TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of ceramic-based coating, and particularly relates to a self-healing LaMgAl 11 O 19 high-temperature abradable sealing coating and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] High thrust-to-weight ratio, high efficiency and low fuel consumption have become the key targets of advanced aero-engine design and manufacturing, and the tip clearance between the turbine rotor blade and the turbine outer ring is an important factor affecting the performance of the engine. Excessive clearance will cause high-temperature gas leakage at the tip, directly causing energy loss and efficiency decay. While too small clearance may cause severe friction or even collision between the high-speed rotating blade and the turbine outer ring due to the blade elongation deformation and component vibration displacement caused by the machining tolerance, assembly deviation, and thermal expansion, etc. during engine manufacturing and operation, forming a serious safety hazard.
[0003] To alleviate the blade scuffing damage, a high-temperature resistant ceramic-based abradable sealing coating (ASC) is usually prepared on the inner wall surface of the turbine outer ring, which can realize tip clearance control through the active sacrifice and preferential wear of the coating, reducing gas leakage and improving engine efficiency, which requires the ASC to have a lower hardness. Based on the research foundation of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs), the porous yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) coating prepared by atmospheric plasma spray (APS) is widely used in the field of ceramic-based ASCs below 1200 ℃ due to its high fracture toughness, low thermal conductivity and low elastic modulus. With the continuous increase of the working temperature of the turbine outer ring, high-temperature abradable materials suitable for 1300 ℃ and above have become the current research hotspot.
[0004] To reduce the hardness of ASCs (Abrasive Stainless Steel), polystyrene is typically used as a pore-forming phase, combined with a low-energy spraying process to create a porous, easily wearable structure. For example, Chinese invention patent CN108950454A discloses a high-temperature ceramic-based wearable sealing coating structure and its preparation method. The coating structure includes a NiCoCrAlTaY high-temperature anti-oxidation material bottom layer sequentially stacked on the surface of a high-temperature alloy turbine outer ring component substrate, and a top layer composed of a mixture of three materials: Sc2O3 and Y2O3 binary rare earth oxide co-doped ZrO2 material, CaF2 material, and polystyrene material. In the top layer material, polystyrene serves as the pore-forming material, and CaF2 is a high-temperature friction-reducing self-lubricating ceramic material. This high-temperature ceramic-based wearable sealing coating can be applied to the sealing of high-pressure turbine gas passages in aero-engines and ground-based gas turbines, with an operating temperature reaching 1300 ℃, meeting the requirements for sealing high-pressure turbine gas passages in advanced aero-engines and ground-based gas turbines. For example, Chinese invention patent CN116732460A provides a method for Hf6Ta2O. 17 A wear-resistant sealing coating and its preparation method are disclosed. The coating comprises a nickel-based high-temperature alloy substrate, a transition layer, and a ceramic layer stacked together. It features high service temperature, resistance to cracking and peeling, simple preparation process, low wear, and good thermal shock resistance.
[0005] However, these measures introduce several serious problems to coating strength: the difficulty in uniformly dispersing the porous phase of polyphenylene oxide leads to the formation of interconnected pore networks within the coating; ceramic coatings prepared by the APS process typically contain amorphous phases, and the volume shrinkage accompanying recrystallization at high temperatures can cause crack formation, thereby exacerbating structural degradation; low-energy spraying results in insufficient flattening of molten droplet particles, and the presence of a large number of unmelted particles further weakens the coating strength. These defects not only cause early coating failure but also increase the risk of coating chipping and detachment during scraping due to the inherent brittleness of ceramic materials. Therefore, achieving an effective balance between hardness and strength has become a key challenge for high-temperature ceramic-based ASCs. Summary of the Invention

[0022] Preferably, in step (4), the heat treatment process is as follows: the temperature is increased from room temperature to 500-600 ℃ at a rate of 5-10 ℃ / min and held for 1-3 h to remove the pore-forming phase in the coating and form the target porous structure; then the temperature is increased to 1000-1200 ℃ at a rate of 3-5 ℃ / min and held for 5-10 h, with the heat treatment atmosphere being air, thereby achieving self-healing of the coating.
[0023] The segmented heat treatment process described above can effectively improve the uniformity of the coating pore structure and the integrity of crack repair.
[0024] Based on the above technical solutions, the design concept and principle of this invention are as follows: The LaMgAl used in this invention 11 O 19 As a ceramic matrix phase, it exhibits excellent thermal stability up to 1600 °C, and its dense coating has a thermal conductivity as low as 1.5~1.9 W / m·K. The porous design of this invention further reduces the thermal conductivity, thereby providing effective thermal insulation protection for the matrix. LaMgAl 11 O 19 The unique lamellar crystal structure reduces heat conduction through interlayer phonon scattering, while simultaneously endowing the coating with excellent anti-sintering ability and thermal shock resistance. The self-healing phase design utilizes MAX phase materials that exhibit oxidation-induced crack healing capabilities at high temperatures. This invention selects Ti3AlC2 or Ti2AlC as the self-healing phase for the ceramic-based wearable sealing coating. In a high-temperature environment, the self-healing phase Ti3AlC2 or Ti2AlC oxidizes to generate TiO2 and Al2O3. Accompanied by a 50%–60% volume expansion, under compressive stress, it promotes crack closure, thereby achieving damage self-repair. Furthermore, on one hand, the self-healing phase not only endows the coating with self-healing function; on the other hand, among the formed oxidation products, Al2O3 has good airtightness, effectively blocking oxygen penetration, while TiO2 acts as a sintering aid, designed to enter LaMgAl through solid solution. 11 O 19 The formation of cation vacancy defects in the crystal lattice significantly enhances the ion diffusion rate within the lattice and effectively reduces the LaMgAl content. 11 O 19Sintering activation energy. This process promotes grain growth and bonding between unmelted particles, driving the transformation of interconnected pores within the coating into a closed-pore structure, thereby improving coating strength. The pore-forming phase uses materials that are easily decomposed and volatilized at high temperatures, and whose decomposition products do not negatively affect coating performance, such as polystyrene, starch, and spherical graphite. When the ceramic matrix phase, self-healing phase, and pore-forming phase are combined in the above proportions, an effective balance between coating hardness and strength is achieved. Self-healing can be achieved simply by heat treatment at high temperatures, resulting in a simple post-processing capability and excellent overall performance.
[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects: This invention provides a self-healing LaMgAl 11 O 19 High-temperature abrasion-resistant sealing coating, with LaMgAl 11 O 19 As a ceramic matrix phase, Ti3AlC2 or Ti2AlC acts as a self-healing phase. The volume expansion accompanying the oxidation process of Ti3AlC2 or Ti2AlC repairs cracks, and its oxidation products promote the sintering process, thereby eliminating unmelted particles and promoting the transformation of interconnected pores into closed-pore structures, thus playing a dual role. This coating balances the hardness and strength of high-temperature ceramic matrix ASCs and has good application prospects.
