa.

[0026] Preferably, the substrate includes superalloy.

[0027] Specifically, in some embodiments, the superalloy substrate is a nickel-based superalloy.
