Abstract

Based on the diffusion channel, the influence of Si content on the microstructure evolution of iron-based hot-dip Al-χSi coating was analyzed (χ=0, 1.5 wt%, 3.0 wt% and 7.0 wt%). The results show that the introduction of Si makes the reaction interface change from the lingual-tooth interface of hot-dip Al to the flat interface of hot-dip Al-Si. It also reduces the thickness of the alloy layer in the coating, especially the Fe2Al5 layer. When the Si content is 1.5 wt% or 3.0 wt%, the diffusion channel crosses the conjugate line of the two-phase region (FeAl3+liquid phase) into the FeAl3 single-phase region, and then moves to the region with higher Si content. Next, the diffusion channel cuts off the conjugate line of FeAl3 phase, τ1/τ9 phase, and Fe2Al5 phase, which promotes the form of τ1/τ9 phase. The formed τ1/τ9 phase inhibits the diffusion between Fe and Al atoms. When the Si content is 7.0 wt%, the diffusion channel passes through the two-phase region (liquid phase+τ5) and enters the τ5 single-phase region. The form of τ5 single-phase region has a strong inhibitory effect on the interatomic diffusion of Fe and Al, thereby reducing the thickness of the coating, especially the Fe2Al5 layer.

摘要

基于扩散通道，分析了Si含量对铁基热浸Al-χSi涂层微观结构演变的影响(χ=0，1.5 wt%，3.0 wt%，7.0 wt%)。结果表明，Si的引入使反应界面从热浸铝的舌状界面变为热浸Al-Si 的平坦界面，同时也减少了涂层中合金层的厚度，特别是Fe2Al5层。当Si 含量为1.5 wt%或3.0 wt%时，扩散通道穿过两相区(FeAl3+液相)的共轭线进入FeAl3 单相区，再移动到Si 含量较高的区域。然后，扩散通道切断FeAl3 相、τ1/τ9 相和Fe2Al5相的共轭线，从而促进了τ1/τ9 相的形成。由此产生的τ1/τ9 相抑制了Fe 原子和Al 原子之间的扩散。当Si 含量为7.0 wt%时，扩散通道穿过(液相+τ5)两相区，进入τ5 单相区。τ5 单相区对Fe 原子和Al原子间扩散有很强的抑制作用，从而减少了涂层的厚度，特别是Fe2Al5层。
