The durability of atmospheric plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coatings (APS TBCs) with a double-layer bond coat was evaluated via isothermal cycling tests under 1120 °C. The bond coat consisted of a porosity layer deposited on the substrate and an oxidation layer deposited on the porosity layer. Two types of double-layer bond coats with different thickness ratios of the porosity layer to the oxidation layer (type A: 1:2 and type B: 2:1, respectively) were prepared. The results show that the porosity layer was oxidation free, the oxidation layer included a fraction of well-distributed α-Al2O3. The coefficient of thermal expansion of the oxidation layer was about 11.2 × 10−6 K−1, which was rather lower than that of the porosity layer. Thus, the oxidation layer can be regards as a secondary bond coat between ceramic topcoat and traditional bond coat. The thermal cyclic lifetime of type A TBCs was about 60 cycles, which exceeded 1.2 times the durability of type B TBCs. The delamination cracks in both TBCs all propagated in the ceramic topcoat, which were all identical to those in traditional TBCs. Therefore, the design of the double-layer bond coat affected the stress level rather than the stress distribution in TBCs.

In this paper, the impedance spectroscopy technique was employed to examine nondestructively the isothermal oxidation of air plasma sprayed (APS) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) in air at 800°C. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) were also used to characterize the microstructure evolution of TBCs. After oxidation, the thermally grown oxide (TGO), which was mainly composed of alumina as confirmed by EDX, formed at the upper ceramic coat/bond coat interface, the lower bond coat/substrate interface, and the bond coat. Impedance diagrams obtained from impedance measurements at room temperature were analyzed according to the equivalent circuit model proposed for the TBCs. Various observed electrical responses relating to the growth of oxides and the sintering of YSZ were explained by simulating the impedance spectra of the TBCs.

ABSTRACTThermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are known to spall as a result of the residual stresses that develop during thermal cycling. TBC's are multi-layered coatings comprised of a metallic bond coat, thermally grown oxide and the ceramic top coat, all on top of a Ni-base superalloy substrate. The development of residual stresses is related to the generation of thermal, elastic and plastic strains in each of the layers. The focus of the current study is the development of a finite element analysis (FEA) that will model the development of residual stresses in these layers. Both interfacial roughness and material parameters (e.g., modulus of elasticity, coefficient of thermal expansion and stress relaxation of the bond coat) play a significant role in the development of residual stresses. The FEA developed in this work incorporates both of these effects and will be used to study the consequence of interface roughness, as measured in SEM micrographs, and material properties, that are being measured in a parallel project, on the development of these stresses. In this paper, the effect of an idealized three-dimensional surface roughness is compared to residual stresses resulting from a grooved surface formed by revolving a sinusoidal wave about an axis of symmetry. It is shown that cylindrical and flat button models give similar results, while the 3-D model results in stresses that are significantly larger than the stresses predicted in 2-D.

The aluminum depletion of NiCrAlY bond coat in an air-plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coating (TBC) has been studied by experimental and simulative approaches. Upon thermal exposure, Al depletion regions were observed. The depletion of aluminum is resulting from Al diffusion towards the surface of bond coat and into substrate. A mathematical model of Al depletion was presented. The model is able to explain the observed results in a qualitative way and has been shown that Al depletes within the bond coat by diffusion.

Abstract Superalloy samples were coated with thermal barrier coatings (TBC). This TBC-system consisted of two layers. The first layer was a vacuum-plasma sprayed, corrosion resistant layer (MCrAlY) which also acted as a bond coat. The ceramic top layer was atmospheric-plasma sprayed Y2O3-stabilized ZrO2. In order to produce different microstructures, the plasma-spraying parameters for the production of the ceramic coatings were varied. The different ceramic coatings were characterized in terms of porosity and mean elastic modulus. The porosity distribution was also investigated due to its influence on the measured elastic modulus. To record the changes of the plasma sprayed Zirconia due to sintering, the mean elastic modulus of selected coatings was measured as a function of annealing time. One series of TBC-coated specimens was cyclically oxidized at a maximum temperature of 1100°C. After 500 h of thermal cycling, creep within the MCrAlY-bond coat led to a coating failure at both the internal beveled edge and free edge around the specimen. A finite element analysis study of the cyclic oxidation experiment was performed to gain insight into the stress redistributions within the bond coat as a function of time. During the initial temperature increase, critical tensile normal stresses developed above the MCrAlY-Zirconia interface at the free edge. However, these normal stresses became compressive for all following cooling cycles. On the other hand, large tensile normal stresses developed above the MCrAlY-Zirconia interface at the beveled edge during all the cooling cycles. Therefore, high normal stresses responsible for debonding were present within the ceramic coating during all cooling cycles with the most critical stresses occurring at the free edge during the first cooling cycle and near the beveled edge for all the following cooling cycles.
