Strain Tolerance

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.

Thermal barrier coatings are intended to work in conjunction with internal cooling schemes to reduce the metal temperature of critical hot gas path components in gas turbine engines. The thermal resistance is typically provided by a 100-250 μm thick layer of ceramic (most usually zirconia stabilized with an addition of 7–8 wt% of yttria), and this is deposited on to an approximately 50 μ thick, metallic bond coating that is intended to anchor the ceramic to the metallic surface, to provide some degree of mechanical compliance, and to act as a reservoir of protective scale-forming elements (Al) to protect the underlying superalloy from high-temperature corrosion. A feature of importance to the durability of thermal barrier coatings is the early establishment of a continuous, protective oxide layer (preferably α-alumina) at the bond coating—ceramic interface. Because zirconia is permeable to oxygen, this oxide layer continues to grow during service. Some superalloys are inherently resistant to high-temperature oxidation, so a separate bond coating may not be needed in those cases. Thermal barrier coatings have been in service in aeroengines for a number of years, and the use of this technology for increasing the durability and/or efficiency of industrial gas turbines is currently of significant interest. The data presented were taken from an investigation of routes to optimize bond coating performance, and the focus of the paper is on the influences of reactive elements and Pt on the oxidation behaviour of NiAl-based alloys determined in studies using cast versions of bond coating compositions.
