Thermal barrier coating structure components are prone to coating cracking, debonding and peeling defects in the service process, which affects the work safety and reliability of the hot end parts, even result to catastrophic consequences. Experimental research on Yttria-stabilized zirconia thermal barrier coating structure debonding defect detection has been conducted using long-pulsed excitation of infrared wave non-destructive testing technology. Differences between surface temperature signals of sound and defective regions, detection effect comparison of heating and cooling process, detection effect comparison of different defect preparation methods, and impact of inspection parameters on detection effect were studied and discussed. The research conclusions will provide technical guidance to Yttria-stabilized zirconia thermal barrier coating structure debonding defects using long-pulsed excitation of infrared wave non-destructive testing technology

Abstract Cr3+ photoluminescence peizo-spectroscopy (CPLPS) is a technique that allows the measurement of the hydrostatic component of stress in α alumina oxides. This method is being developed in our laboratory as a non-destructive inspection technique for thermal barrier coating systems. It has been shown that the Cr3+ concentration influences the magnitude of the shifts in the fluorescence frequencies, Δv of the R1 and the R2 peaks [1,2] and hence the apparent stress. Therefore, this work is an attempt to quantify the extent of this shift, consequent to the Cr3+ concentration in the TBC systems and to study the variation of this effect with thermal cycles on the TBCs. In addition, we have developed a method of estimating Cr3+ content based on the intensity of satellite peaks referred to as n-lines. The experiments are also designed to validate the n-line based method of estimating Cr3+ content and its affect on the apparent stress value.
