Abstract
A new nanostructured ZrB2-ZrC composite coating with ZrB2-ZrC nanoscale eutectic and ZrB2+Amorphous microstructure was synthesized in situ by plasma spraying Zr-B4C-Al composite powder. The thermal analysis, quenching experiments and microstructure characterization were investigated and the formation mechanism of the bimodal in-situ microstructure was revealed. Al contributed to the liquid phase separation of molten droplets, which is the key to forming ZrB2+Amorphous microstructure. The formation of coating followed reaction-melting-liquid separation-deposition and solidification mechanism. The nanostructured ZrB2-ZrC composite coating with Al-O intergranular amorphous phase has excellent mechanical properties. The uniform nano-grains improved the hardness and the toughness of the ZrB2-ZrC eutectic. The ZrB2+Al-O amorphous microstructure obtained high toughness and the toughening mechanism was the crack deflection and crack branching caused by intergranular Al-O amorphous phase.
