Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of preparation of ceramic materials and luminescence technology, and particularly relates to a core-shell structure YTaO4: Er 3+ / Yb 3+ @8YSZ: Er 3+ / Yb 3+ Thermal barrier coating fluorescent temperature probe and preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Temperature sensing technology transforms thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) from passive thermal insulation components to "smart" sensing layers that can actively report their health status. During engine operation, TBC failure can lead to overheating and melting of the underlying metal substrate. This failure is often caused by excessive growth of the thermally grown oxide (TGO) layer, sintering, or spallation of the ceramic layer, which are closely related to temperature and time. Therefore, real-time monitoring of the internal temperature of the thermal section component is crucial for evaluating coating integrity and predicting failure. Real-time temperature sensing can detect local overheating early and provide a direct assessment of the severity of the service conditions, thereby helping to prevent catastrophic damage.
[0003] Rare earth tantalate (RETaO4) is an important potential category of TBC materials, with characteristics such as chemical stability, low thermal conductivity, excellent oxidation resistance, and higher TEC, among which YTaO4 has great research value. YTaO4 has the advantage of good ferroelasticity, which is beneficial to improve the toughness of TBCs. The Young's modulus of the polycrystalline YTaO4 ceramic material exhibits strong anisotropy. YTaO4 ceramic has better thermal stability and thermal insulation than current TBC materials.
[0004] 8YSZ has a relatively high coefficient of thermal expansion, which is more close to the nickel-based superalloy substrate. This can significantly reduce the large interfacial stress generated by the difference in thermal expansion and contraction during heating and cooling, and fundamentally improve the bonding strength and thermal fatigue life of the coating. And 8YSZ realizes perfect fusion with the current two major preparation technologies, atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) and electron beam physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD).
[0005] YTaO4: Er 3+ / Yb 3+ @8YSZ: Er 3+ / Yb 3+ As a core-shell structure, it combines the advantages of two TBCs, YTaO4: Er 3+ / Yb 3+ 8YSZ: Er 3+ / Yb 3+As a shell, it can be tightly integrated with the substrate while protecting the internal core material, enabling it to emit light stably.
[0006] In this patent, a core-shell structured YTaO4:Er was prepared using the sol-gel method and the hydrothermal method. 3+ / Yb 3+ @8YSZ: Er 3+ / Yb 3+ Fluorescent temperature probe with thermal barrier coating. Results show that YTaO4:Er was successfully prepared. 3+ / Yb 3+ @8YSZ:Er 3+ / Yb 3+ The core-shell material emits green light at a wavelength of 556 nm when excited at 980 nm, and has high temperature sensitivity at 300 K, which can be better applied to thermal barrier coatings to monitor the service temperature of thermal barrier coatings in real time.
