Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of ceramic powder materials, and particularly relates to a multi-stage structure sustained dispersion evaporation medium-entropy ceramic powder material and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are one of the key core technologies of aero-engine turbine blades, which can significantly improve the engine operating temperature and enhance the engine thrust and working efficiency.

[0003] The widely used thermal barrier coating material is yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ). YSZ has good thermal insulation performance and mechanical properties, and is an excellent choice as a thermal barrier coating material. However, with the development of technology, the service temperature of the aero-engine gradually increases, causing the blade and its surface TBCs to suffer severe sand and dust corrosion. These sand and dust will deposit on the engine blades and, after melting, penetrate into the coating along the cracks and pores in the coating, causing the coating to delaminate and eventually fail.

[0004] The addition of rare earth elements can effectively improve the high-temperature molten sand and dust corrosion resistance of ceramic materials, which is specifically manifested by the formation of a dense reaction layer, thereby preventing further penetration of high-temperature sand and dust melts. However, different rare earth elements have different contributions in terms of reaction speed and thickness of the dense layer when forming a dense reaction layer due to differences in atomic radius. For example, small ionic radius rare earth elements can quickly form a large amount of dense reaction layer due to their fast diffusion speed, which can quickly block the penetration, but will cause a large amount of coating material loss. Large ionic radius rare earth elements have slow diffusion speed, resulting in slow formation of dense reaction layer, and the sand and dust melts will penetrate severely.

[0005] As a new type of thermal barrier coating preparation technology, plasma physical vapor deposition (PS-PVD) has high input power and low operating pressure, which can control the melting and vaporization degree of the powder material, thereby obtaining various coating structures. However, to achieve powder vaporization, the structure of the powder needs to be specially designed. The existing multi-stage structure powder design can ensure that the powder meets the powder feeding conditions and can be broken down into smaller particles after entering the jet, thereby being more effectively melted and evaporated. However, the particles will concentrate in the same area of the jet after breaking down, causing the local temperature of the jet to decrease, thereby causing uneven melting and evaporation of the powder. SUMMARY

[0006] In order to overcome the problems of insufficient single rare earth element and difficulty in existing powder structure evaporation, the present application aims to provide a multi-level structure continuous dispersion evaporation medium entropy ceramic powder material and a preparation method and application thereof, so as to solve the problems of poor high-temperature molten sand dust corrosion resistance of existing materials and poor coating performance caused by uneven powder evaporation.

[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] The present application provides a multi-level structure continuous dispersion evaporation medium entropy ceramic powder material, the chemical general formula of the medium entropy ceramic powder material is: (Y x Yb y Gd z La r )2Zr2O7, wherein at least two of x, y, z and r are greater than 0, and x+y+z+r=1; the medium entropy ceramic powder material has a pyrochlore structure crystal.

[0009] The present application also provides a preparation method of the above-mentioned multi-level structure continuous dispersion evaporation medium entropy ceramic powder material, comprising the following steps:

[0010] 1) The raw materials are weighed according to the stoichiometric ratio of the corresponding elements in the chemical general formula of the medium entropy ceramic powder material, and after ball milling and mixing, a mixed raw material is formed; the raw materials include ZrO2 powder and at least two of Y2O3, Yb2O3, Gd2O3 and La2O3;

[0011] 2) After low-temperature drying of the mixed raw material, a mixed powder is obtained;

[0012] 3) The mixed powder is subjected to high-temperature solid phase reaction in an inert atmosphere to obtain a powder material;

[0013] 4) The powder material is cooled, crushed and sieved to obtain a first-level structure particle with a particle size of 0.2-1 mu m;

[0014] 5) The first-level structure particle is bonded by phenolic resin to form a second-level structure agglomerated particle with a particle size of 1-5 mu m, and the addition amount of phenolic resin is 8-12% of the mass of dry phenolic resin powder relative to the mass of the first-level structure particle to be bonded;

[0015] 6) The first-level structure particle and the second-level structure agglomerated particle are bonded by modified epoxy resin to form a third-level structure agglomerated particle with a particle size of 5-25 mu m, and the medium entropy ceramic powder material is prepared; the addition amount of epoxy resin is 12-18% of the mass of dry epoxy resin powder relative to the total mass of the first-level structure particle and the second-level structure agglomerated particle to be bonded; the mass fraction of the first-level structure particle in the third-level structure agglomerated particle is 10-30%.

[0016] Preferably, in step 4), the particle size of the primary structure particles is 0.2 μm-1 μm; in step 5), the particle size of the secondary structure agglomerated particles is 1 μm-5 μm; in step 6), the particle size of the tertiary structure agglomerated particles is 5 μm-25 μm.

[0017] Preferably, in step 1), 1%-2% of anhydrous ethanol is added in the ball milling process.

[0018] Preferably, in step 2), the low-temperature drying temperature is 40-60℃.

[0019] In step 3), the inert atmosphere is argon, and the argon flow rate is 200-500 mL / min.

[0020] Preferably, the high-temperature solid-phase reaction conditions include: the reaction temperature is 1400-1600℃, and the reaction time is 6-8 hours.

[0021] Preferably, in step 5), the gasification temperature is 200-250℃; the inlet air temperature is 150-180℃, and the outlet air temperature is 80-90℃.

[0022] Preferably, in step 6), the gasification temperature is 150-200℃; the inlet air temperature is 150-180℃, and the outlet air temperature is 65-100℃.

[0023] The application also provides the application of the above-mentioned multi-level structure continuous dispersion evaporation medium-entropy ceramic powder material in the field of thermal barrier coating materials.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the application has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] The application provides a multi-level structure continuous dispersion evaporation medium-entropy ceramic powder material. A medium-entropy solid solution formed by multiple rare earth elements (Y, Yb, Gd, La) reduces the atomic diffusion rate, and due to the use of the configuration entropy effect of multiple rare earth cations, the lattice thermal conductivity is significantly reduced, the phase stability is improved, and the coexistence of multiple rare earth elements can reduce the preferential evaporation tendency of a single element, so that the evaporation process is more uniform. The pyrochlore structure provides a stable crystal framework, reduces composition segregation at high temperatures, and improves evaporation consistency. The medium-entropy effect enhances lattice distortion, hinders the penetration of corrosive media (such as CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 dust), and promotes the formation of a dense oxide layer to block the corrosion reaction.

[0026] The pyrochlore structure of the medium-entropy ceramic powder material realizes evaporation uniformity in two ways: (1) element synergy inhibits preferential evaporation: a single rare earth pyrochlore (such as Y2Zr2O7) will preferentially evaporate Y at high temperatures, and the coexistence of multiple rare earth elements can inhibit the preferential evaporation of a single element. 3+The small ion radius and low binding energy preferentially evaporate, leading to composition deviation. When multiple rare earth elements coexist (such as Y / Yb / Gd / La), different ion radii and binding energies form energy potential wells in the lattice, and higher energy is required to break free from the lattice binding, which overall slows down the evaporation rate and reduces the selective escape of single elements; (2) Configuration entropy increases the diffusion energy barrier: the disordered arrangement of multiple rare earth elements at the A site of the crystallographic position, i.e. the configuration entropy effect, significantly increases the atomic diffusion activation energy, changing the "sudden concentrated escape" of evaporation into "gradual discrete release" (i.e. "continuous discrete evaporation"). Through the above two points, the technical problem of uneven powder evaporation in existing thermal barrier coating materials, which affects the uniformity of the coating, is solved.

[0027] In addition, the multi-level structure continuous discrete evaporation of the entropy ceramic powder material of the present application also solves the technical problem of sand and dust corrosion through chemical activity regulation, specifically including the following two points: (1) Active interception of molten sand and dust: Yb 3 + / Gd 3 Preferentially reacts with SiO2 in sand and dust to generate high-melting-point apatite phase, blocking the corrosion channel; La 3+ Generates perovskite phase with Al2O3, enhancing the permeability resistance. (2) Synergistic passivation effect: The coexistence of multiple elements forms a gradient reaction layer composed of multiple high-melting-point compounds at the corrosion interface, making the entropy ceramic powder material have a wider temperature stability interval, effectively resisting capillary penetration of molten sand and dust.

[0028] The present application also provides a preparation method of the above-mentioned multi-level structure continuous discrete evaporation of the entropy ceramic powder material, which realizes gradient regulation of the evaporation rate through "primary crushing → secondary phenolic bonding → tertiary epoxy bonding" of the three-level structure: the high specific surface of the primary particles provides initial evaporation active sites; during the preparation of the secondary structure particles, the phenolic resin is carbonized and decomposed to form a nanoscale pore network, allowing the primary particles to "discretely escape" through the pores, avoiding concentrated evaporation; during the preparation of the tertiary structure particles, the epoxy resin is decomposed and leaves a rigid skeleton, delaying the disintegration of the secondary particles and realizing continuous evaporation. In the three-level structure, the proportion of primary particles is 10%-30%, which is the optimal evaporation window verified by experiments; if > 30%, the evaporation is too fast and the coating is prone to form pores; if < 10%, the evaporation is discontinuous and the coating density decreases.

[0029] Further, the primary structure particles have high specific surface area, providing a fast evaporation starting power, making the evaporation continuous; the secondary structure particles act as a transition buffer layer, delaying the concentrated evaporation of the primary particles; the tertiary structure particles act as a skeleton to slow down the overall evaporation rate, ensuring a long-term, stable and uniform evaporation process, realizing continuous and discrete evaporation, and also ensuring the flowability of the powder during powder feeding. At the same time, the large size of the tertiary structure particles can effectively resist sand and dust impact. The tertiary structure particles formed by the agglomeration of primary and secondary structure particles can ensure that the meso-entropy ceramic powder continuously and discretely evaporates in each region of the spraying jet, avoiding concentrated evaporation at a certain position, which causes local temperature to be too low.

[0030] Further, 1% to 2% of anhydrous ethanol by mass percentage is added in the ball milling process to further improve the mixing uniformity and control the particle morphology, which can improve the material density and erosion resistance.

[0031] Further, low-temperature drying at 40-60℃ avoids the agglomeration of nano-powder, ensuring the uniformity of the composition.

[0032] Further, argon protection prevents the high-temperature oxidation or volatilization loss of rare earth oxides, ensuring the long-term phase stability of the material in a high-temperature environment.

[0033] Further, high-temperature solid-phase reaction at 1400-1600℃ for 6-8h precisely controls the formation of pyrochlore phase, avoiding the generation of impurities.

[0034] Further, the gasification temperature of 200-250℃ is the forming window of the viscous flow state of phenolic resin. Below 200℃, the resin is not fully softened, and the particles are not firmly bonded; above 250℃, the resin is excessively carbonized, losing the bonding ability. Within this temperature range, the resin partially decomposes to form mesoporous structures, reserving channels for the evaporation of primary particles. The inlet temperature of 150-180℃ allows the gradient evaporation of water, preserving the integrity of the particles. An outlet temperature of 80-90℃ allows the resin to semi-cure and set, and the particles to flow freely. An outlet temperature of <80℃ causes the particles to stick together, and an outlet temperature of >90℃ causes the particles to glass transition, leading to pore collapse.

[0035] Further, the gasification temperature of 150-200℃ is the activation window of the modified epoxy resin and the hydrolysis-condensation reaction temperature of the silane coupling agent, which helps to generate active sites resistant to sand and dust corrosion. A temperature of <150℃ results in incomplete reaction, and a temperature of >200℃ causes the epoxy resin to open and self-polymerize. An inlet temperature of 150-180℃ allows the solvent to be completely removed, and an outlet temperature of 65-80℃ maintains the elasticity of the particles. A temperature of <65℃ causes the particles to stick to the wall, and a temperature of >80℃ increases the cross-linking degree of the epoxy resin, causing the particles to become brittle.

[0036] The present invention also provides applications for the aforementioned medium-entropy ceramic powder material in thermal barrier coatings. The multi-stage particles evaporate sequentially and discretely during thermal spraying, reducing droplet splashing, forming a dense, crack-free coating, and improving coating uniformity. Rare earth elements such as Gd and Yb effectively react with molten sand dust to form high-melting-point products, preventing corrosion penetration. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0083] The obtained (La 1 / 4 Y 1 / 4 Gd 1 / 4 Yb 1 / 4 )2Zr2O7 medium entropy ceramic powder's primary structure particles are prepared into ceramic blocks by hot isostatic pressing. The sintering temperature is set to 1550°C, the holding time is 20 hours, the pressure is 150MPa, and argon protection is used to ensure the high-temperature stability and density of the material. The surface of the obtained ceramic block is ground and polished, and the sand dust powder is mixed with an appropriate amount of anhydrous ethanol in a volume ratio of 1:2, and deposited on the polished surface of the ceramic block. After drying, the block is placed in a high-temperature furnace for a molten sand dust corrosion experiment. The high-temperature furnace is heated at a heating rate of 10°C / min below 1000°C and at a heating rate of 5°C / min at 1200°C. After constant temperature insulation, the cooling rate above 1000°C is 5°C / min, and then the power is turned off and the furnace is cooled. By Figure 7It can be seen that after the molten sand dust corrosion for 20 hours at 1300℃, the corrosion depth is only 5 microns, which shows excellent resistance to molten sand dust corrosion. During the molten sand dust corrosion process, a dense (Y-Yb-Gd) Si2O7 silicate protective layer can be formed on the surface of the sample, effectively blocking the further penetration of the sand dust and significantly improving the sand dust corrosion resistance of the material.
