High-Temperature Oxidation Behavior of Zr-Cr-Y Coating Prepared by Double-Glow Plasma Surface Alloying
摘要
A Zr-Cr-Y coating was prepared on the γ-TiAl alloy by double-glow plasma surface alloying technology. The microstructure, phase composition, and oxidation performance of the coating at 850 °C were analyzed. The Zr-Cr-Y coating is continuous, dense, and free of obvious pores and cracks, with a total thickness of approximately 15.3 ± 0.5 μm, consisting of an outer deposition layer and an inner gradient diffusion layer. After oxidation at 850 °C for 100 h, the mass gain of the coated γ-TiAl is approximately one-seventh of that of the uncoated alloy, and the oxidation kinetics follows a parabolic law with a much lower oxidation rate constant. The oxide scale of the uncoated alloy is loose and stratified, mainly composed of TiO2 with poor protectiveness. In contrast, the Zr-Cr-Y coating forms a dense and stable composite oxide layer dominated by Cr2O3, accompanied by ZrO2 and a small amount of Al2O3 during oxidation, which effectively inhibits the inward diffusion of oxygen and the outward diffusion of Ti.
