FGM Architecture with Heat-Resistant Properties

Abstract

A composite laminated heat-resistant material was manufactured by the method of spark plasma sintering. The architecture of a bonding layer between a substrate made of a heat-resistant superalloy and a ceramic coating containing sublayers of the intermetallic NiAl and a mixture of NiAl with 15 or 30 wt. % zirconia (8YSZ) is proposed. In a layered composite, the microhardness and thermal conductivity change monotonically on going from the substrate to the outer ceramic. The coefficient of linear thermal expansion of the bonding layer is close to that for ceramics in the operating temperature range.
