PDP-1 Oxidation resistance coatings of Ir-Zr and Ir by double glow<br />

plasma, W.P. Wu, Z.F. Chen (zhaofeng_chen@163.com), X.N. Cong,<br />

Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, China<br />

Refractory metals have low coefficients of thermal expansion. The ability of<br />

refractory metals to withstand extreme temperatures without significantly<br />

expanding or softening makes them useful as nozzle inserts in solid or<br />

liquid rocket-motor environments. However, the oxidation resistance for<br />

refractory metals is poor. Iridium (Ir) has a high melting temperature,<br />

excellent chemical compatibility and stability, low oxygen permeability and<br />

good oxidation resistance. Many of features of Ir make itself suitable for<br />

protecting the refractory metals from higher temperature damage and then<br />

have a longer service life. However, Ir does not form a condensed oxide due<br />

to the vapor species. In order to provide enhanced high temperature<br />

protection over a wide range of operating conditions, the refractory metals<br />

could be improved by depositing a graded coating of Ir-Zr. In this article,<br />

the Ir-Zr and Ir coatings were produced on molybdenum substrate by double<br />

glow plasma technology. The structure and composition of the Ir-Zr and Ir<br />

coatings were conformed by SEM, AFM, XRD and EDS. The adhesion<br />

between the coating and the substrate was evaluated by a scratch tester.<br />

Thermal stability and oxidation resistance of Ir-Zr and Ir coatings were<br />

evaluated at high temperature.<br />

PDP-2 A comparative study on hot corrosion resistance of three types<br />

of thermal barrier coatings: YSZ, YSZ/normal Al2O3 and YSZ/nano<br />

Al2O3, M. Daroonparvar (re_dr7@yahoo.com), M.S. Hussain, Universiti<br />

Teknologi, Malaysia<br />

Hot corrosion is one of the principal destructive factors in thermal barrier<br />

coatings (TBCs) at high temperatures. Low quality fuels usually consist of<br />

impurities such as Na and V which can form Na2SO4 and V2O5 salts onto<br />

the turbine blades. Hence, hot corrosion resistance of three types of plasma<br />

sprayed TBCs was investigated: (a) normal YSZ (yttria-stabilized zirconia),<br />

(b) layer composite of (YSZ / normal Al2O3 as an outer layer) and (c) layer<br />

composite of (YSZ/ nano Al2O3 as an outer layer). Hot corrosion tests were<br />

done onto the coatings in molten salts (45%Na2SO4 +55%V2O5) at 1000 0 C<br />

for 52 h. The cracking and the premature spallation were observed in<br />

normal YSZ coating. The formation of monoclinic ZrO2 and YVO4 large<br />

crystals as hot corrosion products caused the degradation of the mentioned<br />

TBC. Although monoclinic ZrO2 and YVO4 crystals had been considerably<br />

reduced in (YSZ / normal Al2O3) in comparison with normal YSZ, YVO4<br />

crystals had main role in creation of micro-cracks in (YSZ / normal Al2O3)<br />

coating. Nano alumina coating as an outer layer in YSZ/ nano Al2O3<br />

significantly reduced the penetration of molten salts into the YSZ layer and<br />

resulted in the further resistance of TBC against hot corrosion, because the<br />

hot corrosion products had been substantially decreased in YSZ/ nano Al2O3<br />

coating in comparison with YSZ/normal Al2O3 and usual YSZ coatings.<br />

PDP-3 Determination of the local mechanical properties and residual<br />

stresses of an a-C:H coating system by nanoindentation and FIB<br />

milling, C. Schmid (christoph.schmid@ww.uni-erlangen.de), V. Maier,<br />

Schaufler, M. Göken, University Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany, K. Durst,<br />

It is a common technique to enhance the adhesion of hydrogenated<br />

amorphous carbon (a-C:H) coatings on steel substrates by applying<br />

adhesion layers based on different elements like Cr or Si. They frequently<br />

show a complex assembly with distinct chemical and mechanical gradients<br />

on a length scale in the submicron range. Therefore a correlation between<br />

the local mechanical properties and the corresponding chemical<br />

composition of these layers is difficult. In this work a Si-based adhesion<br />

layer for a-C:H coatings with a thickness of about 1 µm was investigated.<br />

The coating system was deposited by PECVD and the adhesion layer<br />

consists of a silicon rich layer followed by an adjacent ramp layer with a<br />

graded chemical composition. The adhesion layer was characterized in<br />

terms of microstructure, chemical composition and local mechanical<br />

properties by means of focused ion beam (FIB), auger electron spectroscopy<br />

and nanoindentations. Using the small-angle cross-section method detailed<br />

information on the local mechanical properties as hardness and Young`s<br />

modulus as well as on the chemical composition of the adhesion layer was<br />

obtained. It was found that the mechanical properties are strongly<br />

influenced by the chemistry of the adhesion layer. In addition, residual<br />

stresses in the a-C:H coating were determined by means of FIB and digital<br />

image correlation (DIC). For this a H-bar was FIB milled in the a-C:H<br />

coating which causes the residual stresses to relax locally. By determining<br />

the resulting displacements with DIC and correlating them to an appropriate<br />

finite element analysis the residual stresses can be quantified. For the a-C:H<br />

coating residual compressive stresses of about – 2 GPa were found.<br />

PDP-5 In-Situ TEM Observations of Indenting Deformation and<br />

Fracture of Bone Nanopillars, S.Y. Chang (shouyi@dragon.nchu.edu.tw),<br />

Y.T. Wang, Y.C. Huang, C.M. Chen, National Chung Hsing University,<br />

Clarifying the correlations among the structures, mechanical properties and<br />

deformation and fracture behaviors of hierarchical bone tissue at a<br />

nanometer scale will improve the research in bone nanomechanics and the<br />

development of biomedical coatings and implants. Thus in this study, the<br />

nanostructures of normal and osteoporotic mouse bone were characterized;<br />

nanoscopic deformation and fracture were examined by the in-situ<br />

observations of bone nanopillars under indentations in transmission electron<br />

microscopy. Normal mouse bone comprised densely-packed hydroxyapatite<br />

crystallites and plied collagen fibers, and presented a ductile fracture<br />

toughened by microcracking, crack deflections and ligament bridging.<br />

Lattice distortions and a large number of dislocations that formed in mineral<br />

crystals consumed applied strain energy additionally. Upon osteoporosis,<br />

mouse bone changed to a loose structure with dispersed mineral crystals in<br />

a matrix of ground substance. The loss of collagen fibers, the sliding and<br />

rotations of dispersed crystals and also the intergranular fracture along the<br />

weak matrix led to the brittleness of the osteoporotic bone tissue.<br />

PDP-6 In situ deposition and characterization of B-C-N films, H.<br />

Bilkent University, Turkey<br />

We have deposited and characterized coordination preference in B-C-N<br />

films as a function of deposition parameters using a new multi-chamber<br />

system which allows for the of deposition of coatings in a chamber not only<br />

kept under UHV (~ 10 -10 mbar) conditions, but also enables in situ<br />

characterization. With the help of this system, contamination of freshly<br />

prepared surfaces due to exposure to ambient is eliminated prior to analysis<br />

with a monochromated XPS system (energy resolution < 0.7 eV).<br />

Furthermore, the need for ion-etching for the removal of the contaminated<br />

layers prior to XPS analysis is also eliminated allowing for the direct access<br />

to pristine film surface.<br />

Our results regarding B-C-N films indicated findings contrary to our earlier<br />

ex situ findings. XPS, Raman and FTIR data from depositions carried out<br />

under ex situ conditions suggested increasing the substrate bias and/or<br />

increasing N2 flow rate during depositions triggered formation of an<br />

hexagonal network of well defined separate B-N and C-C dominated<br />

domains. This is generally considered as an evidence for phase segregation.<br />

On the other hand, in situ characterization of B-C-N films deposited with<br />

comparable deposition parameters in the multi-chamber system suggested<br />

the evidence of a significant C-N bonding component. In some cases,<br />

nitrogen coordinated carbon amount is even found to be more than carboncarbon<br />

coordination.<br />

Overall, we have encountered enough evidence to suggest that the local<br />

coordination of atoms in B-C-N films deposited in the UHV chamber and<br />

analyzed in situ are notably different than B-C-N films deposited in a HV<br />

chamber and analyzed ex situ. While our investigations are ongoing to<br />

uncover the possible root causes, we would like to raise the question<br />

regarding whether residual gases in a chamber is a significant player in<br />

defining the final chemistry and structure such as the long standing case of<br />

c-BN deposition.<br />

TSP-1 A route to strong p-doping of epitaxial graphene on SiC, U.<br />

Schwingenschlögl (udo.schwingenschlogl@kaust.edu.sa), Y.C. Cheng, N.<br />

Singh, KAUST, Saudi Arabia<br />

Epitaxial graphene on SiC shows n-type behavior due to interaction with the<br />

SiC substrate. However, for metal-oxide-semiconductor applications, it is<br />

important to induce p-type doping in graphene. Recent work has shown that<br />

an Au layer deposited on a graphene monolayer (GML) develops into an<br />
