Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an anti-oxidation composite coating for niobium alloy surfaces, its preparation method, and its application, particularly to a coating for improving the anti-oxidation properties of niobium alloy surfaces, its preparation method, and its application, belonging to the field of coating and its preparation technology. Background Technology

[0002] Niobium alloys are promising high-temperature structural materials for aerospace applications due to their high melting point, good high-temperature strength, and machinability. However, niobium alloys suffer from catastrophic nitrogen embrittlement and severe oxidation in high-temperature (especially above 800°C) oxygen-containing environments, which severely limits their application in actual service environments.

[0003] To address this issue, a protective coating is typically applied to the niobium alloy surface. While common coating systems such as silicide coatings (e.g., NbSi2) offer some oxidation resistance, the difference in thermal expansion coefficients between the coating and the niobium alloy substrate leads to stress generation during thermal cycling, causing the coating to crack and peel off. Furthermore, at high temperatures, coating elements can interdiffuse with substrate elements, potentially causing substrate degradation or coating failure.

[0004] Furthermore, traditional silicide coatings primarily address oxidation resistance, but their thermal insulation capabilities are insufficient for the thermal barrier performance requirements of next-generation high thrust-to-weight ratio engines. Therefore, developing a multilayer composite coating that can firmly bond with the niobium alloy substrate, effectively prevent high-temperature oxidation, and possess significant thermal insulation properties is crucial for promoting the application of niobium alloys in ultra-high temperature environments. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Purpose of the invention: In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a niobium alloy surface anti-oxidation composite coating with long-lasting anti-oxidation properties, good thermal shock resistance, good heat insulation effect, and strong adhesion.

[0006] Another objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing an anti-oxidation composite coating on a niobium alloy surface.

[0007] Another objective of this invention is to provide an application of an anti-oxidation composite coating on the surface of a niobium alloy. Technical solution

[0008] The present invention discloses an anti-oxidation composite coating for niobium alloy surface, comprising a Cr-Si transition layer, an Al-B-Y2O3 modified MoSi2 anti-oxidation layer, and a YSZ heat insulation layer. The modified MoSi2 anti-oxidation layer and the YSZ heat insulation layer are sequentially disposed on the surface of the Cr-Si transition layer. In the Cr-Si transition layer, the Si element increases in a gradient from the YSZ heat insulation layer to the modified MoSi2 anti-oxidation layer.

[0009] Furthermore, the thickness of the Cr-Si transition layer is 15-29 μm, the thickness of the modified MoSi2 antioxidant layer is 50-70 μm, and the thickness of the YSZ thermal insulation layer is 100-130 μm.

[0010] Furthermore, in the Cr-Si transition layer, the mass percentage of Nb is 75-80 wt%, the mass percentage of Cr is 10-15 wt%, and the balance is Si. The silicide diffusion layer formed by silicon infiltration on the surface of the niobium alloy substrate has a main phase composition of (Nb,X)Si2 (where X is an alloying element in the niobium alloy (C-103 niobium alloy is selected), such as Zr, Hf, Ti, etc.). This layer forms a metallurgical bond with the substrate through interdiffusion, exhibiting a gradient change in composition and a smooth transition in the coefficient of thermal expansion, greatly improving the adhesion between the coating and the substrate and alleviating thermal stress.

[0011] Furthermore, an Al-B-Y2O3 modified MoSi2 anti-oxidation layer is sprayed onto the Cr-Si transition layer. In this layer, silicon can form a dense SiO2 glass film at high temperatures, providing the main anti-oxidation capability. Al can preferentially oxidize over Si at high temperatures, forming a highly stable α-Al2O3 film. Moreover, Al2O3 and SiO2 can be mutually soluble to form a denser aluminosilicate glass with a lower oxygen diffusion rate, significantly improving the resistance to high-temperature oxidation. The oxidation product of B, B2O3, is liquid at 600-900°C, which can flow very quickly and heal microcracks in the coating in this temperature range, thereby suppressing the "Pesting" phenomenon. Rare earth element Y, as an "active element," can be enriched at the interface between SiO2 and the coating, significantly improving the adhesion of the oxide film and preventing it from peeling off during thermal cycling.

[0012] Furthermore, when spraying the modified MoSi2 antioxidant layer, the powder used is a core-shell composite powder. The core consists of Al powder (Al powder radius 4-8μm) and B4C powder (B4C powder radius 1-3μm). The Al powder and B4C powder are ball-milled (ball-to-powder ratio 10:1, ball milling speed 250-300rpm, ball milling time 5h) to form (Al-B4C) composite particles with a size of 5-15μm. The middle shell layer is formed by the sol-gel method (the mass of the Y2O3 shell layer accounts for 1.5-3.0wt.% of the composite core powder mass). Specifically, yttrium nitrate hexahydrate (Y(NO3)3·6H2O) is used as the precursor, and a mixed solvent of anhydrous ethanol (C2H5OH) and deionized water (volume ratio 4:1) is used as the solvent. Each treatment involves 50-100 [units of material]. (Al-B4C) composite powder, with a liquid-to-solid ratio (liquid volume mL: powder mass g) of 5:1 to 10:1. The ball-to-powder ratio is 10:1, the ball milling speed is 250-300 rpm, and the milling time is 5 hours. Deposition is guided by rotary evaporation for 1.5-3 hours at 40-50℃, followed by 2-3 hours of vacuum drying at at least 60℃. A layer of Y2O3 sol precursor is uniformly coated onto the (Al-B4C) core surface. After heat treatment (heating at 1-3℃ / min to 600-650℃, holding in argon for 1-3 hours, and then cooling with the furnace), a nanocrystalline Y2O3 shell is formed. The outermost shell layer is then deposited using chemical vapor deposition on the surface of the Y2O3-coated particles, forming the final complete core-shell spherical powder (particle size range 20-40 μm). In conventional mechanically mixed powders, low-melting-point Al and B4C evaporate or oxidize prematurely in plasma flames, leading to severe loss of effective components and a significant deviation between the actual and designed coating composition. However, in the core-shell structure of this invention, the MoSi2 outer shell melts first during spraying, becoming a protective carrier, encapsulating the internal (Al-B4C) core and Y2O3 intermediate layer, greatly reducing burn-off. Upon impact with the substrate, the outer shell breaks, releasing the core material and achieving in-situ synthesis and deposition. This ensures a high degree of precision and uniformity in the coating composition.

[0013] Furthermore, in the Al-B-Y2O3 modified MoSi2 antioxidant layer, the mass fraction of Al is 3-8 wt%, the mass fraction of B is 1-3 wt%, the mass fraction of Y2O3 is 0.5-2 wt%, and the balance is MoSi2.

[0014] In MoSi2, the mass percentage of Si is 25-30 wt%, the mass percentage of O is less than 1 wt%, and the balance is Mo.

[0015] Furthermore, the YSZ thermal insulation layer and the Al-B-Y2O3 modified MoSi2 antioxidant layer work synergistically to achieve a transition in composition, avoiding stress caused by different compositions and increasing the bonding force between the coatings. The Y2O3 layer is a typical thermal barrier coating ceramic layer with low thermal conductivity, which can effectively isolate heat from being transferred to the substrate.

[0016] The preparation method of the above-mentioned anti-oxidation composite coating on the surface of niobium alloy includes the following steps: Step 1: Pre-treat the substrate surface; Step 2: Prepare a Cr-Si transition layer on the substrate surface using a dual-glow plasma surface metallization method; Step 3: Prepare core-shell structured composite powder.

[0017] Step 4: The above-mentioned core-shell structure composite powder (i.e., MoSi2-Al-B4C-Y2O3 spherical core-shell structure composite powder) is sprayed using plasma spraying to prepare an Al-B-Y2O3 modified MoSi2 antioxidant layer on the surface of the Cr-Si transition layer. Step 5: Apply a YSZ heat insulation layer to the surface of the Al-B-Y2O3 modified MoSi2 antioxidant layer using plasma spraying.

[0018] Furthermore, in step one, the pretreatment involves sanding and polishing the substrate with sandpaper, followed by ultrasonic cleaning with ethanol and deionized water to remove grease and particulate contaminants.

[0019] Further, in step two, the process parameters of the double glow plasma surface metal infiltration method are: vacuum degree of 0.1-0.2 Pa, argon gas is introduced and kept at 35-40 Pa, workpiece cathode voltage of 500-600 V, source voltage of 1000-1100 V, temperature of 900-1000 ℃, and holding time of 2-3 h. Advantages of double glow plasma metal infiltration technology for preparing niobium alloy-Si gradient diffusion layer coating: (1) Fast diffusion rate. Due to the continuous bombardment of the workpiece by ions, the workpiece atoms are sputtered out, generating high-density dislocations and vacancies, forming diffusion channels for alloy elements, reducing diffusion activation energy, and accelerating the diffusion rate. (2) Achieve deep diffusion of Si elements, realize composition gradient distribution, and avoid interface abrupt changes. (3) Controllable coating thickness. The coating thickness can be controlled by adjusting voltage, current, gas pressure and holding time. (4) Utilize the plasma penetration effect to achieve metallurgical bonding between the coating and the substrate, which is strong and not easy to fall off.

[0020] Further, in step three, when preparing the core-shell composite powder, Al powder and B4C powder are first ball-milled at a mass ratio of 3:1. Then, the core powder is dispersed in a Y(NO3)3 alcohol solution. By controlling the hydrolysis-condensation process, a Y(OH)3 gel layer is formed on the particle surface. Subsequently, the temperature is raised to 600-650°C at 1-3°C / min and held in argon for 1-3 hours. Then, it is cooled in the furnace to transform into a nanocrystalline Y2O3 shell layer. Finally, the powder is placed in a CVD reactor and a mixed gas of MoCl5, SiHCl3 and H2 is introduced at 850-950°C (the volume ratio of MoCl5:SiHCl3:H2 is 1:(3.0-3.5):(30-50); the system pressure is 5-15 kPa, and the deposition time is 60-120 minutes) to uniformly deposit a dense MoSi2 layer on the particle surface, forming a complete core-shell structure.

[0021] Furthermore, in step four, an Al-B-Y2O3 modified MoSi2 antioxidant layer is sprayed onto the Cr-Si layer using plasma spraying. The plasma spraying powder is a core-shell structured spherical composite powder, the plasma gas is Ar, the power is 25-35kW, the spraying distance is 100-120mm, the powder feeding rate is 25-35g / min, and the spray gun moving speed is 500-700mm / s.

[0022] Further, in step five, a YSZ heat insulation layer is sprayed onto the modified MoSi2 layer using plasma spraying. The plasma spraying powder is: agglomerated sintered 8YSZ powder (high-purity nano-sized 8YSZ powder (average particle size approximately 50 nm, purity greater than 99%), deionized water, ammonium polyacrylate (dispersant, added at 0.5-1.0 wt.% of the YSZ powder mass), and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) aqueous solution (binder, added at 2-4 wt.% of the YSZ powder mass; the mass concentration of the PVA aqueous solution is 5-8 wt.%). The material is ball-milled (using wet ball milling, with the following parameters: planetary ball mill or drum ball mill, grinding media being zirconia (YSZ) grinding balls, and grinding ball diameter using multi-gradation (e.g., Φ5mm, Φ10mm); ball-to-material ratio (grind ball mass: slurry mass): 2:1 to 3:1; ball mill revolution speed 200-300 rpm). The mixture is prepared by mixing at rpm (ball milling time is 24-48 hours) to form a stable and uniform slurry with a solid content of 35-45 wt.%. Spray granulation is then performed (using a centrifugal spray drying tower with an inlet temperature of 280-320℃ to ensure instantaneous drying of the droplet surface, forming a hard shell to prevent adhesion; the outlet temperature is 100-120℃, within which the solvent has been effectively evaporated, and the material temperature will not be too high to cause PVA decomposition or particle sintering; the atomizer speed is 10000-20000 rpm, and the high-speed rotating atomizing disc centrifugally pulverizes the slurry into tiny droplets, with the speed directly controlling the original droplet size; finally, hollow spherical agglomerates with good flowability are obtained, with the main particle size distribution in the target range of 45-90 μm, but containing a certain amount of fine powder). The powder is then sintered in air at a temperature of 1200-1300℃ for 1-2 hours, followed by natural cooling in the furnace. The sintered powder is then sieved using a standard sieve to select a particle size distribution of 45μm-100μm that meets the requirements for spraying. The plasma gas is Ar, the power is 35-45kW, the spraying distance is 120-150mm, the powder feeding rate is 30-40g / min, and the spray gun moving speed is 800-1000mm / s.

[0023] The present invention provides an anti-oxidation composite coating for niobium alloy surfaces. The coating has good adhesion to the substrate with a bonding strength of 60-66 MPa. After ablation at 2000℃ for 60 seconds, the coating still maintains its complete structure, with a linear ablation rate of only 0.027-0.037 mm / s.

[0024] This invention relates to the application of an anti-oxidation composite coating on a niobium alloy surface in high-temperature aerobic environments above 800°C. These environments include high thrust-to-weight ratio engines and high-temperature structural materials for aerospace applications.

[0025] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following significant features: This invention discloses an anti-oxidation composite coating for niobium alloy surfaces, its preparation method, and its application. The anti-oxidation composite coating includes a Cr-Si transition layer, on the surface of which a dense Al-B-Y₂O₃ modified MoSi₂ anti-oxidation layer and a YSZ heat insulation layer are sequentially disposed. In the Cr-Si transition layer, the Si element content increases in a gradient from the YSZ heat insulation layer towards the Al-B-Y₂O₃ modified MoSi₂ anti-oxidation layer. The preparation method includes the following steps: pretreating the substrate surface; preparing the Cr-Si transition layer on the substrate surface; preparing the Al-B-Y₂O₃ modified MoSi₂ anti-oxidation layer on the surface of the Cr-Si transition layer; and spraying the YSZ heat insulation layer onto the surface of the Al-B-Y₂O₃ modified MoSi₂ anti-oxidation layer.
