(TiAlNb)N hard reactive films are prepared by multi-arc ion plating technology using the combination of Ti-50Al (at%) and Ti-25Nb (at%) alloy targets. The high speed steel (HSS) is adopted as substrate. The surface and cross-fracture morphology, the surface compositions and the phase structures of the as-deposited (TiAlNb)N films are observed and measured by scan electronic microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The mechanical properties including the micro-hardness, the adhesion between film and substrate, the thermal shock resistance of the as-deposited (TiAlNb)N films are systemically investigated. The effects of deposition bias voltage and the addition of Nb element on the as-deposited (TiAlNb)N films are discussed. The optimally comprehensive performances, especially hardness and thermal shock resistance, exhibited by (TiAlNb)N films with bias voltage of 100V.

TiAlON/TiAlN/TiAl hard films are prepared by multi-arc ion plating technology using the Ti-50Al (at%) alloy target. The high speed steel (HSS) is adopted as substrate. The surface and cross-fracture morphology, the surface and cross-fracture compositions and the phase structures of the as-deposited TiAlON/TiAlN/TiAl hard films are observed and measured by scan electronic microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The mechanical properties, including micro-hardness and adhesive strength between film and substrate, of the as-deposited TiAlON/TiAlN/TiAl hard films are investigated. The effects of oxygen partial pressure on the as-deposited films are discussed. It is revealed that the increase of oxygen decreased liquid droplets distribution density to some extent, caused complicated phase structure. Nevertheless, the good adhesive strength and the improved hardness with a maximum of 3900HV are achieved.

The (TiCr)N hard reactive films with 4 different Ti/Cr atomic ratios are prepared by using multi-arc ion plating. The Ti and Cr targets are used as cathodes in the co-deposition process. The high speed steel (HSS) specimens are adopted as substrate. The thermal shock cycle tests in air cooling (AC) way for the (TiCr)N films are carried out. The test temperatures are chosen as 600 °C and 700 °C, respectively. The changes of the surface compositions and morphology in the thermal shock cycle tests are investigated. The effects of Cr content in the (TiCr)N films, the temperature at which the thermal shock cycle tests are performed and the cycling times on the thermal shock resistance of the (TiCr)N films are discussed and analyzed in detail. The thermal shock behaviors of the (TiCr)N films show that the thermal shock cycling process of the (TiCr)N films consists of two stages, the steady-state oxidation stage with the increase of oxygen content at the early stage of thermal cycles, and, the instable oxidation stage with the oxidation aggravation and the occurrence of the surface cracks. The simple increase of Cr content in the (TiCr)N film does not improve the thermal shock resistance of the (TiCr)N films but easy to aggravate the surface oxidation process during the thermal shock cycles.

The physical and mechanical properties of nanometer ZrO2-ZrO2fiber composite ceramics were studied by introduction of ZrO2fiber. ZrO2composite ceramics at different sintering temperature was investigated by porosity and water absorption measurements, flexual strength and thermal shock resistance analysis. Results showed that ZrO2composite ceramics containing 15 wt% ZrO2fiber with sintering temperature of 1650°C exhibited good mechanical properties and thermal shock resistance. The porosity and the water absorption were 8.84% and 1.62%, respectively. The flexual strength was 975 MPa and the thermal shock times reached 31 times. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to analyze the microstructure of ZrO2composite ceramics.

This paper deeply studied the limitation of evaluating the thermal shock resistance of Al2O3-SiO2 refractory by measuring Strength Loss Rate (SLR). By means of supersonic, X-ray diffraction (XRD), the results were drawn as followed.1)After the thermal shock experiment for mullite based A-S refractory, which were composed by mullite and corundum, the supersonic velocity slowed down as it going through the sample while the cold crushing strength abnormally increased at initial state.2) The strength increased remarkably with the ascending of mullite fraction.3)It is inadequate to evaluate the thermal shock resistance of mullite based A-S refractory by strength loss rate.

The effects of Si3N4 addition on the room temperature physical properties and thermal shock resistance properties of corundum based refractory castables were investigated using brown corundum, white corundum and alumina micropowder as the starting materials and pure calcium aluminate as a binder. The phase composition, microstructure, mechanical properties of corundum based castables were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that as the increase in Si3N4 addition, the bulk density decreased and apparent porosity increased, the cold strength deduced. However, the residual strength rate increased. That is, the thermal shock resistance was improved. This is because even though the introduction of Si3N4 inhibited the sintering of material and deduced the compactness, microcracks were produced in the materials due to a difference in thermal expansion coefficient. So the thermal shock resistance of corundum based castable was improved.

Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) were deposited by an Air Plasma Spraying (APS) technique. The TBC coating comprised of 92 wt.% ZrO2 and 8 wt.% Y2O3 (YSZ), CoNiCrAlY bond coat, and MarM247 nickel base super alloy. After APS of YSZ two batches of TBC specimens were tested, one batch of which was pre-oxidised in air for 10h at 1080 oC. Both types of the specimens were directly pushed into a combustion gas at 1150 oC for 25 min and then out to the natural air for quenching. The combustion gas was produced by burning jet fuel with high speed air in a high temperature wind tunnel, which simulates the real service conditions in an aeroengine. Results show that TBCs prepared by the APS had good thermal shock resistance in the combustion gas. The pre-oxidation treatment of the TBC had a significant effect on its thermal shock life. The as-oxidised TBCs always had worse thermal shock resistance than the as-sprayed ones after thermal shock cycles.
