Abstract
Al2O3/SiO2 micro-stacked composite coatings with varying deposition sequences were fabricated on AISI 304 stainless steel to enhance their performance for applications exceeding 850 °C. Single coatings of Al2O3 and SiO2, as well as Al2O3-SiO2 (A-S) mixed coating, were prepared for comparative analysis. After 100 h of oxidation treatment at 900 °C, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy spectrum analysis (EDS)were used to investigate their high-temperature performance. The results demonstrated that all coatings effectively enhanced the high-temperature performance of stainless steel. The antioxidant properties of the coatings were ranked: coatings with SiO2 applied first (SSA, SAS) > coatings with Al2O3 applied first (ASA, AAS) > single coatings (AAA, SSS), revealing that the deposition sequences significantly effected the high-temperature performance of coatings. The combination of Al2O3 and SiO2 facilitates the formation of a more protective composite oxide, exhibiting complementary high-temperature antioxidant properties. The low mass gain of the A-S mixed coating and its high oxidation spallation indicate limited improvement in the antioxidant properties. A partial metallurgical bond layer has formed in the interface of coating/substrate for micro-stacked composite thin coatings with SiO2 applied first, which contributes to lower oxidation spallation thus the better oxidation resistance. The SAS micro-stacked composite thin coating demonstrated the best high temperature oxidation resistance, with mass gain and oxidation spallation of 41.2 % and 29.9 % respectively compared to those of the blank stainless steel sample.
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.
