Abstract Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are typically composed of a ceramic top coat, a thermally grown oxide, and an aluminide bond coat. These three layers each have specific roles in protecting super alloy substrates. State-of-the-art TBCs use Zirconia for the ceramic top coat and develop Alumina thermally grown oxide. Although the bond coats almost universally contain aluminides, their composition and processing vary greatly. In this work, a platinum aluminide bond coat system which was processed using an unactivated pack cementation process is studied. This bond coat system was formed on 1 inch diameter CMSX-4 super alloy disks.

This paper presents the results of a study of the microstructure and oxidation behavior of thermal barrier coating (TBC) with air plasma sprayed (APS) yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) top coat and CoNiCrAlY bond coat deposited using two different spraying techniques, low pressure plasma spray (LPPS) and cold spray (CS). The objective is to investigate the thermally grown oxide (TGO) thickness and oxide scale composition of TBC subjected to isothermal oxidation and creep tests at 900 °C by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX) analyses in order to evaluate the reliability of the CS technique. It was found that the TGO thicknesses for TBC with CS bond coats were smaller and the TGO was composed of mainly alumina with little or no mixed oxides. TGO growth rate was also affected by the applied stress. Smaller TGO thicknesses were observed for the non-creep TBC for both CS and LPPS bond coats. Overall findings indicate that the oxidation behavior of the TBC with CS bond coat is superior compared to that of the TBC with LPPS bond coat.

ABSTRACTThe mechanism controlling the cyclic failure of a commercial thermal barrier system has been investigated. The system comprises an electron-beam physical vapor deposited (EB-PVD) yttria-stabilized zirconia thermal barrier coating (TBC), deposited on a (Ni Pt) Al bond coating. The thermally grown oxide (TGO) layer that forms between the TBC and bond coat at high temperature is unstable with respect to out of plane displacement, provided initial perturbations are present. With cyclic thermal exposure, the TGO displaces into the bond coat at periodic interfacial sites. The out-of-plane displacements induce strains above the TGO, normal to the interface, that cause cracking. The cracks nucleate either within the TBC layer or at the TBC/TGO interface, and extend laterally until they coalesce with cracks from other sites and coating failure occurs by large scale buckling. The TGO displacements are accommodated by visco-plastic deformation of the underlying bond coat, and are driven by a lateral component of the growth strain in the TGO. The susceptibility of the TGO to out-of-plane displacement depends critically upon the initial morphology of the metal/oxide interface. The observed material responses are compared with predictions of a ‘ratcheting’ model.

The effects of bond coat nature in thermal barrier coating (TBC) systems on the delamination or fracture behavior of the TBCs with different bond coats prepared using two different processes—air plasma spray (APS) and high velocity oxyfuel (HVOF)—were investigated by cyclic thermal fatigue tests. The TBCs with the HVOF bond coat were delaminated or fractured after 3–6 cycles, whereas those with the APS bond coat were delaminated after 10 cycles or show a sound condition. These results indicate that the TBC system with the APS bond coat has better thermal durability than the system with the HVOF bond coat under long-term cyclic thermal exposure. The hardness values of the TBCs (top coats) in both systems are dependent on applied loads, irrespective of the hardness of the bond coats and the substrate. The values are not responded to the bond coat nature or the exposure time. Thermally grown oxide (TGO) layers in both cases consist of two regions with the inner TGO layer containing only Al2O3 and the outer TGO layer of mixed-oxide zone containing Ni, Co, Cr, Al in Al2O3 matrix. The outer TGO layer has a more irregular shape than the inner TGO layer, and there are many pores within the outer layer. At failure, the TGO thickness of the TBC system with the HVOF bond coat is 9–13 m, depending on the total exposed time, and that of the TBC system with the APS bond coat is about 20 m. The both TBC systems show the diffusion layer on the side of substrate in the interface between the bond coat and the substrate. The relationship between the delamination or fracture behavior and the bond coat nature has been discussed, based on the elemental analysis and microstructural evaluation.

Abstract Yttria-stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) coatings deposited by electron beam physical vapor deposition on platinum aluminide and NiCoCrAlY bond coats on single crystal superalloy substrates have been oxidized at temperatures between 1000 and 1200°C in air. The cyclic oxidation lives of the systems with platinum aluminide bond coats were substantially longer than those with NiCoCrAlY bond coats. The thermally grown oxide (TGO) that develops between the bond coat and the TBC during oxidation, as well as the bond coat and the TBC adjacent to the TGO, have been examined in detail using optical metallography, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM). The YSZ is observed to undergo significant amounts of sintering. The TGO grows by the inward diffusion of oxygen and the outward diffusion of aluminum. In some cases, the outward growth component incorporates some of the TBC into the TGO. The depletion of aluminum results in phase changes in the bond coats. Failure of the TBCs occurs after fixed amounts of oxidation which result in increasing amounts of elastic energy being stored in the TGO and YSZ as well as degradation of the TGO-bond coat interface. The fracture path changed as a function of exposure time and temperature with larger amounts of separation occurring at the TGO/BC interface for higher temperatures and longer exposures in dry air. Failure can be accelerated in the presence of water vapor, particularly if spinel formation is induced. Fracture occurs primarily in the oxides, in this case. The fracture surface for systems with platinum aluminide bond coats often contains precipitates, which are rich in refractory metals. These features do not appear to be prevalent with NiCoCrAlY bond coats.
