Effect of Mn Doping on Microstructure and Thermal Conductivity of(Y0.4Er0.6)3Al5O12 Ceramics Material for Thermal Barrier Coating
Ceramic materials(Y0.4Er0.6)3(Al1_yMny)5O12(y=0,0.02,0.04,0.06,0.08,0.1)were pre-pared by solid phase synthesis method,and their microstructure and thermal conductivity were studied by X-ray diffractometer and Rietveld refinement method,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,scanning electron microscopy,X-ray energy spectroscopy,transmission electron microscopy,laser thermal conduc-tivity tester.The results show that the ceramic materials of(Y0.4Er0.6)3(Al1-yMny)5O12 are all single YAG phase,with the increase of Mn doping,the lattice constant and cell volume decrease and then increase,Mn2+gradually occupies the position of Al3+in the cell,keeping the crystal structure of Y3Al5O12 un-changed;the thermal conductivity of the ceramic material(Y04Er0.6)3(Al1-yMny)5O12 is significantly reduced,with the lowest thermal conductivity at Mn doping y=0.06,which is about 1.38 W/(m·K)at 1100℃,and reduced by about 34.6% compared to that of the pure ceramic material YAG(2.1 W/(m·K)).
