Effect of Graphene on High-Temperature Oxidation Behavior and Mechanism of NiAl Bond Coat
摘要
The existing metal bond coat is struggling with increasing demand for high thermal barrier coatings. To address this issue, multilayer graphene (Gr) was added as a reinforcement to NiAl bond coat. NiAl-based coatings with 0%, 0.6%, and 6% Gr were prepared via high-velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF), and their oxidation behaviors at 1050 °C were investigated. The results show that the addition of Gr apparently improves the high-temperature oxidation resistance of the NiAl coating. Mixed oxides of steady-state α-Al2O3 and metastable θ-Al2O3 form on the NiAl coating, while nearly pure α-Al2O3 is exhibited on the NiAl-0.6Gr and NiAl-6Gr coatings. The excellent oxidation resistance of the NiAl-0.6Gr coating is attributed to the dense protective α-Al2O3 layer formed by selective oxidation and the reduced agglomeration of Gr due to its appropriate content.
