Influence of the Structural-Phase State of a Copper Substrate upon Modification with Titanium Ions on the Thermal Cyclic Resistance of a Coating Based on Zr-Y-O

Abstract

The results of investigation of the surface of a copper substrate modified with titanium ions are presented. The phase composition, the structure, and the morphology of the surface of the copper alloy modified by titanium ions have been investigated by X-ray, SEM, and TEM. It has been established that there are the intermetallic phases of the Cu-Ti equilibrium diagram in the surface layer during the treatment of copper by the titanium ions. A multilevel micro- and nanoporous structure is formed in the modified layer. It has been established that the structure-phase state and morphology of the surface layers of copper directly effects on the thermocycler resistance and adhesion of the Zr-Y-O coating. The thermocyclic resistance of the Zr-Y-O coating increases by an order of magnitude, the adhesion to the substrate is 2 times if the substrate surface is treated with titanium ions for 6 min.
