[Patent Document 2] Japanese Unexamined Patent Application, First Publication No. 2016-199783
A raw ceramic powder whose average particle size is small may be used to form a dense coating using a coating method such as the AD method disclosed in Patent Document 1 or the cold spray method disclosed in Patent Document 2. However, when the raw ceramic powder whose average particle size is smaller than or equal to 10 μm is used, a cohesive property of the raw ceramic powder may be increased, and the raw ceramic powder may cohere inside the apparatus.
To prevent cohesion of this raw ceramic powder, for example, there is a method of mixing an additive such as a dispersant for inhibiting the cohesion into the raw ceramic powder. However, when this additive is mixed into the raw ceramic powder, there is a problem in that the additive as a foreign substance is contained in the formed coating, and quality of the coating is deteriorated.
This invention was made in view of these conventional circumstances, and is directed to providing a coating apparatus and a coating method capable of improving the quality of a coating while inhibiting cohesion of a raw ceramic powder.
To solve the above problem, this invention adopts the following constitutions.
According to a first aspect of this invention, a coating apparatus includes: a mixer configured to generate a mixed ceramic powder in which a material containing an organic compound that imparts lubricity to a raw ceramic powder whose average particle size is smaller than or equal to 10 μm and acting as an additive is mixed into the raw ceramic powder; a jetting device configured to jet the mixed ceramic powder toward a surface of a base material; and a heating device configured to heat the mixed ceramic powder jetted from the jetting device, and to evaporate the organic compound of the additive contained in the mixed ceramic powder.
With this constitution, in the case where the raw ceramic powder whose average particle size is smaller than or equal to 10 μm is used, lubricity can be imparted to the raw ceramic powder by the additive. For this reason, cohesion of the mixed ceramic powder in which the additive is mixed into the raw ceramic powder can be inhibited. Furthermore, since the organic compound of the additive contained in the mixed ceramic powder jetted from the jetting device can be evaporated by the heating device, the organic compound can be inhibited from being contained in the ceramic coating formed on the surface of the base material.
Therefore, the quality of the coating can be improved while inhibiting cohesion of the raw ceramic powder.
According to a second aspect of this invention, the heating device according to the first aspect may heat the mixed ceramic powder jetted toward the surface of the base material by the jetting device before the jetted mixed ceramic powder reaches the surface of the base material, and evaporate the organic compound of the additive contained in the mixed ceramic powder.
According to a third aspect of this invention, an average particle size of the additive according to the first or second aspect may be smaller than or equal to 10 nm.
With this constitution, the lubricity imparted by the additive can be further improved.
According to a fourth aspect of this invention, the raw ceramic powder according to the third aspect may contain at least yttria-stabilized zirconia.
With this constitution, the quality of the coating containing the yttria-stabilized zirconia can be improved.
According to a fifth aspect of this invention, the additive according to the third or fourth aspect may contain globular silica and the organic compound provided on a surface of the globular silica.
With this constitution, lubricity can be imparted by the organic compound. Furthermore, since the organic compound is formed on the surface of the globular silica, a percentage at which the organic compound is contained in the additive can be made smaller than the case where the entire additive is the organic compound. Therefore, the additive can be easily evaporated by the heating device.
According to a sixth aspect of this invention, the organic compound according to the fifth aspect may be phenylsilane, and the additive may be formed by surface-treating the phenylsilane on the globular silica through a coupling reaction.
With this constitution, lubricity can be imparted by the phenylsilane. Furthermore, since the phenylsilane is formed on the surface of the globular silica, a percentage at which the phenylsilane is contained in the additive can be made smaller than the case where the entire additive is the phenylsilane. Therefore, the additive can be easily evaporated by the heating device.
According to a seventh aspect of this invention, a coating method includes: a mixed ceramic powder-generating process of mixing a material containing an organic compound that imparts lubricity and acting as an additive into a raw ceramic powder whose average particle size is smaller than or equal to 10 μm to generate a mixed ceramic powder; and a jet evaporating process of jetting the mixed ceramic powder toward a surface of a base material, and heating the jetted mixed ceramic powder to evaporate the organic compound contained in the additive.
With this constitution, in the case where the raw ceramic powder whose average particle size is smaller than or equal to 10 μm is used, lubricity can be imparted to the raw ceramic powder by the additive. For this reason, cohesion of the mixed ceramic powder in which the additive is mixed into the raw ceramic powder can be inhibited. Furthermore, since the mixed ceramic powder is jetted and the organic compound of the additive can be evaporated, the organic compound can be inhibited from being contained in the ceramic coating formed on the surface of the base material.
Therefore, the quality of the coating can be improved while inhibiting cohesion of the raw ceramic powder.
According to an eighth aspect of this invention, the raw ceramic powder according to the seventh aspect may contain at least yttria-stabilized zirconia.
According to a ninth aspect of this invention, the additive according to the seventh aspect may be phenylsilane, and the additive may be formed by surface-treating the phenylsilane on the globular silica through a coupling reaction.
According to a tenth aspect of this invention, the organic compound according to the ninth aspect may be phenylsilane, and the additive may be formed by surface-treating the phenylsilane on the globular silica through a coupling reaction.
According to an eleventh aspect of this invention, a coating method includes: mixing a material containing an organic compound that imparts lubricity and acting as an additive into a raw ceramic powder whose average particle size is smaller than or equal to 10 μm to generate a mixed ceramic powder; jetting the mixed ceramic powder toward a surface of a base material; heating the jetted mixed ceramic powder before the jetted mixed ceramic powder reaches the base material; evaporating and removing the organic compound contained in the additive of the mixed ceramic powder before the mixed ceramic powder reaches the base material; and causing the mixed ceramic powder from which the organic compound is removed to collide with the base material to form a coating.
According to the coating apparatus and the coating method, the quality of the coating can be improved while inhibiting cohesion of the ceramic powder serving as a raw material.
Next, a coating apparatus in a first embodiment of this invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the first embodiment, the coating apparatus for forming a coating using a cold spray method will be described by way of example.
As illustrated in
The powder supply device 10 supplies a mixed ceramic powder P3 in which a raw ceramic powder P1 and an additive P2 are mixed to a jetting device 20. The powder supply device 10 includes a mixer 11 and a carrier gas supply unit 12.
The mixer 11 mixes the additive P2 with the raw ceramic powder P1, and generates the mixed ceramic powder P3. The mixer 11 has an internal space A that can contain the raw ceramic powder P1 and the additive P2, and can agitate the powder contained in the internal space A. Further, the mixer 11 is connected to the jetting device 20 via a carrier pipe 13 that carries the mixed ceramic powder P3 using a carrier gas G1 (to be described below), and can deliver the mixed ceramic powder P3 to the jetting device 20 along with the carrier gas G1.
As the raw ceramic powder P1 contained in the mixer 11, for example, a powder whose average particle size is smaller than or equal to 10 μm can be used. Furthermore, the raw ceramic powder P1 may be a powder whose average particle size ranges from 10 nm to 10 μm. As the raw ceramic powder P1, for example, yttria-stabilized zirconia (ZrO2-8 wt. % Y2O3), aluminum oxide (alumina), silica, titanium oxide (titania), or a mixture thereof may be used.
The additive P2 is formed of a material including an organic compound that imparts lubricity to the raw ceramic powder P1. As the additive P2, for example, an additive having an average particle size that is smaller than or equal to that of the raw ceramic powder P1 can be used. Furthermore, as the additive P2, for example, an additive whose average particle size is smaller than or equal to 10 nm can be used. As the additive P2, for example, an additive in which a globular ceramic powder (for example, globular silica) is coated with an organic compound (for example, phenylsilane) having a phenyl group by a coupling reaction can be used. The aforementioned “average particle size” is a value when an integration % of particle size distribution measured by a laser diffraction type particle size distribution measurement method is 50% (a median diameter of D50).
Here, in the case where the raw ceramic powder P1 is yttria-stabilized zirconia and the additive P2 contains globular silica, allowable strain of the formed coating varies depending on a percentage at which the globular silica is included. For this reason, a percentage occupied by the additive P2 in the mixed ceramic powder P3 need only be set to a percentage at which the allowable strain of the coating is not less than interfacial strain between a base material B and a coating formed on the base material B.
In
As illustrated in
The jetting device 20 jets the mixed ceramic powder P3 toward a surface of the base material B. To be more specific, the jetting device 20 includes an acceleration nozzle such as a de Laval nozzle. The jetting device 20 is adopted such that the working gas is supplied from a working gas supply source (not shown). The jetting device 20 can accelerate the working gas G2, for example, to a supersonic velocity or the like using the acceleration nozzle. The jetting device 20 joins the mixed ceramic powder P3 with the accelerated working gas G2, and jets the mixed ceramic powder P3 along with the working gas G2.
The heating device 30 heats the mixed ceramic powder P3 jetted from the jetting device 20, and evaporates only an organic compound (an organic compound coating) of the additive P2 included in the mixed ceramic powder P3. Various types of heating devices 30 can be used as the heating device 30, such as a type in which a powder is heated by an arc or plasma. Here, evaporation of the raw ceramic powder P1 and the globular ceramic powder included in the additive P2 starts at a lower temperature than that of the organic compound coating of the globular ceramic powder. For this reason, a temperature to which the mixed ceramic powder P3 is heated by the heating device 30 is lower than that at which evaporation of the raw ceramic powder P1 and the globular ceramic powder starts, and need only be set to a temperature which is higher than a boiling point of the organic compound coating and at which the organic compound coating can be evaporated. It can be said that the temperature at which the organic compound coating can be evaporated is a temperature at which the organic compound coating can be removed from the mixed ceramic powder P3 by evaporating the organic compound coating.
A ceramic powder P4 from which the organic compound of the additive P2 is evaporated by passing through the heating device 30 collides with the base material B at a high speed, and thereby forms a ceramic coating C on the base material B.
The coating apparatus 100 in the first embodiment has the aforementioned constitution. Next, a coating method using the coating apparatus 100 will be described with reference to the drawings.
As illustrated in
Next, a jet evaporating process (step S02) is performed. In the jet evaporating process, the mixed ceramic powder P3 is jetted toward the surface of the base material B at a high speed, and the jetted mixed ceramic powder P3 is heated to evaporate the organic compound contained in the additive P2. In this case, the carrier gas G1 that carries the mixed ceramic powder P3 is joined to the working gas G2 for jetting the mixed ceramic powder P3 from a nozzle of the jetting device 20.
The mixed ceramic powder P3 is jetted from the nozzle of the jetting device 20 by the working gas G2 after the carrier gas G1 is joined. The mixed ceramic powder P3 is heated by the heating device 30 simultaneously with or directly after the jetting, and the organic compound contained in the additive P2 is evaporated and removed. Here, vapor of the evaporated organic compound may be discharged from a discharge port (not shown) or the like that is provided separately from a jet orifice of the nozzle.
Afterward, a ceramic powder P4 from which the organic compound is evaporated and removed collides with the base material B to generate a coating C.
The aforementioned jet evaporating process (step S02) includes four processes (steps S11 to S14) of
Therefore, according to the coating apparatus and the coating method of the first embodiment described above, in the case where the raw ceramic powder P1 whose average particle size is smaller than or equal to 10 μm is used, the lubricity can be imparted to the raw ceramic powder P1 by the additive P2. For this reason, the cohesion of the mixed ceramic powder P3 in which the additive P2 is mixed into the raw ceramic powder P1 can be inhibited. For this reason, cohesion of a powder occurring in the inside or the like of the carrier pipe 13 between the mixer 11 and the jetting device 20 and causing, for example, stoppage of the apparatus can be inhibited.
Furthermore, only the organic compound of the additive P2 contained in the mixed ceramic powder P3 jetted from the jetting device 20 can be evaporated by the heating device 30. For this reason, the organic compound can be inhibited from being contained in the ceramic coating formed on the surface of the base material B.
As a result, the quality of the coating can be improved while inhibiting the cohesion of the raw ceramic powder P1.
Further, by setting the average particle size of the additive P2 to 10 nm or smaller, the additive P2 can be made sufficiently smaller than the raw ceramic powder P1. For this reason, the lubricity imparted by the additive P2 can be further improved.
Furthermore, in the case where the raw ceramic powder P1 contains at least yttria-stabilized zirconia, the coating C containing the yttria-stabilized zirconia can be densely formed to improve quality.
Moreover, phenylsilane is surface-treated on globular silica by a coupling reaction, and thereby lubricity can be imparted to the globular silica by the phenylsilane. Furthermore, since the phenylsilane is formed on a surface of the globular silica, a percentage at which phenylsilane is contained in the additive P2 can be made smaller than the case where the entire additive P2 is phenylsilane. As a result, the additive P2 can be easily evaporated by the heating device 30.
Next, examples based on the aforementioned coating method will be described.

(Cohesive Property)
In Examples 1 to 5, when the coating was continuously formed, the mixed ceramic powder P3 did not cohere, a good carried state was maintained, and the coating could be continuously formed.
(Quality of Coating)
In Examples 1 to 5, when the cross section of the coating formed on the thermal barrier coating was observed, a dense ceramic coating whose porosity was less than 1% was confirmed.
That is, in Examples 1 to 5, both the cohesive property and the quality of the coating were good.
Next, a second embodiment of this invention will be described. In the second embodiment, the case where a range of the additive rate of the additive P2 of the first embodiment described above depends on interfacial strain will be given as an example. For this reason, in the description of the second embodiment, the same portions as in the first embodiment are given the same reference signs, and detailed description overlapping with that of the first embodiment will be omitted.
As in the first embodiment, the “interfacial strain” shown in
εi=εf−εs=ΔT(αf−αs) (1)
Here, “αf” is a linear expansion coefficient (1/K) of the coating C, and “αs” is a linear expansion coefficient (1/K) of the surface layer of the base material B. “AT” is an amount of change in a temperature (for example, from room temperature to about 700° C.) within a usage environment temperature of the coating C.
The linear expansion coefficient of the coating C can be expressed by Equation (2) below.
αf=αaX+αs(1−X) (2)
Here, “αa” is a linear expansion coefficient (1/K) of the additive P2, and “X” is an additive rate (%) of the additive P2.
As illustrated in
The coating efficiency (vs 0 wt. %, and indicated by an alternate long and two short dashes line in
For example, in the case where the allowable strain is set to 0.060% as an allowable range of the quality (durability) of the coating C, the additive rate of the additive P2 becomes 3.80 wt. % or lower. Here, the allowable strain is an upper limit of the interfacial strain. The allowable strain value of 0.060% is a value obtained by a heat cycle durability test, and is an upper limit of the allowable strain which can inhibit the coating C from being peeled off to an allowable extent.
In the case where the allowable strain is set to 0.023%, the additive rate of the additive P2 becomes 1.31 wt. % or lower. The allowable strain value of 0.023% is also a value obtained by the heat cycle durability test. The allowable strain of 0.023% is an upper limit of the allowable strain for preventing the coating from being peeled off. In other words, the value is an upper limit of the range of the interfacial strain which makes the quality (durability) of the coating C more reliable.
For example, if the additive rate of the additive P2 (silica whose particle size is 10 nm) to the raw ceramic powder P1 (whose average particle size is 3 μm) is set to 3.80 wt. % or lower, the coating efficiency can be improved, and the quality (durability) of the coating C can be set within an allowable range.
Furthermore, the additive rate of the additive P2 (silica whose particle size is 10 nm) to the raw ceramic powder P1 (whose average particle size is 3 μm) is set to 0.75 wt. % or higher and 1.31 wt. % or lower, and thereby the quality (durability) of the coating C can be made more reliable while securing a two-fold or more coating efficiency.
Next, a third embodiment of this invention will be described. In the third embodiment, the case where the range of the additive rate of the additive P2 of the first embodiment described above depends on a relationship between the interfacial strain and the adhesive force will be given as an example. For this reason, in the description of the third embodiment, the same portions as in the first embodiment are given the same reference signs, and detailed description overlapping with that of the first embodiment will be omitted.
Here, as in the first embodiment, “adhesive force” shown in
The interfacial strain shown in
As illustrated in
For example, in the case where an upper limit of the adhesive force (hereinafter referred to as allowable adhesive force) is 2.5 kPa in order to set the occurrence of a phenomenon such as clogging or pulsation in the apparatus within an allowable range, the additive rate of the additive P2 is 0.1 wt. % or higher.
Further, in the case where the allowable adhesive force is 2.0 kPa in order to secure a reliable supply more without causing the phenomenon such as clogging or pulsation in the apparatus, the additive rate of the additive P2 is 0.75 wt. % or higher.
For example, if the additive rate of the additive P2 (silica whose particle size is 10 nm) to the raw ceramic powder P1 (whose average particle size is 3 μm) is set to 0.10 wt. % or higher, the cohesion of the mixed ceramic powder P3 is inhibited, and the occurrence of the phenomenon such as clogging or pulsation in the apparatus resulting from low fluidity of the mixed ceramic powder P3 can be set within the allowable range.
Further, if the additive rate of the additive P2 to the raw ceramic powder P1 is set to 0.75 wt. % or higher (adhesive force of 2 kPa or lower) and 1.31 wt. % or lower (interfacial strain of 0.023% or lower), the supply stability of the mixed ceramic powder P3 can be secured without the occurrence of the phenomenon such as clogging or pulsation in the apparatus resulting from low fluidity of the mixed ceramic powder P3. In addition, since the interfacial strain can be inhibited, conditions of the quality (durability) of the coating C can be satisfied more reliably.
This invention is not limited to the constitution of each of the aforementioned embodiments, and enables a change in design without departing from the gist or teaching thereof.
For example, the case where the coating is formed by the cold spray method has been described in each of the aforementioned embodiments, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, other cold spray methods such as an aerosol deposition method, a powder jet deposition method, and so on may be applied.
Further, in each of the aforementioned embodiments, a coating method performed without melting the raw ceramic powder P1 has been described by way of example, but the raw ceramic powder P1 may be slightly melted.
While preferred embodiments of the invention have been described and illustrated above, it should be understood that these are exemplary of the invention and are not to be considered as limiting. Additions, omissions, substitutions, and other modifications can be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the invention is not to be considered as being limited by the foregoing description, and is only limited by the scope of the appended claims.
