The application relates to the technical field of
thermal protection coating materials, and discloses a self-healing ytterbia-based environmental barrier
coating and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method of the self-healing ytterbia-based environmental barrier
coating comprises the following steps: adding
ytterbium-aluminum-
silicon microcrystalline glass self-healing agent and
ytterbium disilicate
powder into a dispersant, then adding a binder, and mixing and stirring to obtain environmental barrier coating
slurry; uniformly coating the environmental barrier coating
slurry on a CMC base material, heating at 70-80 DEG C to remove the dispersant, and obtaining a pretreated CMC base material; heating the pretreated CMC base material to 1500-1600 DEG C and keeping the temperature, and obtaining the self-healing ytterbia-based environmental barrier coating. The preparation method is low in cost, simple in process and controllable; the
ytterbium-aluminum-
silicon microcrystalline glass is in-situ crystallized at high temperature, and
corrosion-resistant Yb2Si2O7 crystals and
mullite crystals are precipitated; residual glass phases serve as self-healing phases and melt into Yb2Si2O7 coating to penetrate into the CMC base, a mechanical pinning effect is formed, the
bonding strength of the coating and the CMC base is enhanced, and the high-temperature water-
oxygen corrosion resistance is good.
