A kind of high-temperature self-compensating multi-layer compound film strain gauge and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to thin film sensor design and production technical field, concrete, relate to a kind of in superalloy components original position prepare, the high temperature film strain gauge with temperature self-compensation function and preparation method thereof.
Background technology
For the parts of at high temperature longtime running, its creep is the principal element causing inefficacy.Such as, in modern turbine aircraft engines technology, turbo blade is operated in the extreme environment of high temperature, high pressure, highly corrosive.Therefore the design of turbo blade and selection become vital link during electromotor manufactures and designs.In order to determine the structural model of turbine engine blade and the assessment to blade new material performance, the mechanical behavior monitoring blade in real time is necessary.
Traditional foil gauge has metal wire type or foil gage.And thin film strain meter is compared to traditional foil gauge, thickness is in micron dimension, it is possible to achieve original position makes and measures, and the structure influence of tested component can be ignored, and corresponding speed is fast, test accuracy is high, highly sensitive.
On hardware, original position prepares strain gauge, and device and the high-temperature insulation of substrate are always up restricting the key factor of real-time monitoring.Aluminum oxide film generally selected by insulant.The aluminum oxide film deposited by the method for reactive sputtering mentioned in patent " a kind of semiconductive thin film high temperature deformation sensor " (CN103900460A).It is harsh that the method prepares the condition required for aluminum oxide film, it is necessary to accurately controls the flow-rate ratio of oxygen and argon, and reaction at high temperature carries out, and the requirement of equipment is relatively stricter, and manufacturing cost is also higher.The drawback that reactive sputtering aluminium oxide there is also is in sputter procedure, if condition controls bad, it is easy to target " poisoning " phenomenon occurs, is that sputter procedure cannot complete, will have a strong impact on the quality of thin film.The first high-temperature process NiCoCrAlY alloy substrates mentioned in patent " a kind of thin film strain takes into account its preparation method " (CN103921500A) produces the alumina transition layer of 1~2 μm, then utilizes the aluminium oxide that the method for electron beam evaporation deposits 10~15 μm.During the excessive layer of high-temperature process NiCoCrAlY, it is easy to generate the electrical conductivity such as the NiO oxide higher than aluminium oxide more than ten times, the insulating properties of dielectric film will be had a strong impact on.This method there is also the shortcomings such as complicated process of preparation.
Owing to the change of temperature can produce bigger resistance variations when electric resistance wire strain gauge works in the extreme environment of electromotor, thus causing that measurement result deviation is big.And use the composite strain membrane structure that temperature-coefficient of electrical resistance (TCR) is little can slow down this effect.And PdCr alloy has positive TCR, TaN to have negative both TCR reasonably combination to can be obtained by the self compensation laminated film strain gauge of TCR nearly zero.
