Abstract
To improve the high-temperature ablation resistance of Ta-10W alloy as a hot-end component of high-speed craft, a novel multilayered YSZ-MoSi2-Mo (YMM) gradient coating was designed and prepared using plasma spraying. The coating consisted of a YSZ surface layer (∼250 μm), a MoSi2-YSZ gradient middle layer (∼150 μm), and a Mo-MoSi2 bottom layer (∼100 μm). The ablation behavior of the coating was investigated using a plasma flame at 2100 °C, 2200 °C, 2300 °C, and 2400 °C for 300 s, respectively. Results showed that the coating remains intact during plasma ablation at 2100 °C. However, bulging (∼199.2 μm) at the ablation center occurred at 2200 °C, while the depth of the oxygen erosion was about 370 μm. Besides, the Mo-MoSi2 bottom layers were incompletely oxidized and damaged under all the ablation conditions. This indicates that the YMM coating could effectively protect the Ta-10W alloy at ablation temperatures ranging from 2100 to 2400 °C for 300 s. This excellent ablation resistance of the YMM coating was mainly attributed to the damage resistance from the plasma flame of the YSZ layer as well as the oxygen barrier effect and self-healing effect to cracks of SiO2 formed from MoSi2. Besides, the multilayered gradient structure of the coating effectively reduced the mismatch between the coefficient of thermal expansion of the YSZ layer and the Ta-10W alloy.
期刊介绍:
Ceramics International covers the science of advanced ceramic materials. The journal encourages contributions that demonstrate how an understanding of the basic chemical and physical phenomena may direct materials design and stimulate ideas for new or improved processing techniques, in order to obtain materials with desired structural features and properties.
Ceramics International covers oxide and non-oxide ceramics, functional glasses, glass ceramics, amorphous inorganic non-metallic materials (and their combinations with metal and organic materials), in the form of particulates, dense or porous bodies, thin/thick films and laminated, graded and composite structures. Process related topics such as ceramic-ceramic joints or joining ceramics with dissimilar materials, as well as surface finishing and conditioning are also covered. Besides traditional processing techniques, manufacturing routes of interest include innovative procedures benefiting from externally applied stresses, electromagnetic fields and energetic beams, as well as top-down and self-assembly nanotechnology approaches. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions on bio-inspired and bio-enabled materials designs, experimentally validated multi scale modelling and simulation for materials design, and the use of the most advanced chemical and physical characterization techniques of structure, properties and behaviour.
Technologically relevant low-dimensional systems are a particular focus of Ceramics International. These include 0, 1 and 2-D nanomaterials (also covering CNTs, graphene and related materials, and diamond-like carbons), their nanocomposites, as well as nano-hybrids and hierarchical multifunctional nanostructures that might integrate molecular, biological and electronic components.
