Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of coating preparation, and particularly relates to a method for preparing a uniform coating on the surface of a complex profile by using plasma physical vapor deposition (PS-PVD).
Background
In recent years, aerospace technology is rapidly developing, and a high-performance gas turbine engine is required to have a higher thrust-weight ratio. Therefore, new and higher demands are also being made on the blades inside the engine. The inlet temperature of the aero-engine with the thrust-weight ratio of 10 in front of the turbine is 1850-1988K, the inlet temperature of the first-class aero-engine with the thrust-weight ratio of 12-15 in front of the turbine is 2000-2100K, and the inlet temperature of the first-class aero-engine with the thrust-weight ratio of 15-20 in front of the turbine is higher and can reach 2100-2200K. Even with the most advanced film cooling techniques, the turbine blade will be in service at a surface temperature that far exceeds the ultimate service temperature of the superalloy material used for the blade. In addition, the film cooling method is technically well developed, and if the cooling effect is further improved by increasing the flow rate of the cooling gas, part of the performance of the engine is sacrificed, and energy is wasted. In this case, thermal barrier coating techniques have been developed.
Thermal barrier coatings, also known as TBCs, are a surface protection technique that deposits ceramic materials with high temperature resistance, low thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, etc. on the surface of a metal substrate in the form of a coating, thereby increasing the service temperature and high temperature oxidation resistance thereof, extending the service life of turbine engine blades, and improving the engine efficiency, and are also key techniques for the core hot end components of advanced gas turbine engines. The current preparation methods of the thermal barrier coating mainly comprise three methods: atmospheric Plasma Spraying (APS), electron beam physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD), plasma physical vapor deposition techniques (PS-PVD).
Plasma-Physical Vapor Deposition (PS-PVD) is an advanced coating preparation technology that has been developed in recent years. The PS-PVD uses a high-power (180 kW) plasma spray gun to spray under ultralow working pressure (0.5-2 mbar). The plasma jet morphology and characteristics have changed greatly. Plasma gas is heated and dissociated into high-energy and high-pressure plasma in the electrode gun by electric arcs, and the high-energy and high-pressure plasma is violently expanded to form supersonic plasma jet after entering a vacuum chamber through a nozzle. The plasma jet becomes thick and long, the length can exceed 2m, and the diameter can increase to 200-400 mm.
The plasma physical vapor deposition technology adopts high-energy plasma jet generated by a high-power plasma spray gun to melt and gasify sprayed particles, and the melted/gasified particles reach the surface of a substrate at high speed along with the plasma jet and are deposited, so that gas-liquid-solid multiphase composite deposition is realized, and the microstructure of a coating is also controlled. The plasma physical vapor deposition technology combines the technical advantages of Plasma Spraying (PS) and vapor deposition (PVD), has the advantages of high deposition speed of the PS technology and the like, and can realize vapor deposition. Most importantly, PS-PVD can achieve deposition of non-line-of-sight region coatings. The plasma jet can be directed around to the shadow areas of the geometrically complex workpiece and achieve uniform deposition of the coating.
The substrate temperature in the PS-PVD coating preparation technology has an important influence on the coating structure. The coating structure is influenced most by the temperature of the substrate during pure vapor deposition, and the coating presents different structure characteristics along with the change of the temperature of the substrate. At lower temperatures (less than 500 c), the deposition efficiency of the coating is low and the bond strength between the coating and the substrate is low. The shadow effect plays a main role at the temperature of 700-900 ℃, the crystal grows into a coarse conical crystal, and the top of the conical structure presents a circular arch shape; when the temperature is higher (more than 1200 ℃), the surface diffusion plays a main role to form columnar crystals with preferred orientation, certain gaps exist between the columns, and pores between the columns can penetrate to the surface of the coating along the surface of the substrate.
The existing coating preparation technologies such as EB-PVD, APS, LPPS, HVOF and the like mainly adopt high-energy beam jet flow to preheat a workpiece when preparing a coating so as to reach the matrix temperature required by spraying and generate a thermal product protective layer in the preheating process. But the preheating of a large workpiece by plasma flame flow of the PS-PVD equipment is difficult to achieve uniformly. The temperature at the clamping end of the workpiece is low, the spraying requirement cannot be met, the workpiece is easy to be locally overheated in the middle of the jet flow, the workpiece is locally melted, in addition, the simultaneous preheating and spraying of multiple workpieces are difficult to realize by using the plasma flame flow for preheating, and the production efficiency is low. The two main reasons for this are that the effective heating range of the flame flow is limited, the temperature of the PS-PVD plasma jet near the nozzle outlet is the highest and can reach 15550K, but the plasma jet temperature is continuously reduced along with the increase of the spraying distance, in addition, the temperature distribution in the radial direction of the plasma flame flow is not uniform, the center temperature of the plasma jet is very high, and the edge temperature of the jet is low. On the other hand, PS-PVD has the advantages of electroplating, but the plasma jet has limited heating capacity for non-line-of-sight areas due to shielding of different parts of a workpiece with a complex profile.
Therefore, according to the PS-PVD process of the prior art, when a plurality of complex-profile workpieces are coated at one time, the uniformity of the coating at different positions is poor due to uneven preheating. In order to improve the thickness uniformity, microstructure uniformity and service life consistency of the PS-PVD coating prepared on the complex surface, a method suitable for PS-PVD equipment for preparing uniform coatings on the surfaces of a plurality of complex surface workpieces at one time is urgently needed.
