AI Technical Summary
Existing coatings on tantalum-niobium alloy surfaces are prone to oxidation at high temperatures, and thermal stress caused by mismatched coefficients of thermal expansion can lead to coating cracking or peeling. It is difficult to simultaneously achieve oxidation resistance, thermal shock resistance, and adhesion.
A high-entropy disilicide coating is formed by the co-infiltration reaction of silicon powder, molybdenum powder, tungsten powder, titanium powder, NH4Cl and α-Al2O3. Combined with a SiAlCN transition layer and a Cr2AlC outermost layer, the interfacial bonding and thermal shock resistance are enhanced by a multi-element solid solution and a nano-array structure.
It improves the coating's oxidation resistance, thermal shock resistance, and adhesion, inhibits powdering and peeling of the coating at high temperatures, and enhances the overall stability and thermal shock resistance of the coating.
