Abstract
The order-disorder transition (ODT) of RE zirconate (RE2Zr2O7) has received much attention due to its potential applications in the design of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs). A series of high entropy RE zirconates (RE = La, Sm, Gd, Er and Lu) were designed and synthesized in order to regulate the fluorite-pyrochlore phases, and to investigate the effect of phase composition on the microstructures and performances. The results showed that the sintering temperature, as well as equivalent ion radius, played an important role in regulating the phase transformation of fluorite-pyrochlore. The coexistence of pyrochlore-fluorite phases not only can result in the decrease in grain size but also increased the lattice strain of each phase, thereby enhancing the phonon scattering and contributing to the reduction in the thermal conductivity. The CMAS corrosion resistance was mainly related to phase compositions, and the thicknesses of reaction layer decreased gradually with the increasing fluorite phase content. The results will provide theoretical guidance for the microstructural design of high entropy RE zirconates as next generation TBC materials in future.
