Plasma pretreatment on the top and bond coats was performed and its influence on the thermal durability of thermal barrier coating (TBC) system was investigated through cyclic thermal exposure. Two types of bond coat were prepared by different methods, namely, air plasma spray (APS) and high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF), and two kinds of feedstock powder were employed for preparing the top coat in APS process. The better thermal durability was achieved in the vertically cracked TBC with the surface modified bond coat or with the bond coat prepared by APS process. The hardness and fracture toughness values of TBCs increased because of densification of the top coat during cyclic thermal exposure, and the bond coat prepared by HVOF process showed higher values than that by APS process. The TBCs with the surface modified bond coat were more efficient in improving adhesive strength than those without plasma pretreatment on the bond coat. The relationship between microstructure evolution and thermomechanical characteristics of TBCs with plasma pretreatment was discussed in cyclic thermal exposure.

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.

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.

Formation of thin and continuous layer of thermally grown oxide (TGO) in thermal barrier coating (TBC) are essential in order to avoid coating failure for high temperature applications. As-sprayed high velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) bond coat can provide more uniform TGO layer in TBC system and much less oxide compare to air plasma spray (APS). In this paper, both APS and HVOF method are used to deposit NiCoCrAlYTa bond coat on Inconel 625 substrate followed by topcoat, YSZ deposition. Pre-oxidation process was done in normal oxygen furnace at 1000°C for 12 to 24 hours to study the characteristic of TGO formation via these two different methods. From the result obtained, it shows that HVOF method provide better TGO formation as compared to APS.

The static and low cycle fatigue strength of an air plasma sprayed (APS) partially stabilized zirconia thermal barrier coating (TBC) is experimentally evaluated. The shear testing utilized the Iosipescu shear test arrangement. Testing was performed parallel to the TBC-substrate interface. The TBC testing required an innovative use of steel extensions with the TBC bonded between the steel extensions to form the standard losipescu specimen shape. The test method appears to have been successful. Fracture of the TBC was initiated in shear, although unconstrained specimen fractures propagated at the TBC-bond coat interface. The use of side grooves on the TBC was successful in keeping the failure in the gage section and did not appear to affect the shear strength values that were measured. Low cycle fatigue failures were obtained at high stress levels approaching the ultimate strength of the TBC. The static and fatigue strengths do not appear to be markedly different from tensile properties for comparable TBC material.

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.

In this study, the relationship between microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) has been investigated through different thermal fatigue systems, electric thermal fatigue (ETF) and flame thermal fatigue (FTF), including the thermal stability through the interface between the bond and top coats. The TBC system with the thicknesses of 300 µm in both the top and bond coats was prepared with METCO 204 NS and AMDRY 962, respectively, with the air plasma spray (APS) system using 9MB gun. To observe the oxidation resistance and thermal stability of TBC, the thermal exposure tests were performed with both thermal fatigue tests at a surface temperature of 850 °C with a temperature difference of 200 °C between the surface and bottom of sample, for 12,000 EOH in designed apparatuses. The hardness values are slightly increased due to the densification of top coat with increasing the thermal exposure time in both thermal fatigue tests. The influence of thermal fatigue condition on the microstructural evolution and interfacial stability of TBC is discussed.
