Abstract
High-entropy rare-earth silicates are promising candidate materials for enhanced calcium‑magnesium-aluminosilicate (CMAS) resistance as next-generation environmental barrier coatings (EBCs). In this study, CMAS corrosion behaviors of plasma-sprayed high-entropy disilicate (Yb0.2Lu0.2Er0.2Tm0.2Sc0.2)2Si2O7 ((5RE0.2)2Si2O7) and Yb2Si2O7 coatings were comparatively investigated at 1500 °C, to clarify the effect of high-entropy engineering on enhancing the CMAS corrosion resistance. After corrosion at 1500 °C for 1 h, the corrosion layer thickness of the (5RE0.2)2Si2O7 coating was 50 ± 12 μm, while that of the Yb2Si2O7 coating reached 90 ± 15 μm. When the corrosion time was extended to 20 h, the Yb2Si2O7 coating completely failed, but the (5RE0.2)2Si2O7 coating still maintained protective effect. The (5RE0.2)2Si2O7 coating exhibited superior corrosion resistance compared with the Yb2Si2O7 coating, primarily attributed to the sluggish diffusion effect of high-entropy materials and reduced average rare-earth ion radius. A dense reaction layer interlaced with apatite and garnet was formed, effectively limiting the further penetration of CMAS. This work provides valuable insights for designing high-entropy coatings with exceptional anti-CMAS corrosion performance.
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.
