Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of high-temperature protective coating technology, and more specifically, relates to a high-temperature resistant and low-hydrogen-permeability composite coating and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Hydrogen, due to its clean, efficient, and zero-carbon properties, is hailed as one of the most promising green energy sources. With the continued growth of global energy demand, hydrogen energy is widely considered crucial for achieving global energy transition and addressing climate change, making its development and utilization a national strategic goal for countries worldwide. However, hydrogen energy faces a very challenging problem in its application—hydrogen embrittlement—which seriously threatens the safety and reliability of related components and application systems, greatly limiting its application. To effectively address this challenge, hydrogen-barrier coating technology has emerged, focusing on solving problems such as hydrogen embrittlement, interface failure, and process complexity.
[0003] With the rapid development of advanced nuclear energy systems, aerospace propulsion, and the hydrogen energy industry, problems such as material embrittlement and fuel leakage caused by hydrogen isotope permeation under high-temperature environments are becoming increasingly prominent. Especially under extreme conditions, coatings must simultaneously meet core requirements such as high-temperature stability, hydrogen barrier efficiency, and service life, posing a severe challenge to high-temperature hydrogen barrier coating technology. Traditional oxide (such as alumina, chromium oxide) or carbide (such as silicon carbide) based hydrogen barrier coatings suffer from significant defects and technical bottlenecks under extreme conditions, including thermal expansion mismatch, low interfacial bonding strength, and high-temperature performance degradation. Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), due to its unique two-dimensional layered structure and physicochemical properties, has become an ideal hydrogen barrier material. Specifically: The hexagonal lattice spacing of h-BN (0.333 nm) is smaller than the dynamic diameter of a hydrogen molecule (0.289 nm), effectively blocking hydrogen penetration. The adsorption energy of its polar BN bonds for hydrogen atoms (0.35 eV) is significantly higher than that of graphite (0.07 eV), achieving chemisorption and retention. Its coefficient of thermal expansion (0.6-1.2 × 10⁻⁶) is also significantly lower. -6 The difference between h-BN and most metal matrices is reduced by more than 70% compared to Al2O3, which can significantly alleviate interfacial thermal stress. Experiments show that h-BN can be stable up to 850℃ in an inert atmosphere, and its layered structure can still adsorb hydrogen atoms to form a stable complex at high temperatures through the polar characteristics of boron-nitrogen bonds.
[0004] However, the application of existing h-BN coatings still reveals problems such as insufficient interfacial bonding strength and insufficient adaptability to dynamic working conditions, which seriously restricts engineering applications. Technological breakthroughs are urgently needed through material system innovation and process reform. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the bottlenecks in existing technologies by proposing a high-temperature resistant, low-hydrogen-permeability composite coating and its application. This invention improves the interfacial bonding strength between the coating and the metal substrate through a multi-level gradient composite design and an interface-strengthened coating preparation process, constructing a coating system with strong adaptability to dynamic operating conditions, possessing ultra-low hydrogen permeability, high-temperature stability, and thermal shock resistance.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a high-temperature resistant and low-hydrogen-permeability composite coating, wherein the composite coating comprises a bonding layer, a transition layer, a functional layer and a sealing layer arranged sequentially from bottom to top with decreasing porosity; The bonding layer is obtained by cold spraying CrAlSi alloy powder onto a metal substrate and then vacuum annealing; the particle size of the CrAlSi alloy powder is 5-25μm. The transition layer comprises multiple transition sublayers stacked together. Each transition sublayer independently comprises flake-shaped h-BN powder with a particle size of 1-3 μm, SiC powder with a particle size of 50-100 nm, and Al powder with a particle size of 1-5 μm. Furthermore, the mass fraction of the flake-shaped h-BN powder in each transition sublayer increases linearly from 10% to 50% from the bonding layer to the functional layer. The raw materials for the functional layer include flake-shaped h-BN powder with a particle size of 1-3 μm, Y2O3 powder with a particle size of 50-100 nm, Al2O3 powder with a particle size of 0.5-1.5 μm, and ZrO2 powder with a particle size of 50-200 nm; and the mass fraction of the flake-shaped h-BN powder in the functional layer is 55-60%.

Specifically: The content of flake-shaped h-BN powder: In the bonding layer → transition layer → functional layer, the h-BN content gradually increases from 0% to about 60%, thereby achieving a smooth transition of the coefficient of thermal expansion and relieving thermal stress; Porosity gradient: The coating system of this invention exhibits a layer-by-layer distribution with decreasing porosity from bottom to top, namely bonding layer (porosity < 5%) → functional layer (porosity < 2%) → sealing layer (porosity < 0.1%), which seals hydrogen permeation channels step by step. Grain size gradient composite reinforcement: The coating adopts a composite design of micron- and nano-scale particles, using nanoparticles to fill the gaps between micron-particles to form a "micron-nano-micron" grain size gradient composite structure, which improves the overall density and toughness of the coating.
[0008] (2) Interface enhancement technology

It constructs a coating system with ultra-low hydrogen permeability (the synergistic effect of h-BN's physical barrier and chemical adsorption reduces hydrogen permeability by two orders of magnitude compared to the bare substrate), high-temperature stability, and strong adaptability to dynamic operating conditions. This solves the technical bottlenecks of existing h-BN coatings, such as low interfacial bonding strength, insufficient high-temperature oxidation and thermal shock resistance, and poor adaptability to dynamic operating conditions.
[0041] The coating of this invention adopts a multi-layer gradient composite hydrogen barrier structure with hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) as the core reinforcing phase. Through the synergistic gradient design of h-BN composition content, porosity and microstructure, and combined with the interface strengthening coating preparation process, the thermal stress between the coating and the metal substrate is effectively relieved, and the interfacial bonding strength and thermal shock resistance are significantly improved.
