Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of environmental barrier coating materials, and in particular relates to an ytterbium-scandium double silicate solid solution ceramic material, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Carbon-carbon (C / C) composite material is a high-performance composite material with carbon fiber as reinforcement and carbon as matrix, which has the remarkable characteristics of low density, high specific strength, high specific modulus, small thermal expansion coefficient and excellent high temperature mechanical properties. Its density is usually 1.6-2.0g / cm 3 The C / C composite material has a very low coefficient of thermal expansion, showing excellent thermal stability, and can maintain dimensional stability in high temperature environments, avoiding deformation or failure due to thermal stress. More importantly, the mechanical properties of C / C composite materials in high temperature environments show a unique abnormal temperature effect, that is, as the temperature increases, its strength not only does not decrease, but increases. This feature enables it to maintain excellent mechanical properties under extreme high temperature conditions, and is particularly suitable for high temperature, high pressure, and high stress working environments such as aircraft engines. For example, in the hot end components of aircraft engines (such as combustion chambers, turbine blades, nozzles, etc.), C / C composite materials can withstand operating temperatures of up to 2000°C and have excellent thermal shock resistance and oxidation resistance, which significantly improves the thermal efficiency and reliability of the engine. In addition, C / C composite materials also have good corrosion resistance and fatigue resistance, and can work stably for a long time in complex thermal-mechanical coupling environments. Therefore, C / C composite materials have broad application prospects in high-end technology fields such as aerospace, nuclear energy, and high-speed braking systems. Especially in the hot end components of aircraft engines, they have become one of the irreplaceable key materials.

[0003] However, C / C composites rapidly oxidize and fail in high-temperature oxygen environments. Silicon carbide (SiC) ceramics are widely used as antioxidant coating materials for C / C composites due to their excellent oxidation resistance. In high-temperature oxygen environments, a layer of flowing SiO2 glass phase forms on the coating surface, which can fill coating gaps and repair coating cracks, thereby preventing further oxygen erosion (L. Li, HJ Li, HJ Lin, et al. Comparison of the oxidation behaviors of SiC coatings on C / C composites prepared by pack cementation and chemical vapor deposition [J]. Surface and Coatings Technology, 2016, 302: 56-64.). However, during service, the high-temperature water vapor and oxygen generated by aircraft engines can corrode SiC and SiO2, causing the SiC coating to rapidly fail (XXCao, XGLuan, YLWang, et al. Oxidation and corrosion behavior of 2Dlaminated SiC / SiC with Si / mullite / BSAS EBC in dry oxygen / water vapor at 1200°C [J]. Corrosion Science, 2023, 219: 111-237). Therefore, coating C / C composites with SiC coatings with environmental barrier coatings (EBCs) is an effective means of extending the service life of composites in high-temperature water-oxygen coupled environments. Rare earth disilicates are the most promising candidate materials for EBCs. Among them, ytterbium disilicate (Yb2Si2O7) is widely used due to its characteristics of not undergoing phase transitions at high temperatures and having a thermal expansion coefficient that closely matches that of SiC. However, in a long-term high-temperature water-oxygen corrosion environment at 1316°C, a porous layer of Yb2SiO5 with a high thermal expansion coefficient will form on the surface of Yb2Si2O7, and water vapor and other substances will penetrate into the interior through these pores, causing the performance of the material to deteriorate (BTRichards,KAYoung,FDFrancqueville,et al.Response of ytterbiumdisilicate–silicon environmental barrier coatings to thermal cycling in watervapor[J].ActaMaterialia,2016,106:1-14.).Therefore, the existing Yb2Si2O7 environmental barrier coating is difficult to meet the working needs of the new generation of aircraft engines. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an ytterbium-scandium double silicate solid solution ceramic material and its preparation method and application, so as to solve the technical problem that the existing surface coating environmental barrier coating is difficult to meet the use requirements of long-term high-temperature water-oxygen corrosion environment.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] The present invention discloses a ytterbium-scandium double silicate solid solution ceramic material, wherein the chemical formula of the ytterbium-scandium double silicate solid solution ceramic material is Yb x Sc (2-x) Si2O7;

[0007] Wherein: x is the molar atomic weight of Sc replacing Yb; and 0<x<2.

[0012] Furthermore, the purity of the ytterbium oxide powder, the scandium oxide powder and the silicon dioxide powder is ≥99.9 wt %, and the original particle size is 200-800 meshes.

[0013] Furthermore, the solvent is ethanol; the mass ratio of the reaction raw materials to the solvent is 5:1.

[0014] Furthermore, the post-processing includes drying and screening performed in sequence;

[0015] The process steps of the dry pressing-pressureless sintering treatment are: performing pressureless sintering on the mixed powder and then performing physical and mechanical treatment, placing it in a mold for cold pressing to obtain an ytterbium-scandium double silicate solid solution ceramic block material; then placing the ytterbium-scandium double silicate solid solution ceramic block material in a heat treatment device for pressureless sintering to obtain an ytterbium-scandium double silicate solid solution ceramic material.

[0016] Furthermore, the cold pressing pressure is 15-25 MPa, and the holding time is 3-5 minutes.

[0017] Furthermore, the pressureless sintering is carried out in normal pressure and air medium; the temperature of the pressureless sintering is 1400-1600° C., and the holding time is 8-12 hours.

[0018] Furthermore, the physical and mechanical treatment is a ball milling method in an alcohol medium, followed by drying and sieving to obtain an ytterbium-scandium double silicate solid solution ceramic material with a particle size of 0.5 to 5 μm.

Through component design, the chemical formula of the ytterbium-scandium double silicate solid solution ceramic material is Yb x Sc (2-x) Si2O7, where the molar atomic weight x of Sc replacing Yb satisfies the relationship 0<x<2. Since both Yb2Si2O7 and Sc2Si2O7 maintain a stable single β phase below 1700°C, this composition does not undergo phase transitions at 1500°C in an air atmosphere, exhibiting excellent phase stability and meeting the high-temperature phase stability requirements for advanced environmental barrier coating applications. Experimental results demonstrate that the ytterbium-scandium disilicate solid solution ceramic material disclosed herein exhibits excellent resistance to high-temperature water vapor corrosion. When tested at 1500°C in a 90% H2O-10% O2 atmosphere for 100 hours, the weight loss rate is significantly lower than that of pure ytterbium disilicate, demonstrating the significant economic value of this solid solution as a novel environmental barrier coating material.

[0023] The present invention also discloses a preparation method of the above-mentioned ytterbium-scandium double silicate solid solution ceramic material. By adopting a two-step dry pressing-pressureless sintering method, it can ensure that the raw material powder is evenly distributed during the mixing, molding and sintering processes, avoiding component segregation; through the high-temperature diffusion effect of pressureless sintering, ytterbium (Yb), scandium (Sc) and silicon (Si) elements can fully react to form a uniform solid solution structure, ensuring the stability of material performance; dry pressing molding can prepare ceramic block materials with complex shapes through mold design to meet the needs of different application scenarios; no external pressure is required during the pressureless sintering process, avoiding material deformation or cracking problems caused by uneven pressure distribution; this method has a simple process, and the prepared ceramic material has high purity, good high-temperature phase stability and excellent resistance to water and oxygen corrosion.
