Abstract: A coupled and uncoupled non-linear thermomechanical finite element analysis using ANSYS have been carried out to analyze the heat transfer and associated thermal stresses during different simulated thermal shock processes, and the results of two analyses are discussed. It indicates that piezocaloric effect can be neglect when thermal shock intensity is mild and piezocaloric effect should be taken into account when thermal shock intensity is severe.

Abstract: Using the development tool C++ Builder and adopting object oriented programming method, the ceramic/metal gradient thermal barrier coating design software (CCDS) is developed according to software engineering criterion. The CCDS, which has user-friendly interface, is composed of three functional modules: preprocess module, analysis module and post process module. In addition, this software is attached with an optimal design module and an expert module. The calculation and design of the ceramic/metal gradient thermal barrier coating can be carried out by the CCDS, and the numerical results show good agreement with the analytical results.

Abstract: The air plasma spray (APS) technology was used to prepare WC/NiCrAl and WC/NiCrBSi ceramic/metal composite wear preventive coating on cast iron substrate. The microstructure, microhardness, bond strength and slurry wear preventive performance of coating was measured. The results revealed that all of the coating prepared by APS has good qualities. The coating with NiCrBSi as its combining metal is better than that with NiCrAl on wear preventive performance, and coating containing more WC is supreme than that containing less WC. Finally, wear mechanics and the principle of the coating’s wear preventive property was concluded.

Abstract: Four Coating schemes and two substrate materials are designed to evaluate the characteristics of the ceramic/metal gradient thermal barrier coating. The gradient coating is successfully prepared by plasma spray with single torch and single feeder. The coating performance is evaluated by observing microstructure, measuring thermal shock resistance and thermal residual stress. The coating microstructure is observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Diffractive peaks for the gradient coating are got at different zone by X-ray spectroscopy (XRS). The thermal shock experiment shows that the thermal shock resistance property of the gradient coating is better than that of the non-gradient coating. The measurements of thermal residual stresses in different coating schemes are carried out by hole-drilling method, the results show that compressional stress presents on 1Cr18Ni9Ti substrate and tensile stress presents on 2Cr13 substrate.

Abstract: In this paper, the lower and upper bounds of Young’s modulus and Poisson ratio are determined by the effective stress method and effective strain method from material mechanics. The effective heat flux method based on the hypothesis of equivalent temperature difference and the effective temperature difference method based on the hypothesis of equivalent heat flux are proposed, the lower and upper bounds of the thermal conductivity of ceramic/metal composite material are determined similarly. The result shows that the property values of ceramic/metal composites calculated from current theoretical property formulas are within the lower and upper bounds determined by the above methods.

Abstract: A thermal shock experiment is designed to explore the thermal shock properties of ceramic/metal gradient thermal barrier coating. The specimens are heated up by oxygen-acetylene flame and cooled by water spray. The experiment procedure includes two stages, heating the specimen from the initial temperature 30°C for 40s, and then cooling for 20s. The heat transfer and the associated thermal stresses produced during the thermal shock procedure are simulated by finite element method. Experimental results indicated that the specimen of gradient coating behaves better in thermal shock experiments, which agree with the results of simulation.

Abstract: A kind of gradient thermal and environmental barrier coating applied in internal combustion engine is brought forward to improve its reliability, emission and efficiency. The multi-layer plate and cylinder models are established for the simulations of heat transfer and thermal stress in the coatings. Both the theoretical and the numerical analysis with multi-layer cylinder model with coating inside are carried out and compared. The results show good agreement.
