Abstract Higher-temperature operation in a gas turbine has urged development of heat-resistant coatings and thermal barrier coatings. We have developed a 2CaO-SiO2-CaO-ZrO2 based thermal barrier coating. This coating should effectively prevent separation of the coating by relieving the shear stress generated due to thermal change of environment between layers with dissimilar properties. The coating was applied to stationary vanes of an actual gas turbine in a 25,000-hour test. This paper describes the results of the field test.

Zirconia stabilized with 8 wt.% Y2O3 is the most common material to be applied in thermal barrier coatings owing to its excellent properties: low thermal conductivity, high toughness and thermal expansion coefficient as ceramic material. Calculation has been made to evaluate the gains of thermal barrier coatings applied on gas turbine blades. The study considers a top ceramic coating Zirconia stabilized with 8 wt.% Y2O3 on a NiCoCrAlY bond coat and Inconel 738LC as substrate. For different thickness and different cooling air flow rates, a thermodynamic analysis has been performed and pollutants emissions (CO, NOx) have been estimated to analyze the effect of rising the gas inlet temperature. The effect of thickness and thermal conductivity of top coating and the mass flow rate of cooling air have been analyzed. The model for heat transfer analysis gives the temperature reduction through the wall blade for the considered conditions and the results presented in this contribution are restricted to a two considered limits: (1) maximum allowable temperature for top layer (1200?C) and (2) for blade material (1000?C). The model can be used to analyze other materials that support higher temperatures helping in the development of new materials for thermal barrier coatings.

Inlet temperature is vital to the thermal efficiency of gas turbines, which is becoming increasingly important in the context of structural changes in power supplies with more intermittent renewable power sources. Blade cooling is a key method for gas turbines to maintain high inlet temperatures whilst also meeting material temperature limits. However, the implementation of blade cooling within a gas turbine—for instance, thermal barrier coatings (TBCs)—might also change its heat transfer characteristics and lead to challenges in calculating its internal temperature and thermal efficiency. Existing studies have mainly focused on the materials and mechanisms of TBCs and the impact of TBCs on turbine blades. However, these analyses are insufficient for measuring the overall impact of TBCs on turbines. In this study, the impact of TBC thickness on the performance of gas turbines is analyzed. An improved mathematical model for turbine flow passage is proposed, considering the impact of cooling with TBCs. This model has the function of analyzing the impact of TBCs on turbine geometry. By changing the TBCs’ thickness from 0.0005 m to 0.0013 m, its effects on turbine flow passage are quantitatively analyzed using the proposed model. The variation rules of the cooling air ratio, turbine inlet mass flow rate, and turbine flow passage structure within the range of 0.0005 m to 0.0013 m of TBC thicknesses are given.
