[0002] For aeroengine superalloy components serving in a high-temperature, high-pressure, and harsh turbine environment for a long time, the surface environmental barrier coating ceramic material must meet the following requirements: good fracture toughness to improve the stress-strain tolerance of the coating and avoid failure caused by coating stress concentration; high hardness to resist particle erosion and impact in the gas; excellent CMAS corrosion resistance to extend the service life of the thermal barrier coating, etc.

[0003] The single-component rare-earth monosilicate material has become one of the candidate systems for environmental barrier coatings due to its better water and oxygen corrosion resistance than YSZ. However, its comprehensive mechanical, thermal, and CMAS corrosion resistance properties have limitations and cannot provide stable guarantee for the long-life service of environmental barrier coatings. With the continuous development and improvement of the monosilicate ceramic system, a large number of studies have confirmed that after doping and modification design of various monosilicate ceramics with excellent properties, the comprehensive mechanical, thermal, and corrosion resistance properties of the ceramic materials are usually more excellent than those of single-component monosilicates, making them have broad development potential in the field of aerospace high-temperature structural materials.

[0005] To solve the problems of the prior art, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0007] Step S1. Weigh Yb2O3 powder, Sc2O3 powder, and SiO2 powder according to a molar ratio of 10 - 10x:10x:10, and add a ball-milling medium for ball milling to obtain a uniform mixed solution;

[0012] As an improvement, in step S3, the mesh number of sieving is 120 - 150 meshes; dry pressing and forming are carried out with two pressurizations. The pressure of the first pressurization is 100 - 180 MPa, the time is 1 - 2 min, the pressure of the second pressurization is 60 - 100 MPa, and the time is 20 s - 50 s.

[0013] As an improvement, in step S3, the debinding temperature is 550 - 650 °C, the debinding time is 2.5 - 4 h, and sintering is carried out in stages.

[0015] The application of the above-mentioned CMAS corrosion-resistant modified monosilicate ceramic material in preparing an environmental barrier coating on the surface of a hot-end component of an aero-engine.

[0016] Beneficial effects:

[0017] Compared with the prior art, a CMAS corrosion-resistant modified monosilicate ceramic material, its preparation method and application of the present invention obtain a modified monosilicate (Yb 1-X Sc X )2SiO5 bulk material through dry pressing and high-temperature sintering. The doping of Sc 3+ reduces the corrosion rate of rare earth ions and CMAS, which drops from 7.1 μm / h of the undoped to 4.9 μm / h.

The mesh number for sieving is 120 meshes; the concentration of PVA during PVA granulation is 5%, aiming to enhance the plasticity of the modified ceramic powder to achieve the granulation effect.

[0035] Comparative Example 1

[0036] A monosilicate ceramic material, the monosilicate ceramic material is Yb2SiO5, and the Yb2SiO5 is prepared from Yb2O3 powder and SiO2 powder. The molar ratio of Yb2O3 powder and SiO2 is 1:1.

[0037] A preparation method of a single silicate ceramic material resistant to CMAS corrosion, comprising the following steps:

[0038] Step S1. Weigh Yb2O3 powder and SiO2 powder according to a molar ratio of 1:1. Then mix the above powders and add ball-milling media for ball-milling. The ball-milling speed is 400 rpm and the ball-milling time is 24 h to obtain a uniform mixed solution;

[0039] Step S2. Dry the mixed solution at a drying temperature of 80 °C for 12 h, and then carry out a high-temperature solid-state reaction at a high-temperature solid-state reaction temperature of 1500 °C for 5 h to obtain a single silicate ceramic powder;

[0040] Step S3. After the single silicate ceramic powder is successively ground, sieved, granulated with PVA, dry-pressed into shape, debinded, and sintered, a single silicate ceramic material is obtained. Among them, the mesh number of sieving is 120 meshes; the concentration of PVA during PVA granulation is 5%, aiming to enhance the plasticity of the modified ceramic powder to achieve the granulation effect. The dry pressing is carried out with two pressurizations. The pressure of the first pressurization is 180 MPa and the time is 1 min. The pressure of the second pressurization is 60 MPa and the time is 25 s; the debinding temperature is 550 °C and the debinding time is 2.5 h. The sintering temperature is 1550 °C and the sintering time is 10 h.

[0041] The performance test results are as Figures 1-6 shown. It can be seen from Figure 1 that the modified ceramic materials (Yb 0.9 Sc 0.1 )2SiO5 and (Yb 0.7 Sc 0.3 )2SiO5 are successfully synthesized by the solid-state reaction method;

[0042] As Figure 2 (a) and Figure 2 (b) show, the surface of the modified single silicate ceramic materials prepared in Examples 1-2 is dense and the porosity is low;

[0043] It can be seen from Figure 3 that the elastic modulus and hardness of Example 1 are 114.12 GPa and 6.13 GPa respectively, and the elastic modulus and hardness of Example 2 are 117.56 GPa and 7.06 GPa respectively, both of which are higher than the elastic modulus and hardness of 88.64 GPa and 4.93 GPa in Comparative Example 1, which is beneficial to enhancing the strain tolerance and anti-particle erosion ability of the coating material;

[0044] It can be seen from Figure 4It can be seen that in the early stage of internal corrosion of Example 1 and Example 2, black platy anorthite, grayish-white acicular apatite and large garnet appeared. Subsequently, the black anorthite began to decompose and decrease. Eventually, more apatite and inclusion garnet were retained inside, and part of the CMAS remained and did not completely react, indicating that the corrosion rate of the modified monosilicate ceramic by CMAS decreased, which is greatly related to the formation of an effective protective layer composed of apatite inside. In addition, a small amount of small garnet and a large amount of apatite were observed from the cross-section of Comparative Example 1, indicating that the modified monosilicate improved the anti-CMAS corrosion ability of Yb2SiO5;

[0045] It can be seen from Figure 5 that the corrosion layer thicknesses of Example 1 and Example 2 at 5 h, 10 h and 20 h were 13.83, 19.94, 27.44 μm and 10.19, 15.64, 23.26 μm respectively. Both were smaller than the corrosion layer thicknesses of Comparative Example 1 at 5 h, 10 h and 20 h, which were 16.89, 22.27, 31.66 μm, indicating that the modified monosilicate improved the CMAS corrosion resistance of the monosilicate Yb2SiO5.

[0046] It can be seen from Figure 6 that the corrosion rates of Example 1 and Example 2 were 6.32 μm / h and 4.95 μm / h respectively, both lower than the corrosion rate of Comparative Example 1, which was 7.11 μm / h, indicating that the doping of Sc 3+ reduced the corrosion rate of the material with CMAS, so that the anti-CMAS corrosion ability of the material was more excellent than that of the single rare-earth monosilicate Yb2SiO5 ceramic material.

[0047] In summary, compared with the Yb2SiO5 of a single rare-earth component, the modified rare-earth monosilicate ceramic material of the present invention obtained a denser sample through segmented sintering, had higher hardness and elastic modulus and was more resistant to CMAS corrosion, and could meet the material selection requirements of environmental barrier coating materials for thermal properties.

[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above specific embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the examples, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
