10mol% Nd2O3 and Yb2O3 co-doped YSZ thermal barrier coatings were produced by electron beam physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD). Compared to the traditional YSZ coating, the deposited coating has shown tree-like microstructure in each column. Due to this, the co-doped coating is more porous than the YSZ coating. The microstructure evolution of the coating during high temperature exposure at 1373 K was studied. The tree-like microstructure disappeared due to joining of sub-grains during sintering. Thermal growth oxide (TGO) grew quickly at the first few hours and then the growth of TGO became slow in the subsequent high temperature exposure. Cracks generated and propagated in the ceramic top coat and along the interface of the top coat and TGO layer. Finally, the coalescence of such cracks resulted in failure of the TBCs.

AbstractPreliminary creep tests were performed on SiC whisker reinforced and matrix Si3N4 material fabricated by the NPS technique. The material was extensively crystallised in the as received material, leaving only thin amorphous films surrounding the grains. No improvement in the creep resistance could be detected for the whisker reinforced material. The deformation mechanisms were found to be that of cavitation in the form of microcracks, predominantly at the whisker/matrix interfaces, and the formation of larger cracks. Extensive oxidation of the samples, as a result of high temperature exposure to air, was observed for the materials tested at 1375°C.
