Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of coating structure design and preparation, and relates to a molybdenum-based composite coating with good high-temperature stability and low emissivity and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of high-thrust engines and hypersonic spacecraft, the ambient temperature during engine ignition can exceed 1000℃. Spacecraft propulsion systems and their equipment are extremely susceptible to damage when subjected to the radiant heat of the engine's high-temperature plume. Therefore, more stringent performance requirements have been placed on the thermal protection materials for critical components such as spacecraft propulsion systems.

[0003] Multilayer thermal insulation materials are a core component of spacecraft thermal protection systems. Their performance directly affects the internal temperature balance of the spacecraft, thus determining whether internal equipment and payloads can operate normally. Multilayer thermal insulation materials are thermal insulation components composed of alternating layers of low-emissivity reflective screens and low-thermal-conductivity spacers. Their working principle is that the reflective screens reflect radiant heat layer by layer, forming extremely high thermal resistance. They exhibit excellent thermal insulation performance in a vacuum environment, with a theoretical equivalent thermal conductivity as low as 10. -5 With a strength on the order of W / (m·K), it is known as a super thermal insulation material and has important applications in spacecraft thermal protection systems.

[0004] Conventional multilayer heat-insulating reflective materials, despite their low emissivity, are typically suitable for lower operating temperatures. According to Boltzmann's law, infrared emissivity increases with the fourth power of temperature; the higher the temperature, the more significant the radiative heat transfer. When the temperature exceeds 1000℃, the reduced emissivity of the reflective screen can significantly suppress radiative heat transfer. Currently, high-temperature materials for reflective screens are mainly low-emissivity metal foils, such as gold foil, copper foil, aluminum foil, nickel foil, and stainless steel. However, most metal foil materials (such as gold and aluminum foil) are prone to diffusion, volatilization, oxidation, and structural instability at high temperatures. Therefore, developing reflective screen materials with higher temperature resistance and lower emissivity is key to achieving high-temperature heat insulation materials.

[0005] Numerous researchers both domestically and internationally have explored the preparation of low-emissivity composite coatings from various perspectives to achieve the goal of high-temperature, low-emissivity properties. Studies have found that metal films such as Au foil, Al foil, and stainless steel exhibit good structural stability and low emissivity. However, some shortcomings remain. For example, metal films exhibit some selectivity for high-temperature alloys; for instance, metal films deposited on the surface of single-crystal nickel-based alloys have weaker adhesion and are prone to detachment. Furthermore, the metal film preparation process requires sophisticated equipment, imposes limitations on component size, and has a relatively low temperature resistance (below 800℃). During long-term use, phenomena such as elemental diffusion, film blistering, and easy wear can occur, affecting their long-term performance and stability.

[0006] Molybdenum metal, due to its excellent thermal fatigue resistance, high melting point (2620℃), low coefficient of thermal expansion, and good high-temperature creep resistance, is an ideal choice for reflectors in multilayer thermal insulation materials for high-temperature thermal protection (>1200℃). However, molybdenum foil has a relatively high surface emissivity (approximately 0.1) at high temperatures, affecting its thermal radiation performance. The emissivity of a metal is affected by surface roughness and oxide film; precious metals such as gold (Au), platinum (Pt), and palladium (Pd) are commonly used for low-emissivity coatings. Among them, Pt coatings are widely used on the surfaces of substrates such as stainless steel, titanium alloys, and nickel alloys. Applying a Pt coating to a molybdenum foil substrate can effectively reduce its surface emissivity and improve the thermal radiation performance of the reflector. However, at high temperatures, molybdenum metal easily diffuses into the Pt coating, leading to an increase in the coating's emissivity.

[0007] Furthermore, molybdenum metal readily forms volatile molybdenum oxides (such as MoO3 and MoO2) in high-temperature, oxygen-rich environments. These oxides not only significantly reduce the mechanical properties of molybdenum but also increase its surface emissivity, thereby reducing the radiative thermal performance of the reflector. In summary, directly coating the molybdenum metal surface with a low-emissivity platinum coating is insufficient to meet the low-emissivity performance requirements of reflectors in high-temperature environments. Currently, there are no literature reports on low-emissivity reflectors suitable for multilayer thermal insulation materials used in high-temperature thermal protection (>1200℃) applications such as spacecraft surfaces and propulsion systems. Therefore, research and development of high-temperature resistant, low-emissivity molybdenum-based reflector composite coatings are urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a molybdenum-based composite coating with good high-temperature stability and low emissivity, as well as its preparation method. Specifically, this invention constructs a Mo / Al₂O₃ / PtOx / Pt composite coating on the surface of a molybdenum foil (Mo) substrate, comprising an Al₂O₃ diffusion-blocking layer and a PtOx layer, respectively. x A modified transition layer and a Pt low-emissivity surface layer are used to meet the performance requirements of high-temperature multilayer thermal insulation material reflectors for high temperature resistance (>1200℃) and low emissivity.

[0009] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a molybdenum-based composite coating with high temperature stability and low emissivity, comprising, in sequence, an Al2O3 anti-diffusion barrier layer, a PtOx modified transition layer, and a Pt low emissivity layer formed on the surface of a Mo substrate.

[0010] Preferably, the thickness of the Al2O3 anti-diffusion barrier layer is 300–600 nm, and more preferably 530–550 nm.

[0011] Preferably, the thickness of the PtOx modified transition layer is 50–400 nm, and more preferably 200–230 nm.

[0012] Preferably, the thickness of the Pt low emissivity layer is 100–1000 nm, more preferably 200–230 nm.

[0013] Preferably, the total thickness of the composite coating is 0.45–2 μm.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the inorganic high-temperature resistant and low infrared emissivity composite coating of the present invention adopts a multi-layer stacked structure design, which can be used in a high-temperature environment of 1200℃, with an emissivity of 0.07. Compared with current yttrium oxide coatings, silicon dioxide coatings, and Au / Ni coatings prepared by magnetron sputtering, its performance is significantly improved in many aspects such as infrared emissivity, operating temperature, and high-temperature stability.

[0015] Based on the principle of functional superposition and complementary advantages of composite coatings, the anti-diffusion barrier layer uses an Al2O3 thin film, which can prevent the high-temperature oxidation of the metal substrate and the diffusion between the substrate material and the Pt thin film at high temperatures, thus avoiding the deterioration of the performance of the low emissivity functional layer. The introduction of the PtOx modified transition layer enhances the bonding force between the Al2O3 layer and the Pt layer, preventing the "dehydration and agglomeration" phenomenon of the composite coating during high-temperature processes and maintaining the stability of the composite coating system at high temperatures. The low emissivity layer Pt is chemically stable and does not oxidize at high temperatures, ensuring stability and low emissivity at high temperatures, while also serving as an anti-oxidation coating to prevent the high-temperature oxidation of the molybdenum substrate. The coatings are tightly bonded with both mechanical and solid-phase diffusion bonding forces. In addition, the matching of the thermal expansion coefficients of the coatings prevents cracking and peeling of the composite coating. Therefore, the molybdenum-based composite coating obtained by this invention has a dense structure, good bonding between layers, and excellent high-temperature stability and low emissivity performance.

[0016] Secondly, the present invention provides a method for preparing a molybdenum-based composite coating with high-temperature stability and low emissivity, comprising: (1) Surface pretreatment of Mo matrix; (2) An Al2O3 anti-diffusion barrier layer was prepared by vacuum deposition of molten alumina onto the surface of a pretreated Mo substrate.

[0020] Preferably, in step (3), the process parameters of the DC magnetron sputtering reaction method include: a vacuum degree of 1.0 × 10⁻⁶. -4 ~5×10 -4 Pa; Target material: Pt (purity 99.99%); Target-substrate distance: 5-20 cm; Working pressure: 0.1-1.0 Pa; Power: 50-200 W; Oxygen flow rate: 1-20 sccm; Argon flow rate: 5-60 sccm; Sputtering temperature: room temperature.

[0022] Beneficial effects: (1) A composite coating was prepared by combining vacuum coating and magnetron sputtering. The resulting coating had a uniform microstructure and good density. The layers of the coating were well bonded together and there were no defects such as through cracks. (2) In the coating system designed in this invention, Al2O3 (8.3×10⁻⁶) -6 ℃ -1 PtOx (9.0×10) -6 ℃ -1 ), Pt(8.8×10 -6℃ -1 ) and molybdenum substrate (6.0×10 -6 ℃ -1 The matching thermal expansion coefficient can effectively alleviate thermal stress during thermal cycling.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] In Example 1 of this invention, an Al2O3 / PtOx / Pt composite coating was prepared on a Mo substrate (20 μm thick). From the innermost layer to the outermost layer, the coating comprises: an Al2O3 diffusion-blocking layer, a PtOx modified transition layer, and an outermost Pt layer. The preparation method of the composite coating includes the following steps: (1) Mo substrate pretreatment. The Mo substrate was cut into 4×4cm pieces and ultrasonically cleaned in 20mL acetone, 40mL distilled water and 20mL ethanol for 20min, 10min and 5min respectively. Then it was dried in an oven at 80℃ for 10min.

[0039] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the molybdenum-based composite coating structure prepared in Example 1. As shown in the figure, the molybdenum-based composite coating prepared in Example 1 consists of three layers: the first layer is an Al2O3 anti-diffusion barrier layer in direct contact with the substrate; the second layer is a PtOx modified transition layer on the surface of the Al2O3 anti-diffusion barrier layer; and the third layer (outermost layer) is a Pt layer on the surface of the PtOx layer. The layers are well bonded together.

[0040] Figure 2 (a) and Figure 3 (a) shows the surface morphology and cross-sectional view of the Mo / Al2O3 / PtOx / Pt composite coating system prepared in Example 1. As can be seen from the figure, the coating surface is uniform and dense, the microstructure is uniform, and the coating layers are tightly bonded.

[0041] The high-temperature performance of the Mo / Al2O3 / PtOx / Pt composite coating was evaluated by heat treatment. The conditions were as follows: the sample was placed in a vacuum graphite furnace at 1200℃ and held for 30 minutes, and then cooled to room temperature.

[0042] Figure 2 (b) and Figure 3 (b) shows the surface morphology and cross-sectional view of the composite coating system after heat treatment. Figure 2 (b) It can be seen that after high-temperature treatment at 1200℃, the coating surface is uniform and dense, and still maintains a smooth state. Figure 3 (b) It can be seen that longitudinal cracks are generated in the Al2O3 layer during the heat treatment process, but terminate in the Al2O3 layer. The coating and the substrate are well bonded and no cracking occurs. It can be seen that the coating surface maintains a smooth and dense morphology during the heat treatment process, indicating that the coating system designed in this invention has good high temperature resistance.

[0043] The hemispherical emissivity of the Mo / Al2O3 / PtOx / Pt composite coating before and after heat treatment was measured using an infrared emissivity meter. The results are as follows: Figure 8 As shown, the hemispherical emissivity of the composite coating without high-temperature treatment is 0.06, while that after high-temperature treatment is 0.07, indicating that the Mo / Al2O3 / PtOx / Pt composite coating system prepared in Example 1 has good high-temperature stability and low emissivity performance.

[0044] Comparative Example 1

[0045] A Pt coating with a thickness of 224 nm (Mo / Pt coating) was prepared on a Mo substrate using the same DC magnetron sputtering Pt process conditions as in step (5) of Example 1.

[0046] The resulting coating was subjected to high-temperature heat treatment under the same conditions as in Example 1, and the emissivity after high-temperature heat treatment was tested.

[0047] Figure 4 (a) and (b) are the microstructure images of the Mo / Pt coating before and after heat treatment at 1200℃ for 30 min, respectively. As can be seen from the figures, after heat treatment of the Mo / Pt coating for 30 min, a network of pores appears on the surface of the coating, exposing the substrate.

[0048] Figure 5 The figure shows a cross-sectional view of the Mo / Pt coating system after high-temperature treatment at 1200℃. As can be seen from the figure, significant interlayer fractures occurred in the Mo / Pt coating system after heat treatment at 1200℃.

[0049] like Figure 8 As shown, the infrared emissivity test results of the Mo / Pt coating before and after heat treatment at 1200℃ for 30 min are 0.06 and 0.19, respectively. This indicates that the high-temperature performance and retention of low infrared emissivity of this coating system are far inferior to the Mo / Al2O3 / PtOx / Pt composite coating system prepared in Example 1.

[0050] Comparative Example 2

[0051] An Al2O3 / Pt coating was prepared on a Mo substrate using the same vacuum Al2O3 deposition process conditions in step (3) of Example 1 and the same DC magnetron sputtering Pt process conditions in step (5). The Al2O3 film thickness was 544 nm and the Pt thickness was 224 nm (Mo / Al2O3 / Pt coating).

[0052] The obtained Al2O3 / Pt coating was subjected to high-temperature heat treatment under the same conditions as in Example 1, and the emissivity after high-temperature heat treatment was tested.

[0053] Figure 6 (a) and (b) show the microstructures of the Mo / Al2O3 / Pt coating before and after heat treatment at 1200℃ for 30 min, respectively. As can be seen from the figures, pores appear on the surface of the Mo / Al2O3 / Pt coating after heat treatment for 30 min.

[0054] Figure 7 The figure shows a cross-sectional view of the Mo / Al2O3 / Pt coating system after high-temperature treatment at 1200℃. As can be seen from the figure, obvious porosity occurs in the Pt layer of the coating system after heat treatment at 1200℃.

[0055] like Figure 8 As shown, the infrared emissivity test results of the Mo / Al2O3 / Pt coating before and after heat treatment at 1200℃ for 30 min are 0.06 and 0.15, respectively. This indicates that the high-temperature performance and retention of low infrared emissivity of this coating system are far inferior to the Mo / Al2O3 / PtOx / Pt composite coating system prepared in Example 1.
