冷喷涂Ti6Al4V涂层的致密化行为、组织演化及界面优化研究

摘要: 针对目前冷喷涂技术制备Ti6Al4V涂层存在孔隙率高、界面结合强度差的问题,本研究提出了激光和微锻造原位辅助冷喷涂技术的策略,成功制备了高致密度高附着强度的Ti6Al4V涂层,并对涂层的微观组织、界面强化机制、弯曲性能及失效行为进行了系统分析。以N2为推进气体,在载气温度为800°C、载气压力为4 MPa的喷涂参数下,Ti6Al4V涂层的致密度为99.77%,附着强度>68.48 MPa;涂层内部Ti6Al4V粉末发生严重的塑性变形,涂层无明显孔隙缺陷,且涂层与基体间形成了连续且致密的厚度为5–10 μm的扩散层,扩散层主要由α-Ti、β-Ti、TiN、TiC、FeTi和Fe2Ti等相组成,涂层与基体的冶金结合显著提高了涂层的附着力;涂层防护Q235基体的弯曲屈服强度和抗弯强度分别为427.37 MPa和770.76 MPa,与无涂层防护Q235基体相比,Ti6Al4V涂层防护基体的弯曲屈服强度和抗弯强度分别提升41.59%、27.00%,表明涂层的引入可以显著提升基体的抗弯性能;Ti6Al4V涂层横向断口形貌表现出韧性断裂特性,这也是弯曲屈服强度显著提升的原因;涂层与基体间界面的断口形貌为准解理断裂特性,扩散层与基体间较高的结合强度提高了基体的抗弯强度。因此,激光首层辅助和面层微锻造原位辅助冷喷涂为高性能钛基防护涂层的制备提供了可行解决方案。

 

Research on the densification behavior, microstructure evolution and interface optimization of cold-sprayed Ti6Al4V coatings

Abstract: To address the problems of high porosity and poor adhesion strength existing in Ti6Al4V coatings prepared by cold spraying technology, the strategy of in-situ laser and micro-forging assistance for cold spraying was proposed in this study. The Ti6Al4V coatings with high relative density and high adhesion strength were successfully prepared. The microstructure, interfacial strengthening mechanism, bending properties, and failure behavior of the coatings were systematically analyzed. With N2 used as the propelling gas, under the spraying parameters of gas temperature at 800°C and gas pressure at 4 MPa, the Ti6Al4V coatings have achieved a relative density of 99.77% and an adhesion strength exceeding 68.48 MPa. Severe plastic deformation was observed in the Ti6Al4V powder within the coatings. The coatings exhibited no evident porosity defects, and a continuous, dense diffusion layer with a thickness of 5–10 μm was formed between the coating and substrate, primarily composed of α-Ti, β-Ti, TiN, TiC, FeTi, and Fe2Ti phases. The metallurgical bonding between the coating and substrate significantly enhances the adhesion strength of the coatings. The bending yield strength and flexural strength of the coating-protected Q235 substrate are 427.37 and 770.76 MPa, respectively. Compared with the uncoated Q235 substrate, the bending yield strength and flexural strength of the coating-protected Q235 substrate (with the coatings on the bottom) increase by 41.58% and 27.00%, respectively, demonstrating that the introduction of the coatings can significantly enhance the flexural performance of the substrate. The fracture morphology of the Ti6Al4V coatings after the bending test exhibits ductile fracture characteristics, which accounted for the significant improvement in bending yield strength. The interfacial fracture between the coating and substrate shows quasi-cleavage characteristics, and the high bonding strength at the coating-substrate interface contributes to the enhancement of the substrate’s flexural strength. Thus, the in-situ first-layer laser-assisted and subsequent-layer micro-forging-assisted cold spraying has provided a feasible solution for the preparation of high-performance protective titanium-based coatings.
