Micro-scale cantilever beam specimens have been created in air plasma sprayed thermal barrier coatings (APS-TBC) by focus-ion beam milling and tested in-situ using a force measurement technique. The elastic modulus, fracture toughness and the flexural strength of the specimens are calculated from the loading-deflection curve. In addition, the failure modes of the tested TBC are analysed.

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.

Laboratory testing was conducted on air plasma sprayed (APS) and electron beam-physical vapor deposited (EB-PVD) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) applied onto nickel alloy specimens. As-coated chemistry, microstructure, and bond strength of the TBC systems were evaluated. Cyclic oxidation tests that simulated industrial gas turbine environments were also conducted on the various thermal barrier coatings. This study evaluated the effects of ceramic and metallic coating compositions and application processes on coatings microstructure and performance. The relative cyclic performance of the TBC systems was determined from the laboratory tests.
