Abstract
This study presents the design of a multilayer composite coating comprising a Mo(Si, Al)2 dispersed GYYSZ composite coating, a transition coating, and a Mo(Si, Al)2 antioxidant coating. The multilayer composite coating containing 10 vol% Mo(Si, Al)2 dispersed GYYSZ is designated as “GM”. In contrast, the multilayer coating containing pure GYYSZ serves as the control group and is designated as “GZ”. The coatings were prepared on the Mo substrate by the large plasma spraying. The coatings' performance was assessed through burner rig tests under high temperatures and significant temperature gradients, with each thermal cycle lasting 25 s. The coating surface temperature reached 2700 K in the tests. The test life of the GZ coating is only 1 cycle. Due to the connection of transverse cracks and vertical cracks, the Top coat of GZ exhibits clear delamination from the Transition coat, compromising the coating's protective function. In contrast, the test life of the GM coating is >5 cycles. The GM coating after tests maintains a strong bond between the two layers, showing no significant delamination. Subsequently, a long-term test of 360 s was conducted on the GM coating. After the test, cracks appeared on the coating surface, but no delamination was observed. The Top coat of GM develops three distinct layers post-tests: a porous layer, a sintered layer, and a nonsintered layer. The porous layer results from the volatilization of gaseous products and high-temperature flame erosion. The coating of the sintered layer is densified by sintering. The formation of glassy SiO2 and Al2O3 from Mo(Si, Al)2 oxidation, along with ZrSiO4 from the reaction of SiO2 with ZrO2, effectively fills and seals the pores within the sintered layer. This enhances the coating's longevity and inhibits oxygen diffusion. The dense sintered layer, coupled with the cooling effect of high-pressure water, effectively prevents oxidation of the nonsintered layer and the underlying coating. Following the long-term test, transverse cracks developed within the sintered layer of the GM coating due to the persistent oxidation of the Mo(Si, Al)2 phase, which was detrimental to the service life of the GM coating.
期刊介绍:
Surface and Coatings Technology is an international archival journal publishing scientific papers on significant developments in surface and interface engineering to modify and improve the surface properties of materials for protection in demanding contact conditions or aggressive environments, or for enhanced functional performance. Contributions range from original scientific articles concerned with fundamental and applied aspects of research or direct applications of metallic, inorganic, organic and composite coatings, to invited reviews of current technology in specific areas. Papers submitted to this journal are expected to be in line with the following aspects in processes, and properties/performance:
A. Processes: Physical and chemical vapour deposition techniques, thermal and plasma spraying, surface modification by directed energy techniques such as ion, electron and laser beams, thermo-chemical treatment, wet chemical and electrochemical processes such as plating, sol-gel coating, anodization, plasma electrolytic oxidation, etc., but excluding painting.
B. Properties/performance: friction performance, wear resistance (e.g., abrasion, erosion, fretting, etc), corrosion and oxidation resistance, thermal protection, diffusion resistance, hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity, and properties relevant to smart materials behaviour and enhanced multifunctional performance for environmental, energy and medical applications, but excluding device aspects.
