Abstract
The present study aims to investigate non-stoichiometric Al1.4Co2.1Cr0.7Ni2.45Si0.2Ti0.14 high entropy alloy (HEA) as a bond coat material for the TBC (Thermal Barrier Coating) system. The mechanical activated synthesized HEA was sprayed on a Ni-based superalloy substrate by High-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) spraying, and 8 mol% Yttria Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) was deposited on HEA by Air Plasma Spray (APS). X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) were used to investigate the phases and microstructure of the as-synthesized HEA powder, Ni superalloy/HEA-bond coat, and Ni superalloy/HEA-bond coat/YSZ topcoat. The mechanical properties of the coating like microhardness, Young’s modulus and residual stress between bond coat and YSZ top coat was evaluated using the Nano-Hardness Tester (NHT). The TBC system was investigated for cyclic oxidation at 1050 ℃ for 100 cycles, and its cross-sections were analyzed for TGO (Thermally grown oxides) layer composition, thickness and interdiffusion of elements. The properties of the TBC system containing HEA as a bond coat were compared with those of the conventional TBC system comprising of MCrAlY (AMDRY 365–4) as a bond coat. It was observed that HEA containing TBC displayed exceptional high temperature properties and were comparable to MCrAlY.
