AbstractThermal barrier coatings (TBCs) as a kind of temperature-resistance materials have been widely applied in super high temperature components in aircraft engines. However, TBCs are subjected to harsh service environment such as high temperature oxidation and erosion, which lead to the coating failure. It is important to investigate the effect of fire temperature, angle and velocity of particle on erosion to understand the failure mechanism. In this paper, the temperature and velocity distributions of erosion particles in high temperature gas burner rig are investigated by using the fluid–solid coupling method with the discrete random walk model. The results show that a non-uniform distribution of temperature appears in different positions of the central axis, and the temperature of particle is affected obviously by the gas stream and particle size. The trajectory of particles and velocity diagrams under different particle size are determined by coupling the continuous phase with the erosion particles.

This paper presents the results of an experimental study of the high-temperature isothermal oxidation behavior and micro-structural evolution in plasma sprayed thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) at temperatures between 900 and 1200 °C. Two types of specimens were produced for testing. These include a standard and vertically cracked (VC) APS. High temperature oxidation has been carried out at 900, 1000, 1100 and 1200 °C. The experiments have been performed in air under isothermal conditions. At each temperature, the specimens are exposed for 25, 50, 75 and 100 hours. The corresponding microstructures and microchemistries of the TBC layers are then examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy EDS. Changes in the dimensions of the thermally grown oxide (TGO) layer are determined as functions of time and temperature. The evolution of bond coat microstructures/interdiffusion zones and thermally grown oxide (TGO) layers are compared in TBCs with standard (STD) and vertically cracked (VC) microstructures.

Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) have been widely used by aero and land based gas turbines to protect hot section parts from oxidation and thermal loads. These coatings are generally consisting of multiple layers of coating (usually two) with each layer having a specific function. TBCs are generally deposited with air plasma spray (APS) or electron beam physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD) techniques. In this paper plasma sprayed TBCs were deposited on to 304 stainless steel substrates then ceramic surfaces were glazing with Nd-YAG laser. Metallographic examinations were applied to the samples to investigate microstructural changes in glazed ceramic layer. Both glazed and as-coated samples were subjected to oxidation tests to measure the high temperature oxidation resistance. The tests showed that, laser glazing is beneficial to oxidation resistance of TBCs. This improvement is attributed to sintering of zirconia layer which act as oxygen barrier and formed during glazing process.

Thermal barrier coatings(TBCs) are used in high temperature gas turbines to reduce the surface temperature of cooled metal parts such as turbine blades[1]. TBC consist of a bondcoat (e.g. MCrAlY where M is Co, Ni, CoNi, etc.) and a partially stabilized zirconia ceramic topcoat. Usually, the MCrAlY bondcoat is applied by LPPS (low pressure plasma spray) or HVOF(high velocity oxi-fuel spray). The topcoat is applied by APS (atmospheric plasma splay) or EB-PVD (electron beam-physical vapor deposition). High temperature oxidation properties, thermal barrier properties and durability of TBC are very important to increase the reliability in high temperature service. In this study, new TBC has been investigated. The new TBC consists of a two-layered bondcoat (LPPS-MCrAlY plus dense PVD overlay MCrAlY) and the EB-PVD type YSZ columnar structure topcoat. As a result of evaluation tests, it was confirmed that the new TBC had better oxidation properties and durability than a conventional TBC system.
