Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of materials surface engineering technology, and more specifically, to a wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant thermal barrier composite coating and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of modern industry towards high temperature, high speed, and high load, the service environment of key hot-end components (such as aero-engine turbine blades, gas turbine blades, and high-temperature valves) is becoming increasingly harsh. These components are not only exposed to high-temperature oxidizing and hot corrosive atmospheres for extended periods, but also frequently endure severe mechanical wear, solid particle erosion, and frequent thermal cycling. Their base materials are mostly high-temperature alloys, but even the most advanced nickel-based or cobalt-based high-temperature alloys are approaching their service limits in terms of melting point, high-temperature strength, and corrosion resistance, making it difficult to meet the higher performance and lifespan requirements of next-generation equipment.

[0003] To protect these expensive core components, surface protection technologies, especially thermal barrier coatings, have become indispensable. However, poor coating performance is a common problem at present.

[0004] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this disclosure is to provide a wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant thermal barrier composite coating and its preparation method, thereby overcoming, at least to some extent, the problem of poor coating performance.

[0006] According to a first aspect of this disclosure, a wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant thermal barrier composite coating is provided, comprising: a wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant layer formed on the surface of a substrate, wherein the material of the wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant layer is one or more selected from WC-6Co, WC-12Co, WC-17Co, WC-10Co-4Cr, WC-9Co-5Cr-1Ni, WC-10Ni-5Cr, and WC-20Cr3C2-7Ni; and a thermal barrier layer formed on the surface of the wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant layer, wherein the material of the thermal barrier layer is one or more selected from YSZ, La2Zr2O7, Gd2Zr2O7, Sc2O3-Y2O3-ZrO2, La2Hf2O7, Yb2SiO5, Y2SiO5, YNbO4, and GdTaO4.

[0007] Optionally, the matrix is ​​a titanium alloy, a nickel-based high-temperature alloy, a cobalt-based high-temperature alloy, or an iron-based heat-resistant alloy.

[0008] According to a second aspect of this disclosure, a method for preparing a wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant thermal barrier composite coating is provided, comprising: coating a wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant layer on the surface of a substrate by supersonic flame spraying, wherein the material of the wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant layer is one or more of WC-6Co, WC-12Co, WC-17Co, WC-10Co-4Cr, WC-9Co-5Cr-1Ni, WC-10Ni-5Cr, and WC-20Cr3C2-7Ni; and coating a thermal barrier layer on the surface of the wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant layer by plasma spraying, wherein the material of the thermal barrier layer is one or more of YSZ, La2Zr2O7, Gd2Zr2O7, Sc2O3-Y2O3-ZrO2, La2Hf2O7, Yb2SiO5, Y2SiO5, YNbO4, and GdTaO4.

[0009] Optionally, during the supersonic flame spraying process, the fuel flow rate is 20~30L / h, the oxygen flow rate is 700~900L / min, the carrier gas flow rate is 5~10L / min, and the powder feeding rate is 70~100g / min.

[0010] Optionally, during supersonic flame spraying, the spraying distance is 30~50cm.

[0011] Optionally, during plasma spraying, the spraying power is 40~60kW, the main gas flow rate is 40~150L / min, and the powder feeding rate is 20~50g / min.

[0012] Optionally, during plasma spraying, the spraying distance is 8~20cm.

[0013] Optionally, before applying the wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant layer to the surface of the substrate using supersonic flame spraying, the preparation method further includes: sequentially cleaning, drying, and roughening the substrate.

[0014] Optionally, a roughening process is performed to control the surface roughness of the substrate to be greater than or equal to 3.2 μm and less than or equal to 6.3 μm.

[0015] Optionally, the matrix is ​​a titanium alloy, a nickel-based high-temperature alloy, a cobalt-based high-temperature alloy, or an iron-based heat-resistant alloy.

[0016] In the exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, WC (tungsten carbide)-based cermet is used as the wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant underlayer to replace the traditional MCrAlY bonding layer, and combined with a multi-element thermal barrier ceramic top layer. A robust and integrated synergistic protection system is constructed using a combination of supersonic flame spraying and plasma spraying technologies. On one hand, this system not only significantly improves the coating's wear resistance, erosion resistance, and corrosion resistance through the high hardness and toughness of the wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant layer, but also effectively blocks high-temperature attack thanks to the excellent thermal insulation and phase stability of the top layer material. On the other hand, the extremely high interfacial bonding strength and dense structure provided by the supersonic flame spraying technology, along with the thermal expansion gradient design between the two layers, jointly ensure the coating's excellent thermal shock fatigue resistance under thermo-mechanical coupling loads. This systematically solves the key problem of traditional thermal barrier coatings having limited protective functions and being prone to early failure under extreme and complex working conditions, significantly extending the service life of core hot-end components. Furthermore, the spraying scheme adopted in this disclosure is stable and reliable, requiring no complex equipment modification or special material pretreatment, and is easy to industrialize. Meanwhile, by adjusting the process parameters, it can be adapted to a variety of substrate materials, with strong coating compatibility. It does not require complex substrate pretreatment, can cover the protection needs of more industrial fields, and has high market application value.

[0017] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and are not intended to limit this disclosure. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and form part of this specification, illustrate embodiments consistent with this disclosure and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of this disclosure. It is obvious that the drawings described below are merely some embodiments of this disclosure, and those skilled in the art can obtain other drawings based on these drawings without any inventive effort.

[0019] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of the wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant thermal barrier composite coating according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0020] Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating the preparation method of the wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant thermal barrier composite coating according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0021] Figure 3 The microstructure of the wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant thermal barrier composite coating of Embodiment 1 of this disclosure is shown. Detailed Implementation

[0022] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided to make this disclosure more comprehensive and complete, and to fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. The described features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to give a full understanding of embodiments of this disclosure. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that the technical solutions of this disclosure can be practiced with one or more of these specific details omitted, or other methods, processes, steps, etc., can be employed. In other instances, well-known technical solutions are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring various aspects of this disclosure.

[0023] Furthermore, the accompanying drawings are merely illustrative of this disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar parts, and therefore repeated descriptions of them will be omitted. The flowcharts shown in the drawings are merely exemplary illustrations and do not necessarily include all steps. For example, some steps may be broken down, while others may be combined or partially combined; therefore, the actual order of execution may change depending on the specific circumstances.

[0024] In some solutions, the thermal barrier coating system adopts a two-layer structure of "metal bonding layer (such as MCrAlY, M=Ni, Co, etc.) + ceramic surface layer (such as YSZ coating)". However, when dealing with complex working conditions where there is both severe mechanical wear and high-temperature corrosion, the YSZ ceramic layer is brittle and has poor toughness, making it prone to cracking and rapid peeling, leading to failure of the thermal insulation function. The MCrAlY layer cannot provide effective wear-resistant protection and will quickly wear down, resulting in damage to the substrate.

[0025] This disclosure provides a composite coating with high wear resistance, erosion resistance and excellent thermal barrier properties, and a method for preparing the same, to solve some technical problems of insufficient wear resistance and erosion resistance caused by the high brittleness of the ceramic layer and the softness of the adhesive layer in some thermal barrier coating systems, as well as their tendency to fail prematurely under mechanical-thermal coupling loads.

The thermal barrier layer is made of one or more of YSZ, La2Zr2O7, Gd2Zr2O7, Sc2O3-Y2O3-ZrO2, La2Hf2O7, Yb2SiO5, Y2SiO5, YNbO4, and GdTaO4.

[0027] This wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant thermal barrier composite coating can be applied to various hot-end components, such as aero-engine turbine blades, gas turbine blades, and high-temperature valves. Correspondingly, the substrate can be titanium alloy, nickel-based high-temperature alloy, cobalt-based high-temperature alloy, or iron-based heat-resistant alloy, and this disclosure does not impose any restrictions on it.
