采用磁控溅射法成功制备Al2O3/Au层状复合纳米涂层,所制备的涂层结构致密且由Al2O3层和Au层交替组成。采用高温循环氧化实验对复合涂层在不锈钢基体上的高温抗氧化性能进行分析评价。结果表明:Al2O3/Au层状复合纳米涂层极大地改善不锈钢基体的抗氧化和抗剥落性能。其抗氧化机理与涂层能够有效地抑制氧向合金基体的扩散并促进不锈钢基体中Cr元素的选择性氧化有关;抗剥落机理可归因于复合涂层中的Au层和纳米结构的Al2O3层能够有效地松弛高温热循环过程中产生的热应力,从而提高涂层的抗剥落性能。
Al2O3/Au nano-laminated composite coatings were prepared by means of magnetron sputtering. The coating was compact and comprised of nano-laminated Al2O3 and Au layers. High temperature cyclic oxidation test was employed to investigate the oxidation resistance of the composite coatings. The results revealed that the applied Al2O3/Au nano-laminated composite coatings improved the oxidation and spallation resistance of the stainless steel substrate significantly. The mechanism accounting for oxidation resistance was related with the suppression of inward oxygen diffusion and selective oxidation of Cr in the substrate. The mechanism accounting for spallation resistance was attributed to the relaxation of thermal stress by the nano-laminated structure.
