Research Interest：

Functional ceramic coatings

High temperature chemical stability of layered ternary compounds

Attack effects of atomic oxygen on space materials and protective techniques

Research Achievement：

(1) Two novel techniques for ultra-high temperature oxidation test in controlled atmosphere and for mechanical property determination in thermal-load-oxygen complex environment

An ultra-high temperature oxidation testing facility with controllable atmosphere was developed in our laboratory. It enables a maximum heating temperature of 3000oC±20oC with the duration up to 3000s for the testing of C/C composite samples. The total pressure and the oxygen partial pressure of the atmosphere are adjustable in the range of 10~105Pa. The air flow speed is also adjustable in the range of 10~210m3/h. During oxidation testing, the linear changes of the samples are monitored and measured in situ with an accuracy of 0.01mm. This facility provides both the theoretical and engineering supports for the characterization and evaluation of the anti-ablative or non-ablative thermal protection systems.

By combining induction heating technique and universal materials tester, our group has established a mechanical testing system in the controlled thermal-load-oxygen complex environments. By utilizing this testing system, the tensile, compress or shear strengths of thermo-structural composites exposed in oxidizing environments for certain time can be determined, and the oxidation performance at ultra-high temperature (higher than 1600oC ) and applied loading also can be tested.

(2) Low-temperature high-efficient deposition of MAX-phases coatings

The high-efficient depositions of MAX-phases coatings have been achieved at room temperature by using arc ion plating technique. The as-deposed coatings are amorphous, they transform to crystal structure by post crystallization treatment. Compared with widely employed magnetron sputtering, this method has a series of advantages, such as higher deposition efficiency, lower deposition temperature and better coating adhesion. Then, single target of MAX phase is replaced with single simply heat-pressed target of M, A, X elements (no MAX phase), crystal MAX coatings also can be obtained. In this way, the cost of coating preparation becomes much low, and the depositions of the coatings are adjusted easily. Up to now, Cr2AlC and Ti3SiC2 have been deposited successfully. Especially, Cr2AlC possesses excellent oxidation resistance, has a great potential in applications of high temperature protective coatings.

(3) Nb doped Ti3SiC2 - a novel interconnect material of solid oxide fuel cell

Ti3SiC2, belonging to the family of MAX phases, exhibits low density, high modulus and fracture toughness, high electrical and thermal conductivity, easy machinability, good resistance to oxidation and thermal shock below 1100oC，and matched thermal expansion coefficient with yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrolyte, which endows it a promising interconnect material for intermediate temperature-solid oxide fuel cell (IT-SOFC). Nb doping can remarkably improve the oxidation resistance of Ti3SiC2 at 600-800oC in air. Meanwhile, after oxidation at 800oC in air for 500 h, the area special resistance (ASR) of Nb doped Ti3SiC2 is determined to be 80 mΩ·cm2. Especially, for this ceramic there is no Cr or other element volatilization problem that blocks the development of SOFC interconnects. Thus, this ceramic has a great potential for application of interconnect in IT-SOFC
