Ni3Al based alloy IC10 has been developed for turbine blades and vanes of advanced aero-engines and other high temperature structural components. Conventional two-layered structure thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) were produced by EB-PVD onto Ni-based superalloy. The thickness of bond coat and top coat was approximately 60μm and 120μm, respectively. After thermal barrier coatings were produced, it was heated at 1523K for 2hs, 6hs, 14hs and 20hs under 1×10-2Pa, respectively. After heat treatment was done, the thermal cyclic test was carried out by exposure to air at 1373K for 0.5h, and then cooled to room temperature within 5 minutes by forced air cooling. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was employed to study the microstructure of the coatings. After thermal cycled in air at 1373K for TBCs without heat treatment at 1523K, its lifetime is about 810 hours. After 760hs thermal cycles, the spallation occurred on the TBCs that the heat treatment was treated at 1523K for 2hs. The lifetime of TBCs, which the heat treatment was treated at 1523K for 6hs, was 710hs. The lifetime of TBCs, which the heat treatment was treated at 1523K for 14hs and 20hs, was 600hs and 560hs, respectively. The results showed that, with the increasing of the time of heat treatment, the weight gain increased evidently during thermal cycled. The results showed that heat treatment at 1523K affect the lifetime of TBCs during thermal cyclic evidently.

Several kinds of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) deposited by electron beam physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD) were produced as a function of electron beam power in order to evaluate their strain tolerance. The deposition temperatures were changed from 1210 K to 1303 K depending on EB power. In order to evaluate strain tolerances of the EB-PVD/TBCs, a uniaxial compressive spallation test was newly proposed in this study. In addition, the microstructures of the layers were observed with SEM and Young’s moduli were measured by a nanoindentation test. The strain tolerance in as-deposited samples decreased with an increase in deposition temperature. In the sample deposited at 1210 and 1268 K, high-temperature aging treatment at 1273 K for 10 h remarkably promoted the reduction of the strain tolerance. The growth of thermally grown oxide (TGO) layer generated at the interface between topcoat and bondcoat layers was the principal reason for this strain tolerance reduction. We observed TGO-layer growth even in the as-deposited sample. Although the thickness of the initial TGO layer in the sample deposited at high temperature was thicker, the growth rate during aging treatment was smaller than those of the other specimens. This result suggests that we can improve the oxidation resistance of TBC systems by controlling the processing parameters in the EB-PVD process.

Abstract Over the past 30 years, there has been considerable interest in the development of thermally sprayed thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) for aerospace and land based turbine applications. The use of TBCs enables higher operating temperatures, resulting in significant fuel efficiency savings. This paper reports on the development of dense Yttria Stabilised Zirconia (YSZ) thermal barrier coatings produced by High Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF) spraying using acetylene as the fuel gas. The use of a high temperature gas erosion rig allowed the controlled evaluation of erodent size, velocity, impact angle, and temperature on coating performance. The work also covers the optimization of process parameters, including powder morphology, stand-off distance, oxygen to fuel ratio, gas pressures, and flowrates, and their effect on coating characteristics such as deposition efficiency, microhardness, and surface roughness.
