Definitions

  • a process for depositing functionally graded materials and structures is described for manufacturing materials that possess the high temperature and corrosion resistant performance of ceramics and glasses, while at the same time eliminating the common mismatches encountered when these are applied to structural metal or composite substrates.
  • An example of the structure of a functionally graded coating is shown in FIG. 1 .
  • An example of the functionally graded coating structure applied to a pipe is shown in FIG. 2 .
  • Electrolytic deposition describes the deposition of metal coatings onto metal or other conductive substrates and can be used to deposit metal and/or ceramic materials via electrolytic and electrophoretic methods. See, e.g. DE 10 301 135 B4 and Low et al., Surface & Coating Technology, 20 (2006) 371-378 . Electrodeposition which is a low-cost method for forming a dense coating on any conductive substrate and which can be used to deposit organic primer (i.e. "E-coat” technology) and ceramic coatings.
  • organic primer i.e. "E-coat” technology
  • the embodiments described herein include methods and materials utilized in manufacturing functionally graded coatings or claddings for at least one of corrosion, tribological and high temperature protection of an underlying substrate.
  • the technology described herein also is directed to articles which include a wear resistant, corrosion resistant and/or high temperature resistant coating including a functionally-graded matrix.
  • the present invention is directed to a method for producing a functionary-graded coating, comprising:
  • the present invention is further directed to an electrodeposited functionally-graded coating, comprising:
  • One embodiment provides a method which will allow for the controlled growth of a functionally-graded matrix of metal and polymer or metal and ceramic on the surface of a substrate, which can corrode, or otherwise degrade, such as a metal.
  • Another embodiment provides a method which includes the electrophoretic deposition of controlled ratios of ceramic pre-polymer and atomic-scale expansion agents to form a ceramic (following pyrolysis). This form of electrophoretic deposition may then be coupled with electrolytic deposition to form a hybrid structure that is functionally graded and changes in concentration from metal (electrolytically deposited) to ceramic, polymer or glass (electrophoretically deposited).
  • Embodiments of the methods described here provide a high-density, corrosion and/or heat resistant material (e.g., ceramic, glass, polymer) that is deposited onto the surface of a substrate to form a functionally-graded polymer:metal, ceramic:metal, or glass:metal coating.
  • a coating of controlled density, composition, hardness, thermal conductivity, wear resistance and/or corrosion resistance, that has been grown directly onto a surface.
  • the functionally-graded coating made according to the methods disclosed herein may be resistant to spallation due to mismatch in any of: coefficient of thermal expansion, hardness, ductility, toughness, elasticity or other property (together “Interface Property”), between the substrate and the ceramic, polymer, pre-ceramic polymer (with or without fillers) or glass (together “Inert Phase”) as the coating incorporates a material at the substrate interface, which more closely matches the Interface Property of the substrate.
  • coatings made according to methods described herein are resistant to wear, corrosion and/or heat due to the hard, abrasion-resistant, non-reactive and/or heat-stable nature of the Inert Phase.
  • Polymer-derived ceramic composites have been demonstrated for applications, including-oxidation resistance and thermal barriers, due to their high density and low open-pore volume (e.g., the ceramic has less than 1,5, 10, 20, 30, 40, or 50 percent voids based on volume). See, JD Torrey and RK Bordia, Journal of European Ceramic Society 28 (2008) 253-257 . These polymer-derived ceramics can be electrophoretically deposited. Electrophoretic deposition is a two-step process.
  • a first step particles suspended in a liquid are forced to move towards one of the electrodes by applying an electric field to the suspension (electrophoresis).
  • the particles collect at one of the electrodes and form a coherent deposit on it. Since the local composition of the deposit is directly related to the concentration and composition of the suspension at the moment of deposition, the electrophoretic process allows continuous processing of functionally graded materials.
  • Polymer-derived ceramics is the method used in commercial production of Nicalon® and Tyranno fibers.
  • the technology of this disclosure includes the use of electrochemical deposition processes to produce composition-controlled functionally-graded coating through chemical and electrochemical control of the initial suspension.
  • This deposition process is referred to as Layered Electrophoretic and Faradaic Depostion (LEAF).
  • LEAF Layered Electrophoretic and Faradaic Depostion
  • Control of current evolution and direction of the electric field also offers the possibility to orient anisotropic powders allowing intimate control of both the density AND the morphology of the Inert Phase (e.g., the content and organization of added ceramic, polymer or glass materials incorporated into an electrodeposited functionally-graded coating).
  • the resulting density of ceramic can be varied through the coatings to produce a varying morphology of ceramic/metal composition.
  • Polymer-derived ceramics have shown promise as a novel way to process low-dimensional ceramics, including matrices, fibers and coatings. Polymer-derived ceramic composites have been demonstrated for applications including oxidation barriers, due to their high density and low open-pore volume. See, Torrey and RK Bordia, Journal of European Ceramic Society 28 (2008) 253-257 .
  • the Active Filler Controlled Pyrolysis (AFCoP), polymer-derived ceramics offer many benefits over tradition ceramic processing methods including:
  • Pure polymer-derived ceramics suffer from certain performance limitations.
  • One such limitation is the occurrence of volume shrinkage - up to 50%, upon sintering.
  • the AFCoP process is employed, as shown in Figure 4 .
  • the active-filler additive can be occluded into the liquid polymer prior to casting and sintering. During sintering, this additive acts as an expansion agent, resulting in a fully dense part with near zero volume loss (e.g., there are no voids present).
  • Active fillers include Si, Al, Ti and other metals, which on pyrolysis form SiC, Al2O 3 or TiSi 2 , for example.
  • One of the limitations of this process, as it is practiced currently, is the limited reactivity of the fillers. In many cases, due to kinetic limitations, even for the finest available powders, the filler conversion is incomplete. As will be shown in the processes described herein, the reactive "filler" and the polymer will mixed at molecular scale leading to highly efficient conversion of the filler to the product phase.
  • Polymer-derived ceramics and in particular, AFCoP ceramics have shown promise as a novel way to process a variety of ceramics forms, including matrices, fibers and coatings.
  • Polymer-derived ceramic composites have been demonstrated for applications, including-oxidation resistance and thermal barriers, due to their high density and low open-pore volume. See, JD Torrey and RK Bordia, Journal of European Ceramic Society 28 (2008) 253-257 .
  • the AFCoP concept and the LEAF deposition process are combined to enable a manufacturing capability which can produce tailorable, low-cost, ultra-high-performance SiC f /SiC composites and parts.
  • the Layered Electrophoretic And Faradaic (LEAF) production process employed herein enables the low-cost production of tailored ceramic matrices.
  • a first portion of the LEAF process consists in depositing either direct SiC powders, pre-ceramic polymer emulsions (including active fillers) or a combination of these onto the SiC fiber.
  • Electrophoretic deposition is a two-step process. In a first step, particles suspended in a liquid are forced to move towards one of the electrodes by applying an electric field to the suspension (electrophoresis). In a second step (deposition), the particles collect at one of the electrodes and form a coherent deposit on it. Since the local composition of the deposit is directly related to the concentration and composition of the suspension at the moment of deposition, the electrophoretic process allows continuous continuous processing of functionally graded materials.
  • compositions described herein are prepared by the LEAF electrophoretic deposition process outlined above on fiber mat as illustrated in Figure 5 .
  • the LEAF process offers the ability to reliably produce composition-controlled "green” (not yet sintered) ceramic through chemical and electrochemical control of the initial suspension.
  • the starting fiber which serves as a mandrel, LEAF provides a means to manufacture free standing parts of complex geometry, and hybrid, strength-tailored materials.
  • LEAF affords the means to engineer step-graded and continuously graded compositions.
  • Control of current evolution and direction of the electric field also offers the possibility to orient anisotropic powders allowing intimate control of both the density AND the morphology of the ceramic deposit.
  • Layer thickness can be controlled by, among other things, the application of current in the electrodeposition process.
  • current density may be varied within the range between 0.5 and 2000 mA/cm 2 .
  • Other ranges for current densities are also possible, for example, a current density may be varied within the range between: about 1 and 20 mA/cm 2 ; about 5 and 50 mA/cm 2 ; about 30 and 70 mA/cm 2 ; 0.5 and 500 mA/cm 2 ; 100 and 2000 mA/cm 2 ; greater than about 500 mA/cm 2 ; and about 15 and 40 mA/cm 2 base on the surface area of the substrate or mandrel to be coated.
  • the frequency of the wave forms may be from about 0.01 Hz to about 50 Hz. In other embodiments the frequency can be from: about 0.5 to about10 Hz; 0.02 to about 1Hz or from about 2 to 20Hz; or from about 1 to about 5 Hz.
  • the electrical potential employed to prepare the coatings is in the range of 5V and 5000 V. In other embodiments the electrical potential is within a range selected from 5 and 200 V; about 50 and 500 V; about 100 and 1000 V; 250 and 2500 V; 500 and 3000 V; 1,000 and 4,000 V; and 2000 and 5000 V.
  • Density gradation allows for the design and development of a highly optimized SiC-fiber:SiC-matrix interface. Density gradation provides a means for balancing the optimization of the interface strength, while still maintaining a high density, and in some embodiments gas impermeable and hermetically sealed matrix. Gas impermeability is especially important in corrosion protection where a high level of gas diffusion through the coating may result in substrate attack.
  • the LEAF process enables control and gradation of density such that a high density region near the substrate may protect the substrate from attack while a low density region near the surface may reduce the thermal conductivity of the coating.
  • a sample composition can be controlled by controlling the voltage. Specifically, by slowly transitioning from a low voltage electrolytic deposition regime to a high voltage electrophoretic deposition regime it may be possible to create a functionally-graded material that gradually changes from metal to ceramic or polymer.
  • the coating composition can be functionally-graded by modifying the metal concentration in the electrolyte solution during electrochemical deposition.
  • This approach affords an additional means to control the composition of the functionally-graded coating, and allows for deposition to occur at relatively lower current densities and voltages, which produced a better quality in the deposited composites.
  • the standard cathodic emulsion system where the emulsion particles comprise polymer, pre-ceramic polymer, ceramic or a combination thereof, can be adjusted by adding increasing amounts of nickel to the solution. This embodiment is described in Example #3.
  • this disclosure provides a corrosion resistant coating, which changes in composition throughout its depth, from a high metal concentration at the interface with the substrate to which it is applied to an Inert Phase at the surface.
  • the present disclosure provides a heat resistant coating, which changes in composition throughout its depth, from a high metal concentration at the interface with the substrate to which it is applied to an Inert Phase at the surface.
  • Inert Phase means any polymer, ceramic, pre-ceramic polymer (with or without fillers) or glass, which can be electrophoretically deposited.
  • This Inert Phase may include Al 2 O 3 , SiO 2 TiN, BN, Fe 2 O 3 , MgO, and TiO 2 , SiC, TiO, TiN, silane polymers, polyhydriromethylsilazane and others.
  • M is selected from Li, Sr, La, W, Ta, Hf, Cr, Ca, Na, Al, Ti, Zr, Cs, Ru, and Pb.
  • metal means any metal, metal alloy or other composite containing a metal. These metals may comprise one or more of Ni, Zn, Fe, Cu, Au, Ag, Pd, Sn, Mn, Co, Pb, Al, Ti, Mg and Cr.
