  • a thermal-sprayed coating used for a molten metal resistant member undergoes strong thermal shock when the thermal-sprayed coating comes into contact with a molten metal.

  • the thermal-spraying particles are perfect spheres. Then their surface area is proportional to the square of the diameter, and the volume is proportional to the cube of the diameter. Therefore, the specific surface area increases inversely proportional to the diameter. For example, when the diameter of the thermal-spraying particles is reduced from 40 ⁇ m to 4 ⁇ m, the specific surface area increases by a factor of 10. The weight becomes 1/1,000.
  • the thermal-spraying particles sprayed into the combustion gas are heated from their surfaces and sprayed through the flow of the combustion gas. Therefore, when finer thermal-spraying particles are used, it is expected that the temperature and velocity of the thermal-spraying particles increase.
  • White alumina particles having an average particle diameter as a median diameter of 4 ⁇ m were sprayed, and measurement was performed using the Accuraspray thermal spray measuring apparatus, manufactured by Sulzer Metco.
  • the surface temperature of the flying thermal-spraying particles was found to be 2,700K, and the velocity of the thermal-spraying particles was found to be 2,750 m/sec. This surface temperature is higher than the melting point of the white alumina being 2,302K.

  • thermal spraying could be performed for a short time.
  • the inner surface of the nozzle 5 wore, and molten thermal-spraying particles adhered to the inner surface of the nozzle 5 and then flaked off, causing spray defects called spitting.

  • the oxide-based ceramic has low thermal conductivity, and the distance between the spraying apparatus and the member to be spray-coated is short (200 mm in this test example).
  • the heating time is therefore short, and the flying thermal-spraying oxide-based ceramic particles impinge on the member to be spray-coated at a supersonic velocity of 1,000 m/sec of higher, with only the surfaces of the particles being in a semi-melted state and the inside being in a solid state. Therefore, in contrast to a thermal-sprayed oxide-based ceramic coating formed using a conventional plasma gun, a thermal-sprayed coating that is dense, includes thermal-spraying particles bonded with high bonding strength, strongly resists deterioration, and has insulating properties can be obtained. Since high compressive residual stress remains present in the thermal-sprayed coating, high bonding strength between the particles is obtained, and resistance to cracks and exfoliation caused by external mechanical force and thermal shock is obtained.
  • each of the thermal-spraying particles impinging on the member to be spray-coated includes a surface layer portion that has been once thermally melted and then solidified and an inner layer portion that has not been thermally melted and is in a state before the thermal-spraying particles are fed to the high velocity gas spraying apparatus.
  • the surface layer portions of adjacent thermal-spraying particles are firmly bonded with no gaps, and a thermal-sprayed coating having the above-described properties can thereby be obtained.

  • the coating of the present invention that includes particles with an average particle diameter as a median diameter or 10 ⁇ m or smaller, is dense, and has high insulating properties can exert its performance even when the sprayed thickness is 50 ⁇ m or smaller, and a significant reduction in cost can be achieved.
  • the thermal spray coated member preferably further comprises a thermal-sprayed undercoating, the thermal-sprayed undercoating being a cermet- or metal-based thermal-sprayed coating that has been thermal-sprayed as a primer coating for the thermal-sprayed oxide-based ceramic coating, and the thickness of the thermal-sprayed undercoating is preferably set to 200 ⁇ m or smaller.
  • TABLE 1 shows the thermal expansion coefficients of various materials.

  • the difference in thermal expansion coefficient is larger than 60%, cracks are more likely to occur.
  • the oxide-based ceramic used for the upper layer has a small thermal expansion coefficient
  • stainless steel used for a substrate has a large thermal expansion coefficient. Therefore, by providing, between the substrate and the upper layer, a thermal-sprayed undercoating having an intermediate thermal expansion coefficient between those of the substrate and the upper layer, the occurrence of cracks due to the difference in thermal expansion coefficient can be prevented.
  • a metal-based material such as STELITE#6 and WC—B—Co-based cermet be thermal-sprayed to form an undercoating.
  • gray alumina or white alumina may be used for the thermal-spraying particles.
  • the thermal-spraying particles in the thermal-sprayed coating are such that the crystal structure of the surface layer portion has been changed from the ⁇ phase to the ⁇ phase by heat fusion and the crystal structure of the inner layer portion has not been changed and is the ⁇ phase.
  • gray alumina is produced by melting and reducing natural bauxite directly in an arc type electric furnace and is therefore inexpensive.
  • the gray alumina has a low melting point, can be easily thermal-sprayed, and has high shock resistance, wear resistance, molten metal resistance, acid resistance, and molten metal releasability.
  • the gray alumina was immersed in a molten metal including 55% by weight of aluminum/45% by weight of zinc at 873K for 16 days, the gray alumina was not damaged, as shown in the optical microscope photograph in FIG. 3 .
  • a test piece 1 was produced by thermal-spraying conventional gray alumina having an average particle diameter as a median diameter of about 25 ⁇ m using a plasma gun, and a test piece 2 according to the present invention was produced by thermal-spraying gray alumina having an average particle diameter as a median diameter of about 6 ⁇ m using the high velocity gas spraying apparatus in FIG. 5 .
  • the bonding strengths between the thermal-spraying particles in the thermal-sprayed coatings in the test pieces 1 and 2 were compared using a blast abrasion tester shown in FIG. 6 . More specifically, 1 kg of a #70 alumina blasting material was sprayed onto each thermal-sprayed coating from a distance of 65 mm at an angle of 60°.
  • a reduction in weight of the each sprayed coating was measured, and the results for the test pieces were compared.
  • thermal-spraying particles in the thermal-sprayed coating are separated from each other, and the weight of the thermal-sprayed coating decreases.
  • the bonding strengths between the particles can be compared. As shown in TABLE 2, the bonding strength between the particles in the test piece 2 according to the present invention was found to be higher by a factor of 5.6 than that in the test piece 1 including the conventional thermal-sprayed coating.
  • the thermal-sprayed coating in the test piece 1 was brittle.
  • the thermal-sprayed coating in the test piece 1 contains pores in an amount of 21%, the particles are not physically bonded.
  • the thermal-spraying particles have been completely melted in plasma at about 30,000K, the phase change may also contribute to the brittleness.
