Fabrication and analysis of nano-structured thermal spraying feeds

摘要

A kind of thermal spray nanostructured Al2O3 and TiO2 feeds fabricating technology was investigated.Agglomerated nanogranules prepared by spray drying were heat treated in order to be dense, and there were two sintering technologies used, i.e. high temperature electric furnace sintering and high velocity flame sintering, respectively. The results indicate feeds phase components using high temperature electric furnace sintering at 1 200 ℃,1 300 ℃ and 1 400 ℃ do not change, and grain sizes of nano-Al2O3 and TiO2 grow little at 1 200 ℃ and 1 300 ℃,while grain sizes of nano-Al2O3 and TiO2 grow obviously, and the grain size of nano-TiO2 is larger than 100 nm at 1400 ℃. Phase components of the feeds using high velocity flame sintering change, where α-Al2O3 changes to γ-Al2O3 and rutile TiO2 changes to brookite TiO2, though grain size of nano-Al2O3 does not grow and is less than 100 nm because cooling velocity is too quick. Compared with these two heat treatment technology, the technology using electric furnace to treat nanostructured Al2O3 and TiO2 feeds is more suitable.
