Experiments and simulation of rapid solidification of air plasma sprayed alloy 625 on stainless steel

AbstractCorrosion behaviour of stainless steel 347 was investigated in a molten nitrate salt (60 wt% NaNO3 + 40 wt% KNO3) immersion at 565 °C for up to 3000 h. A growth of stratified oxide layers consisting of NaFeO2, Fe2O3 and Fe3O4 was observed on the stainless steel surface with a constant gravimetric corrosion rate of ~ 0.4 µm/year. The feasibility of using Ni3Al coatings deposited by means of air plasma spray for suppression of corrosion was investigated. Ni3Al coatings were observed to undergo a fast oxidation with a corrosion rate of ~ 2.7 µm/year in the first 500 h, and subsequently stabilise between 500 and 3000 h with no observable changes in microstructure, composition and weight at a corrosion rate of ~ 0.02 µm/year. The results presented in this study strongly suggest that Ni3Al coating suppresses the formation of oxide layers on the surface of stainless steel substrates and can be used as protection against corrosion in the presence of molten nitrate salts, which is of relevance to thermal energy storage applications.

The high temperature corrosion behavior of thermal barrier coating (TBC) systemconsisting of IN-738 LC superalloy substrate, air plasma sprayed Ni24.5Cr6Al0.4Y (wt%)bond coat and air plasma sprayed ZrO2-20 wt% ceria-3.6 wt% yttria (CYSZ) ceramic coatwere characterized. The upper surfaces of CYSZ covered with 30 mg/cm2 , mixed 45 wt%Na2SO4-55 wt% V2O5 salt were exposed at different temperatures from 800 to 1000 oC andinteraction times from 1 up to 8 h. The upper surface plan view of the coatings wereidentified for topography, roughness, chemical composition, phases and reaction productsusing scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, talysurf, and X-raydiffraction. XRD analyses of the plasma sprayed coatings after hot corrosion confirmed thephase transformation of nontransformable tetragonal (t') into monoclinic phase, presence ofYVO4 and CeVO4 products. Analysis of the hot corrosion CYSZ coating confirmed theformation of high volume fraction of YVO4, with low volume fractions of CeOV4 and CeO2.The formation of these compounds were combined with formation of monoclinic phase (m)from transformation of nontransformable tetragonal phase (t').

In the high temperature combustion atmosphere inside of aircraft turbines, the currently used ceramic matrix composites require a protective environmental barrier coating (EBC) to mitigate corrosion of the turbine parts. Besides thermomechanical and thermochemical properties like matching thermal expansion coefficient (CTE) and a high resistance against corrosive media, mechanical properties like a high adhesion strength are also necessary for a long lifetime of the EBC. In the present work, the adhesion between an air plasma sprayed silicon bond coat and a vacuum plasma sprayed ytterbium disilicate topcoat was aimed to be enhanced by a laser surface structuring of the Si bond coat. An increase in interface toughness was assumed, since the introduction of structures would lead to an increased mechanical interlocking at the rougher bond coat interface. The interface toughness was measured by a new testing method, which allows the testing of specific interfaces. The results demonstrate a clear increase of the toughness from an original bond coat/topcoat interface (8.6 J/m2) compared to a laser structured interface (14.7 J/m2). Observations in the crack propagation indicates that the laser structuring may have led to a strengthening of the upper bond coat area by sintering. Furthermore, in addition to cohesive failure components, adhesive components can also be observed, which could have influenced the determined toughness.
