Abstract Zirconia-based thermal barrier coatings (TBCs), produced using Vacuum Plasma Spray (VPS) technology, were recently subjected to burner rig testing. The VPS TBC performance was compared to TBCs deposited using conventional Atmospheric Plasma Sprayed (APS) and Electron Beam Physical Vapor Deposition (EB-PVD) techniques. All of the coatings consisted of an MCrAlY bond coat and a partially stabilized ZrO2-8%Y2O3 (PSZ) top coat. The TBC coated pins (6.35 mm in diameter) were tested using gas temperatures ranging from 110CC to 1500°C. The pins were tested to failure under severe conditions (1500°C gas temperature, with no internal cooling). The initial testing indicated that under typical operating gas temperatures (1400°C), the VPS TBC performance was comparable, if not superior, to conventional TBCs. Following the encouraging results, thick composite TBCs, produced in a single-step operation, were investigated. Preliminary work on ZrO2-8% Y2O3/Ca2SiO4 composite TBCs with interlayer grading included thermal shock testing and temperature drop measurements across the TBC. The composite TBC thicknesses ranged from 850µm to 1.8 mm. Initial results indicate that thick adherent composite TBCs, with high resistance to severe thermal shock, can be produced in a single step using the VPS process.

Thermal barrier coatings can be used to reduce the heat losses in heavy-duty diesel engines. A relatively new coating method for thermal barrier coatings is suspension plasma-spraying. Single-cylinder engine tests have been run to evaluate how heat losses to piston, cylinder head and exhausts as well as the specific fuel consumption are influenced by coating pistons with two different suspension plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coatings and one atmospheric plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coating, and comparing the results to those from an uncoated steel piston. The two suspension plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coatings showed reduced heat losses through the piston and less heat redirected to the cylinder head compared to conventional atmospheric plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coating, while one suspension plasma-sprayed coating with yttria-stabilized zirconia as top coat material showed increased exhaust temperature. However, the indicated specific fuel consumption was higher for all tested thermal barrier coatings than for an uncoated engine. The best performing thermal barrier coating with respect to indicated specific fuel consumption was a suspension plasma-sprayed coating with gadolinium zirconate as top coat material.

ZrO2-8wt.%Y2O3 (8YSZ) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) were deposited by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) on NiCoCrAlY-coated Inconel 738LC substrates. The thermal shock behavior was investigated by quenching the samples in water with temperature of 20-25°C from 950°C. To study of failure mechanism results from thermal cycling, microstructural evaluation using scanning electron microscope (SEM), elemental analysis using energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and phasic analysis using x-ray diffractometry (XRD) were done. The results revealed that failure of the TBC system was due to the spallation of ceramic top coat. Thermal mismatch stress was the major factor of TBC failure in thermal shock test.
