Interest in ceramics as thermal barrier coatings for hot components of turbine engines has increased rapidly over the last decade. The primary reason for this is the significant reduction in heat load and increased chemical inertness against corrosive species with the ceramic coating materials. Among other candidates, partially-stabilized zirconia is the focus of attention mainly because ot its low thermal conductivity and high thermal expansion coefficient.The coatings were made by Garrett Turbine Engine Company. Ni-base super-alloy was used as the substrate and later a bond-coating with high Al activity was formed over it. The ceramic coatings, with a thickness of about 50 μm, were formed by EB-PVD in a high-vacuum chamber by heating the target material (ZrO2-20 w/0 Y2O3) above its evaporation temperaturef >3500 °C) with a high-energy beam and condensing the resulting vapor onto a rotating heated substrate. A heat treatment in an oxidizing environment was performed later on to form a protective oxide layer to improve the adhesion between the ceramic coating and substrate. Bulk samples were studied by utilizing a Scintag diffractometer and a JEOL JXA-840 SEM; examinations of cross-sectional thin-films of the interface region were performed in a Philips CM 30 TEM operating at 300 kV and for chemical analysis a KEVEX X-ray spectrometer (EDS) was used.

The results of TEM analyses of materials are critically dependent on the quality of the sample prepared. Although numerous techniques have been developed in the last two decades, differential thinning of inhomogeneous materials remains a serious problem. Recently, focused ion beam (FIB) technique has been introduced for cross-sectional sample preparation for TEM and SEM.A novel system for depositing a fine-grain (∼ 200 nm) ceramic coating on a metal surface via a patent pending Small-Particle Plasma Spray (SPPS) technique has been developed at the Basic Industry Research Laboratory of Northwestern University. To understand the properties of the coated surface, the ceramic/metal interface and the microstructure of the ceramic coating must be investigated. This paper presents a comparison of the microstructure of an A12O3 coating on a mild steel substrate prepared using conventional and FEB techniques.

In this study, atmospheric plasma spray was employed to deposit TiO2–SiAlON ceramic coating on 316 stainless steel. The phases and microstructure of the ceramic coating were investigated. Additionally, comparative studies on the tribological performances of the substrate and the ceramic coating, under both dry and starved lubrication conditions, were carried out. The SiAlON phase was preserved, while partial TiO2 anatase was transformed to rutile phase. The wear rate of the coating was roughly 1/3 of that of the substrate under both conditions. The wear mechanisms of the ceramic coating were surface fracture and abrasive wear in both cases, and the coating under starved lubrication underwent less abrasion. The pores in the coating served as micro-reservoirs, forming an oil layer on the mating surface, and improving tribological properties during sliding.
