Corrosion Resistance of Plasma Sprayed Ceramic Composite Coatings on Q235 Substrate

The corrosion resistance of SiO2/A12O3, TiO2/Al2O3 and (SiO2+TiO2)/Al2O3 ceramic composite coatings on Q235 substrate fabricated by means of plasma spraying was investigated. The results show that A12O3+13 wt pct TiO2 ceramic coating has the highest density, the lowest connected porosity and the best corrosion resistance. The corrosion mechanism of Q235 with ceramic coating has also been studied.

Microstructure and properties evolution of plasma sprayed Al_(2)O_(3)-Y_(2)O_(3) composite coatings during high temperature and thermal shock treatment

Al_(2)O_(3)-Y_(2)O_(3) composite powder with TiO_(2) additive was plasma sprayed to prepare Al_(2)O_(3)-Y_(2)O_(3) composite coatings.The micro structure and properties evolution of the Al_(2)O_(3)-Y_(2)O_(3) coatings during high temperature and thermal shock resistance were investigated.The results show that the micro structure of the Al_(2)O_(3)-Y_(2)O_(3)-TiO_(2) coating is more uniform than that of the Al_(2)O_(3)-Y_(2)O_(3) coating.Meanwhile,amorphous phase is formed in the two coatings.The Al_(2)O_(3)-Y_(2)O_(3)(-TiO_(2)) coatings were heat treated for 2 h at temperatures of 800,1000 and 1200℃,respectively.It is found that the microstructure and properties of the two coatings have no obvious change at 800℃.Some of the amorphous phase is crystallized at1000℃,and meanwhile Y_(2)O_(3) and Al_(2)O_(3) react to form YAG phase and YAM phase.At 1200℃,all of the amorphous phases are crystallized.After heat treatment,the micro hardness of the two coatings is increased.The thermal shock resistance of the Al_(2)O_(3)-Y_(2)O_(3) system coatings can be improved by using TC4 titanium alloy as substrate and with NiCrAlY bonding layer.Moreover,the Al_(2)O_(3)-Y_(2)O_(3)-TiO_(2) coating exhibits better thermal shock resistance due to the addition of TiO_(2).
