Abstract
Al2O3–13 wt.% TiO2 (AT13) coating is a significant ceramic coating in surface protection of key mechanical metal components such as plunger pumps, bearings, and turbine blades. However, the existence of the soft phase Al2TiO5 severely weakens the mechanical and thermal shock performance of the AT13 coating. With the modulating character of the oxygen partial pressure alteration induced by Ce3+/Ce4+ redox couple, the variable valence rare earth oxide CeO2 as a reinforcing assistant additive in AT13 coatings with different weight percentages to form a new type of AT13/CeO2 composite coating. With the increase of the CeO2 in the composite, the porosity and structural flaws of the coatings are greatly decreased, leading to an increase in their lubrication and chemical stability. Therefore, significantly enhanced mechanical properties and shock performance have been noted in the AT13/CeO2 coating. Under dry sliding conditions, the tribological test revealed that the anti-wear rate and anti-friction increased by 47 % and 18 % in the AT13/CeO2 coating, respectively. The thermal shock resistance of AT13/CeO2 coatings increases more than 6 times that of AT13 coating. Introducing variable valence rare earth oxide CeO2 supplies a new preparation strategy for improving the ceramic coating.
期刊介绍:
Materials Research Bulletin is an international journal reporting high-impact research on processing-structure-property relationships in functional materials and nanomaterials with interesting electronic, magnetic, optical, thermal, mechanical or catalytic properties. Papers purely on thermodynamics or theoretical calculations (e.g., density functional theory) do not fall within the scope of the journal unless they also demonstrate a clear link to physical properties. Topics covered include functional materials (e.g., dielectrics, pyroelectrics, piezoelectrics, ferroelectrics, relaxors, thermoelectrics, etc.); electrochemistry and solid-state ionics (e.g., photovoltaics, batteries, sensors, and fuel cells); nanomaterials, graphene, and nanocomposites; luminescence and photocatalysis; crystal-structure and defect-structure analysis; novel electronics; non-crystalline solids; flexible electronics; protein-material interactions; and polymeric ion-exchange membranes.
