Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of coating at least one surface of a solid substrate with at least one layer comprising at least one ceramic compound.
  • This layer is in particular a layer capable of resisting infiltration and degradation at high temperature due to contaminants, in particular contaminants in the form of solid particles such as dust, sand, or ash.
  • contaminants may in particular consist of a mixture of oxides generally comprising lime (CaO), magnesium oxide (MgO), alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) and silicon oxide (SiO 2 ). These contaminants are generally called CMAS.
  • the invention further relates to the coated solid substrate according to claim 14.
  • the invention also relates to a part comprising said solid substrate.
  • the layer prepared by the method according to the invention is intended to be integrated into multilayer coatings protecting a solid substrate made of metal alloy or metal superalloy or ceramic matrix composite (CMC), optionally coated with a bonding layer, itself also optionally coated with a thermally insulating ceramic layer, and/or an anti-oxidation layer, and/or an anti-corrosion layer.
  • CMC ceramic matrix composite
  • the technical field of the invention can be generally defined as that of anti-CMAS coatings.
  • the invention finds its application in particular in gas turbines or propulsion systems used in particular in the aeronautical, space, naval and land industries, for the protection of parts exposed to high temperatures.
  • temperatures such as, for example, turbine parts such as fixed and moving blades, distributors, turbine rings, parts of the combustion chamber or nozzle.
  • thermal barrier systems comprising a thermally insulating layer of ceramic oxide, most often made of YSZ (" Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia " in English), i.e. zirconia stabilized by yttrium (yttrium oxide Y 2 O 3 ), typically containing 7 to 8% by mass of yttrium oxide Y 2 O 3 .
  • a thermal barrier system is a multi-layer system composed of at least one thermally insulating layer making it possible to reduce the surface temperature of the structural material, namely the surface temperature of the material constituting the part such as a gas turbine part that one wishes to thermally protect.
  • Plasma spraying leads to lamellar microstructures with low thermal conductivity but limited lifetime during thermal cycling [1].
  • the EB-PVD process is preferred, due to the resulting columnar microstructures which, despite less advantageous thermal conductivities, ensure the accommodation of thermomechanical constraints, and ensure long service lives.
  • the EB-PVD process is also preferred to the APS process for its ability to retain air vents allowing an increase in operating temperatures [1].
  • Ceramic coatings with improved thermal insulation properties have recently been obtained using specific materials or processes.
  • YSZ deposits by solution plasma spraying processes (" SPPS",”Solution Precursor Plasma Spraying in English") or suspensions (" SPS",”Suspension Plasma Spraying” in English).
  • SPPS solution plasma spraying processes
  • SPS Solution Precursor Plasma Spraying in English
  • suspensions SPS
  • Suspension Plasma Spraying in English
  • the deposits obtained by these processes have varied microstructures which make it possible to increase the thermal insulation of the coating while ensuring significant resistance to thermal cycling.
  • the microstructures can be homogeneous (i.e. the pores or particles that make up the layer have no characteristic orientation at the micrometric scale), porous, vertically cracked, or columnar (i.e.
  • the layer has a structure that, at the micrometric scale, has a preferred orientation in the direction of the thickness of the layer, with an organization in the form of columnar domains and, between the columnar domains, empty spaces or inter-columnar spaces that reflect the compactness of the columnar stack and whose amplitude is adjustable), with or without inter-passes (resulting from the presence of unmelted (non-melted) or partially melted particles within the deposit.
  • the microstructures can also have combinations of the various morphologies described above. Examples of these microstructures are presented in documents [2] and [3].
  • the molten CMAS infiltrates into the thermal barrier system and can lead, during thermal cycling, to stiffening, cracking and, ultimately, delamination of the thermal barrier system. Furthermore, a chemical interaction is observed between the CMAS and the layers of the system, leading to the dissolution of the yttria zirconia and the precipitation of new less stable phases. These two phenomena can lead to a loss of integrity of the thermal barriers and constitute a brake on the increase in the operating temperature of turbojets.
  • An environmental barrier system is a multi-layer system, typically applied to metal surfaces or ceramic matrix composites. This environmental barrier system is composed of at least one layer resistant to corrosive environments.
  • anti-CMAS materials which react with CMAS contaminants, to form stable phases at high temperature which will stop and/or limit infiltration into the heart of the coating.
  • apatite and/or anorthite phases appears to be capable of stopping CMAS infiltration.
  • Different materials have been identified for their ability to form these phases.
  • Documents [5] and [6] present in particular materials making it possible to limit and/or stop CMAS infiltration.
  • RE Sc, Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Yb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Tb, Lu
  • composite materials composed of Y 2 O 3 and ZrO 2 and/or Al 2 O 3 and/or TiO 2 , hexa-aluminates, and rare earth mono- and di-silicates (the rare earth being Y or Yb), and mixtures of these materials.
  • this CMAS protective layer many deposition processes can be used, such as the APS, SPS, SPPS, EB-PVD processes already mentioned above, the physical vapor deposition process (“PVD”, “Physical Vapor Deposition ”), the chemical vapor deposition process (“CVD”, “Chemical Vapor Deposition ”), the sol-gel process, etc.
  • PVD Physical Vapor Deposition
  • CVD chemical vapor deposition
  • sol-gel process etc.
  • the anti-CMAS coatings produced by APS lead to non-columnar lamellar microstructures, with lamellae having large surfaces capable of reacting with the CMAS to form more stable phases.
  • it is complicated to apply these layers to high-pressure turbine parts without clogging the vent holes.
  • SPS and SPPS processes which yield nanostructured layers or finely structured layers, can be solutions to form anti-CMAS layers with homogeneous microstructures without clogging the vent holes.
  • Anti-CMAS layers obtained by SPS are currently made with suspensions containing particles with sizes less than 1 ⁇ m (documents [9] and [10]).
  • Patent documents EP2947173 A1 And EP2415905 A1 disclose CMAS resistant coatings applied by SPS.
  • the solid substrate may consist simply of a simple support which is in the form of a solid support or in the form of a layer, or the solid substrate may consist of a support on which there is a layer or a multilayer coating for example a multilayer thermal protection coating, namely a thermal barrier system, or a multilayer coating for protection against corrosive environments, namely an environmental barrier system.
  • This process must allow the preparation of this layer on all types of substrates, whatever the geometry of this substrate, whatever the material constituting this substrate (i.e. more precisely the material constituting the support or the layer on which the layer prepared by the process is deposited), whatever the structure, in particular the microstructure of the substrate (support or layer), and whatever the process by which this substrate (support or layer) was prepared.
  • the method according to the invention must allow the preparation of a ceramic layer, more precisely an effective anti-CMAS layer, on a substrate (support or layer) prepared by a technique chosen from the techniques of EB-PVD, APS, SPS, SPPS, PVD, CVD, sol gel, and all combinations of these techniques.
  • the method according to the invention must allow the preparation of a ceramic layer, more precisely an effective anti-CMAS layer, on a substrate (support or layer) having a microstructure chosen from a structure columnar, a columnar and porous structure, a compact and porous columnar structure, a homogeneous structure, a homogeneous and porous structure, a dense structure, a dense and vertically fissured structure, a porous and vertically fissured structure, and all combinations of these techniques.
  • the aim of the invention is, among other things, to provide a method for coating at least one surface of a solid substrate with at least one layer comprising at least one ceramic compound, which meets, among other things, these needs and which does not have the drawbacks, defects, limitations and disadvantages of the methods of the prior art, in particular the SPS methods of the prior art, and which solves the problems of the methods of the prior art.
  • SPS plasma spraying technique of suspensions
  • d 90 largest dimension
  • the ceramic compound is chosen from compounds called anti-CMAS compounds, preferably the ceramic compound is chosen from rare earth zirconates of formula RE 2 Zr 2 O 7
  • At least 90% by volume of the solid particles have a largest dimension (called d 90 ), such as a diameter, less than 8 ⁇ m, preferably less than 5 ⁇ m.
  • At least 50% by volume of the solid particles have a larger dimension (called d 50 ) such as a diameter greater than or equal to 2 ⁇ m, preferably greater than or equal to 3 ⁇ m, more preferably greater than or equal to 4 ⁇ m, better still greater than or equal to 5 ⁇ m.
  • d 50 a larger dimension
  • d 50 can be equal to 1 ⁇ m, 1.01 ⁇ m, 3 ⁇ m, 5 ⁇ m, or 5.5 ⁇ m.
  • d 90 can be equal to 7 ⁇ m, 4 ⁇ m, 4.95 ⁇ m, 5 ⁇ m, 12 ⁇ m, 13 ⁇ m or 13.2 ⁇ m.
  • the invention covers all possible combinations of values of d 90 and d 50 mentioned above.
  • the analysis of the particle size of the suspension is carried out by laser diffraction granulometry according to the ISO 24235 standard.
  • the d 90 and dso can be determined from ISO 9276.
  • the term "lamellar”, applied to a layer, means that the layer has a structure having, at the micrometric scale, elementary bricks having a privileged orientation in the direction perpendicular to the thickness of the layer.
  • the term "columnar”, applied to a layer, means that the layer has a structure having, on a micrometric scale, a privileged orientation of elementary bricks in the direction of the thickness of the layer, these bricks being organized in the form of columns.
  • homogeneous applied to a layer, means that the layer has a structure formed of elementary bricks which do not have a characteristic orientation to the micrometer scale. Similarly, the porosity of the layer has no characteristic orientation at the micrometer scale.
  • the method according to the invention is fundamentally distinguished from the methods of the prior art in that it uses a specific deposition technique, namely a suspension plasma projection (SPS) technique and in that the suspension contains particles which have a very specific particle size, namely a particle size defined by the fact that at least 90% by volume of the solid particles have a largest dimension (called d 90 ), such as a diameter, less than 15 ⁇ m, preferably less than 10 ⁇ m, and at least 50% by volume of the solid particles have a largest dimension such as a diameter (called d 50 ) greater than or equal to 1 ⁇ m.
  • SPS suspension plasma projection
  • Such a particle size distribution of the suspension is neither described nor suggested in the prior art, where the SPS processes used to prepare, for example, anti-CMAS layers use suspensions containing "small" particles having sizes less than 1 ⁇ m, i.e. with a dso of less than 1 ⁇ m, in particular a nanometric d 50 and/or d 90 , i.e. greater than or equal to 1 nanometer and less than or equal to 100 nanometers, or a submicrometric d 50 and/or d 90 , i.e. greater than 100 nanometers and less than 1000 nanometers.
  • the layer obtained by the method according to the invention has a much greater tortuosity, due to the use of much larger particles. This significant tortuosity makes it possible to slow down the infiltration, for example of liquid CMAS into the thickness of the layer.
  • the injection of particles in the SPS technique implemented according to the invention is carried out from a suspension of particles carried in a pressurized vector liquid. This makes it possible to penetrate the particles having a d 90 of less than 15 ⁇ m, preferably less than 10 ⁇ m, by inertia effect into the heart of the plasma jet without excessive disturbance of the latter and thus to optimize their transport and heating by the plasma jet.
