Abstract
Aluminum-based composite abradable seal coatings are pivotal to improving the efficiency of aero en-gines or gas turbines.However,the adhesive transfer frequently occurs between metallic blade tips and aluminum-based composite coatings,resulting in engine vibration and even jam.Many past studies had tried to solve this problem by reducing coating hardness,improving lubrication,or strengthening blade tips,but all had failed.In this paper,we proposed a novel epoxy-based composite abradable seal coat-ing,eliminating adhesive transfer by changing metal-to-metal scraping pair to metal-to-polymer scraping pair.The coating was developed via a hierarchical structure design.Large spherical pores were uniformly distributed in the continuous epoxy matrix with fine graphite dispersion.By adding 20 vol.％graphite and 50 vol.％hollow microspheres,a self-lubricating epoxy-based coating of 0.26 friction coefficient with thermal conductivity of 0.28 W/(m.K),coating HR15Y hardness at 54.8,and bonding strength at 18.7 MPa can be reached.When the metallic blades scrape the epoxy-based composite coating,no adhesive trans-fer occurs.Besides,a smooth scraped surface is formed by pseudoplastic deformation.This epoxy-based composite abradable seal coating opens a new way to improve the efficiency and reliable operations of air engine compressors.
