摘要: 

以MAX相为研究对象,针对MAX相喷涂涂层在制备过程中容易分解的难题,选择Ti、Al、石墨粉末为原料,通过离心雾化干燥、烧结造粒和等离子体喷涂,设计制备Ti-Al-C系复合涂层,在制备过程中原位生成部分MAX相。本文选择9组正交实验,主要研究喷涂工艺对涂层组织结构、力学性能和高温摩擦磨损性能的影响。结果表明,得益于MAX相和TiC等陶瓷相,优化后的涂层具有比基体更高的硬度,且具有优异的结合强度。高温摩擦磨损结果显示,涂层具有比基体更低的磨损率,且摩擦磨损温度越高,涂层的磨损防护效果越显著,可能与高温促进相转变或MAX相进一步生成有关。700 ℃时,Ti-Al-C系中C2涂层磨损率相比于基体降低了98.9%。涂层在反复磨损后,涂层中的Ti x Al y 、Ti2AlC等发生摩擦烧结氧化,在磨损表面形成釉面层,摩擦过程中对摩材料发生了材料转移,复合涂层的摩擦磨损机制为氧化磨损、粘着磨损和疲劳磨损。

Abstract:

This study focuses on MAX phases and addresses the challenge of their decomposition during the construction of sprayed coatings. Ti, Al, and graphite powders were selected as raw materials to design and construct Ti-Al-C reinforced composite coatings, in which a portion of the MAX phase was formed in situ through centrifugal atomization drying, sintering granulation, and plasma spraying. A nine-group orthogonal experimental design was employed to systematically investigate the effects of spray parameters on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and high-temperature tribological performance of the coatings. The results revealed that, due to the presence of MAX phases and ceramic phases, such as TiC, the optimized coatings exhibit higher hardness than that of the substrate and excellent bonding strength. High-temperature friction and wear tests revealed that the coatings exhibit significantly lower wear rates than those of the substrate, and the wear resistance improves with increasing temperature. This enhancement is likely attributed to temperature-induced phase transformations or the further formation of MAX phases. At 700 oC, the wear rate of the C2 coating in the Ti-Al-C system is 98.9% lower than that of the substrate. After repeated wear, phases such as Ti x Al y and Ti2AlC in the coating undergo friction-induced sintering and oxidation, thereby forming a glazed layer on the worn surface. During sliding, material transfer occurs between the coating and the counterface. The dominant wear mechanisms of the composite coating are identified as oxidative, adhesive, and fatigue wear.
