Plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coating (TBC) systems are widely used in gas turbine blades to increase turbine entry temperature (TET) and better efficiency. Yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) has been the conventional thermal barrier coating material because of its low thermal conductivity, relative high thermal expansion coefficient and good corrosion resistance. However the YSZ coatings can hardly fulfill the harsh requirements in future for higher reliability and the lower thermal conductivity at higher temperatures. Among the interesting TBC candidates, materials with pyrochlore structure show promising thermo-physical properties for use at temperatures exceeding 1200 °C. Sm2Zr2O7 bulk material does not only have high temperature stability, sintering resistance but also lower thermal conductivity and higher thermal expansion coefficient. The sintering characteristics of ceramic thermal barrier coatings under high temperature conditions are complex phenomena. In this paper, samarium zirconate (Sm2Zr2O7, SZ) powder and coatings were prepared by solid state reaction and atmosphere plasma spraying process, respectively. The microstructure development of coatings derived from sintering after heat-treated at 1200–1500 °C for 50 h have been investigated. The microstructure was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the grain growth was analyzed in this paper as well.

Bimetallic Plate

Abstract Two Alloy N/316H bimetallic plates have been fabricated by explosive welding and rolling technologies respectively. Metallographic observations indicate that the rolled bimetallic plate has a straight bond interface, in which some cavities and precipitates exist. While the explosive welded plate shows a wavy bond interfaces. The interface thermal expansion mismatch between the two alloys were evaluated in the two plates at high temperature. Results show that the thermal expansion coefficient of 316H is larger than that of Alloy N. The thermal expansion coefficient of the substrate plates depends on the thickness ratio between Alloy N and 316H, which reaches the maximum when the ratio is 1:4.

Zirconium Tungstate

In this paper, zirconium tungstate ceramic with negative thermal expansion coefficients was prepared from zirconium oxide and tungstic acid by solid phase synthesis and high temperature quenching technique with a sintering temperature of 1200 °C. The phase structure of the material was determined by X ray and the thermal expansion coefficient was measured by dilatometer, while the TG-DTA analysis of the prepared material was also carried out. The results showed that zirconium tungstate with high purity could be obtained by rapid chilled while fired at 1200 °C. The coefficient of thermal expansion at 300 °C was minus 8.5413 × 10-6K-1, which is identical with the theoretical value. The thermal expansion coefficient of the material was negative fired lower than 750 °C, while it was positive fired higher than 750 °C, and this indicates that the decomposition temperature of zirconium tungstate is about 750 °C.

Nickel Silicides

AbstractFirst-principles calculations are performed to investigate lattice parameters, elastic constants and 3D directional Young’s modulus E of nickel silicides (i.e., β-Ni_3Si, δ-Ni_2Si, θ-Ni_2Si, ε-NiSi, and θ-Ni_2Si), and thermodynamic properties, such as the Debye temperature, heat capacity, volumetric thermal expansion coefficient, at finite temperature are also explored in combination with the quasi-harmonic Debye model. The calculated results are in a good agreement with available experimental and theoretical values. The five compounds demonstrate elastic anisotropy. The dependence on the direction of stiffness is the greatest for δ-Ni_2Si and θ-Ni_2Si, when the stress is applied, while that for β-Ni_3Si is minimal. The bulk modulus B reduces with increasing temperature, implying that the resistance to volume deformation will weaken with temperature, and the capacity gradually descend for the compound sequence of β-Ni_3Si > δ-Ni_2Si > θ-Ni_2Si > ε-NiSi > θ-Ni_2Si. The temperature dependence of the Debye temperature ΘD is related to the change of lattice parameters, and ΘD gradually decreases for the compound sequence of ε-NiSi > β-Ni_3Si > δ-Ni_2Si > θ-Ni_2Si > θ-Ni_2Si. The volumetric thermal expansion coefficient αV, isochoric heat capacity and isobaric heat capacity C _ p of nickel silicides are proportional to T ^3 at low temperature, subsequently, αV and C _ p show modest linear change at high temperature, whereas C _v obeys the Dulong-Petit limit. In addition, β-Ni_3Si has the largest capability to store or release heat at high temperature. From the perspective of solid state physics, the thermodynamic properties at finite temperature can be used to guide further experimental works and design of novel nickel–silicon alloys.
