Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of thermal spraying, and in particular, to a multi-layer gradient coating with high-temperature oxidation resistance, abradability and self-lubricating functions, and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, the following bottlenecks exist in high-temperature seal coating technology: there is a contradiction between high-temperature oxidation resistance and abradability. Traditional abradable coatings (such as porous NiCrAlY) have a high porosity (>20%), and a fast oxidation rate at high temperatures (weight gain >10 mg / cm² at 1000°C / 100h), resulting in seal failure. The self-lubricating performance is insufficient. Graphite or MoS₂-based lubricating coatings have poor heat resistance (<500°C decomposition), while high-temperature solid lubricants (such as CaF₂) have a low bonding strength with the metal matrix (<30 MPa). The interlayer thermal mismatch is serious. Multi-layer coatings are prone to interface cracks (stress >300 MPa) due to differences in thermal expansion coefficients (such as ceramics and metals), and are prone to spalling under dynamic conditions.

[0003] CN104278226A discloses a preparation technology for a wide-temperature-range self-lubricating coating. The coating is prepared by atmospheric plasma spraying technology, and its spraying powder consists of four powders: NiCrAlY, Cr₂O₃, Ag, and CaF₂ / BaF₂ eutectic. The prepared NiCrAlY-Cr₂O₃-Ag-CaF₂ / BaF₂ wide-temperature-range self-lubricating coating has a low friction coefficient and wear rate in the temperature range of 20°C to 1000°C. CN115287592A discloses a high-temperature wear-resistant self-lubricating coating for fingertip seals and a preparation method thereof. The high-temperature wear-resistant self-lubricating coating includes, in sequence along the thickness direction: a metal Me bonding layer, a composition gradient transition layer, and a high-temperature wear-resistant self-lubricating surface layer; the composition gradient transition layer is a Me-MeN-MeN / MoS₂ transition layer; the high-temperature wear-resistant self-lubricating surface layer is a MeN / MoS₂ composite layer, and the internal stress is reduced by setting the gradient content. However, the prior art still focuses on the improvement of single functions and does not overcome the performance contradictions of single materials.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a gradient coating integrating the functions of "anti-oxidation-abradability-self-lubrication", and break through the performance contradictions through the collaborative optimization of the material system and process. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention successfully combines the functions of high-temperature oxidation resistance, abradability and self-lubrication by setting a multi-layer gradient coating, and at the same time maintains good interlayer bonding to avoid spalling failure under dynamic conditions caused by differences in thermal expansion coefficients.

[0022] Preferably, the CoNiCrAlY powder includes Co-32Ni-21Cr-8Al-0.5Y.

The underlying CaF₂ enhances high-temperature lubrication and effectively inhibits high-temperature adhesive wear. The gradient transition has no lubrication blind spots, achieving a reduction in the friction coefficient across the entire temperature range. The enrichment of Ag on the surface layer can block the diffusion of oxygen to the bottom layer, while the underlying CaF₂ layer inhibits the upward migration of elements such as Co and Cr, avoiding the formation of brittle phases.

[0182] Testing method:

[0183] Perform coating performance tests on the coatings of Examples 1 - 13 and Comparative Examples 1 - 6 for the gas turbine labyrinth seal ring coating. According to ASTM G99 (Standard for Pin-on-Disk or Ring-on-Disk Wear Tests), the test temperature is 900°C, the rotational speed is 12,000 RPM, the abrading part is made of Inconel 718 hard alloy, the load is 50 N, the contact between the abrading part and the coating is line contact, the test time is 2 - 5 h, and evaluate the volumetric wear rate of the surface layer of the test sample. According to ASTM G54 (Standard for High-Temperature Oxidation Tests of Materials), the test temperature is 900°C, the test atmosphere is static air or simulated gas (containing O2, H2O, CO2), the test time is 100 - 500 hours (simulating long-term service), and evaluate the oxidation weight gain of the test sample. According to API 617 (Seal Performance Specification for the Gas Turbine Industry), test the seal performance of the test sample, the test temperature is 900°C, the pressure difference is 0.5 - 1.5 MPa (simulating the pressure difference between the compressor / turbine section of the gas turbine), the medium is nitrogen or air, dynamically adjust the abrading gap (the initial gap is 50 - 100 μm, simulating the sealing performance after labyrinth wear), and evaluate the leakage amount. ASTM C633 tests the bonding strength between the high-temperature oxidation-resistant layer and the self-lubricating transition layer of the coating.

[0184] Test results:

[0185] The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0186] Table 1

[0187]

[0188] It can be seen from the test results that:

[0189] (1) It can be seen from Examples 1 to 3 that through the synergistic effect of the bonding layer, the high-temperature oxidation-resistant layer, the self-lubricating transition layer and the abradable surface layer of the present invention, it is possible to achieve a reduction in the friction coefficient, a controllable surface layer wear rate, good oxidation resistance and excellent sealing performance. The friction coefficient in the steady state stage is between 0.18 and 0.22, a 50% reduction compared to traditional coatings, and the wear rate of the abradable surface layer ≤ 5×10-6 mm 3 / N•m, oxidation weight gain ≤ 3 mg / cm at 1000 °C for 200 h 2 , leakage rate ≤ 3% (far lower than the industry standard of ≤ 5%);

[0190] (2) It can be seen from Examples 1 and 4 - 11 that by further optimizing the component content of each layer, the present invention can better balance the functions of high-temperature oxidation resistance, abradability, and self-lubrication, so as to achieve a lower friction coefficient, a smaller wear rate, and a smaller interlayer thermal stress. When the content of Al2O3 nanoparticles in the high-temperature oxidation-resistant layer of Example 4 is too low, the oxidation weight gain increases by 50% and the high-temperature oxidation resistance decreases; when the content of Al2O3 nanoparticles in the high-temperature oxidation-resistant layer of Example 5 is too high, the bonding force between the high-temperature oxidation-resistant layer and the self-lubricating transition layer drops from 57 MPa to 38 MPa. When the content of the Ag and CaF2 mixed powder in the self-lubricating transition layer of Example 6 is too low, the friction coefficient rises and the surface wear rate increases. When the content of the Ag and CaF2 mixed powder in the self-lubricating transition layer of Example 7 is too high, the bonding force between the high-temperature oxidation-resistant layer and the self-lubricating transition layer drops from 57 MPa to 28 MPa. When the mass ratio of Ag and CaF2 in the self-lubricating transition layer of Examples 8 and 9 is too high or too low, the friction coefficient of the coating rises and the surface wear rate increases. When the content of h-BN powder in the abradable surface layer of Examples 10, 11 is too low or too high, the friction coefficient of the coating rises and the surface wear rate increases;

[0191] (3) It can be seen from Example 1 and Examples 12 - 13 and 17 that by optimizing the pore structure of the abradable surface layer, the present invention improves the lubricity of the abradable surface layer and reduces the surface wear rate. When the porosity of the surface layer is too low, the wear rate decreases but the friction coefficient rises significantly. When the surface porosity is too high, the wear rate increases significantly. When porous powder is not used, the friction coefficient of the coating rises and the surface wear rate increases. It can be seen from Example 1 and Examples 15 - 16 that by introducing alumina particles and Co into the high-temperature oxidation-resistant layer, the present invention greatly improves the high-temperature oxidation resistance. It can be seen from Example 1 and Examples 18 - 19 that by optimizing the particle size of the alumina particles, the present invention further improves the high-temperature oxidation resistance. It can be seen from Example 1 and Example 20 that by means of laser micromelting technology, the present invention further improves the interlayer bonding force;

[0192] (4) It can be seen from Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 - 4 that through the synergistic effect of the multi-functional coating, the present invention realizes the functions of high-temperature oxidation resistance, abradability, and self-lubrication, and can obtain a lower friction coefficient, high-temperature oxidation resistance, and sealing effect. When any one of the layers is missing, the technical effects of this application cannot be achieved.

[0193] In summary, through the setting of the multi-layer gradient composite structure, the present invention realizes the integration of high-temperature oxidation resistance, self-lubrication and abradable functions into the coating, breaks through the performance contradiction problem of traditional single coatings, overcomes the spalling failure problem caused by the difference in thermal expansion coefficients of multi-layer coatings, and provides a multi-functional and highly stable coating through the synergistic effect of various types of coatings and the optimization of materials and processes.

Those skilled in the art should understand that any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention fall within the protection scope and the disclosure scope of the present invention.
