In the embodiment, by arranging the concave cambered surface, the shearing stress is greatly reduced, the growth of transverse cracks is further inhibited, and the falling probability of the thermal barrier coating is reduced.
In addition, the bonding force of the thermal barrier coating is high, and the strain in the vertical direction can be well resisted, so that the adverse effect of the component force in the vertical interface direction decomposed by the concave cambered surface on the thermal barrier coating is negligible.
On the other hand, the combination of the thermal barrier coating and the concave cambered surface increases the area of the connecting interface between the metal substrate and the thermal barrier coating, and improves the overall stressed area, which means that the same force or deformation can be shared by the interface with larger area, improves the strain tolerance of the thermal barrier coating, and inhibits the growth of transverse cracks;
in yet another aspect, the outer edges of adjacent concave cambered surfaces form a peak structure that inhibits stress and crack propagation from thermal strain.
Specifically, the peak structure can effectively prevent the propagation of micro cracks formed at the deflection interface in the parallel direction, prevent the cracks from penetrating through the whole interface and prolong the service life. But also can inhibit the stress propagation caused by thermal strain.
The strengthening structure of the interface between the thermal barrier coating and the metal matrix can strengthen the connection strength of the thermal barrier coating and the metal matrix only by structural improvement, can inhibit the growth of transverse cracks at a high temperature, and is suitable for the metal matrix and the thermal barrier coating of various materials.

When the concave cambered surface radius is 33 times of the thickness of the thermal barrier coating, the thermal shock performance can still be obtained by 2 times, and the weight of the metal matrix is increased by about 2.21 percent.

As shown in the accompanying drawings 1-4, the invention provides a strengthening structure of a thermal barrier coating and metal matrix interface, which comprises a metal matrix 1 and a thermal barrier coating 2, wherein the thermal barrier coating 2 is arranged on the connecting interface of a metal substrate 1, and the connecting interface of the thermal barrier coating 2 is the connecting interface of the thermal barrier coating 2 on the connecting side of the thermal barrier coating 2 and the metal matrix 1.
The connection interface of the metal matrix 1 is provided with the reinforced interfaces 11 which are arranged in a rectangular grid mode, namely the reinforced interfaces 11 are arranged in a rectangular grid mode and are fully paved with the connection interface of the metal matrix 1, and the reinforced interfaces 11 are mutually clung and are arranged in a rectangular array mode. The reinforced interface 11 includes a concave arc surface 111, the concave arc surface 111 is in a spherical cap structure, an outer side 112 of a single concave arc surface 111 is in a rectangular structure, specifically, the outer side 112 of a single concave arc surface 111 is in a rectangular shape in a top view, and each side is in an arc structure. The two adjacent reinforced interfaces 11 are in the same edge, and the outer side edge 112 is the high point of the concave cambered surface 111, so that the edge sharing position of the two reinforced interfaces 11 can form a peak structure;
the connecting interface of the thermal barrier coating 2 and the connecting interface of the metal matrix 1 are co-shaped and are attached. The connection mode of the metal substrate 1 and the thermal barrier coating 2 can be selected according to the needs, for example, the metal substrate 1 and the thermal barrier coating 2 are directly formed integrally (3D printing), or are adhered to each other, or the thermal barrier coating 2 is processed (spraying) on the metal substrate 1.
After the metal substrate 1 and the thermal barrier coating 2 are combined, the strengthening structure of the interface between the thermal barrier coating and the metal substrate provided by the invention can strengthen the combined strength of the metal substrate 1 and the thermal barrier coating 2 from the following aspects on the basis of ensuring the performance of the original thermal barrier coating 2:
On the one hand, the thermal barrier coating 2 is combined with the concave cambered surface 111, so that shear stress generated at the joint interface of the metal substrate 1 and the thermal barrier coating 2 due to the difference of expansion coefficients is decomposed, and a component force in the direction perpendicular to the interface and a component force in the direction along the interface are decomposed, thereby greatly reducing the shear stress in the parallel direction and inhibiting the growth of transverse cracks;
The thermal barrier coating 2 is attached to the metal substrate 1, and no stress strain exists in the normal-temperature initial state. When the temperature of the structure increases, a large shear stress is generated at the bonding interface due to the difference of expansion coefficients, and the shear stress is a main reason for causing the transverse crack growth to fall off the thermal barrier coating 2. In the embodiment, by arranging the concave cambered surface 111, the shearing stress is greatly reduced, the growth of transverse cracks is further inhibited, and the falling probability of the thermal barrier coating 2 is reduced.
In addition, the bonding force of the thermal barrier coating 2 is high, and the strain in the vertical direction can be well resisted, so that the adverse effect of the component force in the vertical interface direction decomposed by the concave cambered surface 111 on the thermal barrier coating 2 is negligible.
On the other hand, the combination of the thermal barrier coating 2 and the concave cambered surface 111 increases the area of the connecting interface between the metal substrate 1 and the thermal barrier coating 2, and improves the whole stressed area, which means that the same force or deformation can be shared by the interface with larger area, improves the strain tolerance of the thermal barrier coating 2, and inhibits the growth of transverse cracks;
In yet another aspect, the outer side 112 of adjacent concave camber 111 forms a peak structure that inhibits thermal strain induced stress and crack propagation.
Specifically, the peak structure can effectively prevent the propagation of micro cracks formed at the deflection interface in the parallel direction, prevent the cracks from penetrating through the whole interface and prolong the service life. But also can inhibit the stress propagation caused by thermal strain.
The strengthening structure of the interface between the thermal barrier coating and the metal matrix can strengthen the connection strength of the thermal barrier coating and the metal matrix only by structural improvement, can inhibit the growth of transverse cracks at a high temperature, and is suitable for the metal matrix and the thermal barrier coating of various materials. Experiments show that the invention can obtain remarkable improvement of thermal shock performance on the premise of small weight increase of the metal matrix 1, and can obtain 3-time improvement of thermal shock performance when the radius of the concave cambered surface 111 with the thickness of 7 times and the side length of the outer side edge 112 with the thickness of 5 times of the thermal barrier coating 2 are adopted. When the thickness of the thermal barrier coating 2 is 33 times of the radius of the concave cambered surface 111, the thermal shock performance of 2 times can still be obtained, and the metal matrix 1 only increases in weight by about 2.21%.
In one embodiment, the outer side 112 of the single concave cambered surface 111 has a square structure. By the arrangement, the consistency of the transverse reinforcing effect and the longitudinal reinforcing effect can be ensured.
In one embodiment, the radius of the concave cambered surface 111 is 7-70 times the thickness of the thermal barrier coating 2. In this way, an enhancement effect, reusability and an acceptable weight gain can be ensured.
In one embodiment, the outer side 112 has a side length that is 2.5-3.5 times the thickness of the thermal barrier coating 2, preferably the outer side 112 has a side length that is 3 times the thickness of the thermal barrier coating 2, and the outer side 112 has a side length that is less than the radius of the concave arc surface 111. In this embodiment, the side length of the outer side edge 112 is determined comprehensively according to the radian of the concave cambered surface 111 and the weight increasing effect brought about by the acceptable strengthening interface 11.
In one embodiment, the radius of concave arcuate surface 111 is 4-10 times the side length of outer side 112. By calculation, when the radius r of the concave cambered surface 111 is greater than 4 times the side length of the outer side edge 112, the increase of the metal base 1 is greatly reduced and tends to be stable.
In one embodiment, the thermal barrier coating 2 comprises a ceramic layer and a bond coat.
By way of example, the ceramic layer is zirconia, alumina or tantalate. The ceramic layer can also be made of other various coating materials.
As an example, the metal matrix 1 is stainless steel, superalloy or refractory metal. The metal matrix 1 can also be made of other various metal structural materials.
In one embodiment, the thermal barrier coating 2 is prepared by plasma spraying and the metal substrate 1 is prepared by 3D printing. Thereby facilitating the production.
The invention also provides a strengthening method of the interface between the thermal barrier coating and the metal matrix, and the strengthening structure of the interface between the thermal barrier coating and the metal matrix is used;
after the combination of the metal matrix 1 and the thermal barrier coating 2, on the basis of ensuring the performance of the original thermal barrier coating 2, the method comprises the following steps:
The thermal barrier coating 2 is combined with the concave cambered surface 111, so that shear stress generated at the joint interface of the metal substrate 1 and the thermal barrier coating 2 due to the difference of expansion coefficients is decomposed, and a component force in the direction perpendicular to the interface and a component force in the direction along the interface are decomposed, thereby greatly reducing the shear stress in the parallel direction and inhibiting the growth of transverse cracks;
The thermal barrier coating 2 is combined with the concave cambered surface 111, so that the area of a connecting interface of the metal substrate 1 and the thermal barrier coating 2 is increased, the overall stressed area is increased, the strain tolerance of the thermal barrier coating 2 is improved, and the growth of transverse cracks is inhibited;
the outer side edges 112 of adjacent concave cambered surfaces 111 form peak structures, and stress and crack propagation caused by thermal strain are restrained.
The invention also provides a method for determining the size of the reinforced interface, referring to fig. 3, wherein r is the radius of the concave cambered surface, alpha is half radian angle, h1 is the thickness of the thin point of the metal matrix, h2 is the thickness of the thick point of the metal matrix, and the height difference of the reinforced interface,。
The size determining method comprises the following steps:
Radius r of concave arc surface 111:
The radius r of the concave arc surface 111 of the strengthening interface 11 is mainly determined according to the thickness of the thermal barrier coating 2. The radius r of the concave cambered surface 111 is one of the main influencing parameters of the height difference of the strengthening interface 11 and the volume change of the metal matrix 1, and needs to be considered according to the desired increase of the reusability and the acceptable balance of weight gain. The thickness of the ceramic layer and the bonding layer of the thermal barrier coating 2 is l, and the radius r of the concave cambered surface 111 is generally 7 l-70 l.
Side length d of outer side edge 112:
Since the concave arc surface 111 is a spherical crown structure, and the outer side 112 is square, the four sides of the outer side 112 are d. The weight gain influence caused by the radian of the concave cambered surface 111 and the acceptable height difference of the strengthening interface is comprehensively determined, and the general value range d is more than 3l and d is less than r.
Weight gain of metal matrix 1:
The weight gain of the metal matrix 1 is calculated by the following procedure:
Half radian angle α:
;
Height difference of reinforced interface:
;
single strengthening interface 11 volume increment:
;
the weight gain calculation formula of the single metal matrix 1 is as follows:
;
Where ρ is the metal matrix material density.
According to the above-mentioned method for determining the size of the reinforced interface, four test pieces were determined, in which the entire side length was 21.6mm and the metal base 1 was a stainless steel test piece having a thickness of 3.7 mm. The side length d=7.2 mm of the single reinforced interface 11, the radii r of the concave cambered surfaces 111 of the four test blocks are respectively 0mm, 10mm, 30mm and 50mm, wherein r=0 is a flat plate coating control group, and the model is shown in fig. 4 by taking r=10 mm test blocks as an example.
The yttrium-stabilized zirconia thermal barrier coating with the thickness of l=1.5 mm is obtained on the connecting interface of the metal matrix 1 by adopting conventional plasma spraying, and a test block before testing is shown in fig. 5.
The four test blocks were kept at 1200 ℃ in a muffle furnace for 10min and then quickly put into water. And testing the thermal shock times required by the falling of each test block. The morphology of the block after the test is shown in fig. 6, and the red number is the number of times of thermal shock test.
The results of each test are counted as follows:
The test shows that the invention can obtain the remarkable improvement of the thermal shock performance on the premise of increasing the tiny weight of the metal matrix 1, and can obtain the 3-time improvement of the thermal shock performance when the arc surface radius of 7 times of the coating thickness and the side length of 5 times of the partition grid are adopted. When the radius of the cambered surface is relaxed to 33 times, the thermal shock performance of 2 times can still be obtained, and the metal matrix 1 only has a weight gain of about 2.21%.
The weight increase of the metal matrix 1 is mainly dominated by the side length of the outer side 112 and the radius r of the concave cambered surface 111, and the calculation result shows that when the radius r of the concave cambered surface 111 is more than 4 times of the side length of the outer side 112, the weight increase of the metal matrix 1 is greatly reduced and tends to be stable, so that the value range of the radius r of the concave cambered surface 111 is 4d-10d.
