Abstract YPSZ-thermal barrier coatings are widely used in industries. Nevertheies there is secure interest in TBC's for higher temperature application. Ceria or miao-alloyed ceria shows the potential to be used at higher temperatures than YPSZ. Ceria and YPSZ-Ceria-multi-layer thermal barrier coatings were produced by plasma and high velocity oxygen flame (HVOF) spraying. Bond strength and thermal shock behaviour were tested. HVOF sprayed coatings had higher content of oxygen and higher density than plasma sprayed coatings. While plasma sprayed coatings showed microcracks originating in certain phases, HVOF sprayed coatings had cracks perpendicular to the surface across the whole layer thickness. In each case the bond strength was determined by the cohesion inside the ceria coating and not by the bondage between the layers. The thermal shock resistance of each type is limited by different properties of the occuring phases caused by impurities of the used powder. However an excellent bondage between YPSZ and ceria can be achieved. Pure ceria thermal barrier coatings are not suitable due to the high diffusion of oxygen and interaction with the MCr AIY bwid coat.

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.

Four point bending tests have been carried out on a thermal barrier coating (TBC) system, at room temperature. The TBC system consisted of a plasma sprayed Y-TZP top coat with 8 % in weight of Yttria, a bond coat of NiCrAlY and a Ni-based superalloy Inconel 625 as substrate. The TBC coating was deposited on both sides of the prismatic specimens. Efforts have been done in detecting the damage of the coating by means of Maltzbender et al [1] model.

Barrier Coating

Abstract Thermal barrier coatings are used in the aerospace industry for thermal insulation in hot sections of gas turbines. Improved coating reliability is a common goal among jet engine designers. In-service failures, such as coating cracking and spallation, result in decreased engine performance and costly maintenance time. A research program was conducted to evaluate residual stresses, microstructure, and thermal shock life of thermal barrier coatings produced from different powder types and spray parameters. Sixteen coatings were ranked according to their performance relative to the other coatings in each evaluation category. Comparisons of residual stresses, powder morphology, and microstructure to thermal shock life indicate a strong correlation to thermal barrier coating performance. Results from these evaluations will aid in the selection of an optimum thermal barrier coating system for turbine engine applications.

The spinel growth induces undulation of the thermal growth oxide layer and decreases the service life of plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coatings. An analytical model is introduced to investigate the effect of spinel growth on the delamination of thermal barrier coating. The analytical results show that the number per unit area and the growth rate of spinel have significant influence on the delamination of thermal barrier coating. The stiffer and thicker thermal barrier coating is more easily to delaminate from the bond coat due to the existence of spinels. The effect of spinel on the delamination cannot be neglected. How to reduce the growth rate and the number of spinel is a key problem to prolong the service life of thermal barrier coatings.

This paper deals with the microstructure and thermal shock behavior of laser remelting of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) deposited by plasma spraying. The microstructures of the coatings were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found that the as-sprayed ceramic coating had laminated structure with high porosity. However, the coating exhibited a dense lamellar-like layer with segment cracks on the remained plasma-sprayed porous layer. Thermal shock experiments for the two kinds of TBCs were performed by water quenching method. Testing result showed that the laser-remelted TBC had better thermal shock resistance than the as-sprayed one. The damage mode of the as-sprayed TBC was great-size whole spalling. In contract, the failure mechanism of the laser-remelted one was mainly local pelling. Segmented cracks of the top ceramic coatings caused by laser remelting improved the stress accommodation and were mainly attributed to the enhancement for thermal shock life of TBC.
