The degradation process of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) such as monolayered La2Zr2O7, composite 50% La2Zr2O7 + 50% 8YSZ, and double-ceramic layer (DCL) La2Zr2O7/50% La2Zr2O7 + 50% 8YSZ/8YSZ was investigated. Coatings were deposited using the atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) process (ceramic layer and bond-coat) on the Ni-based superalloy substrate with Ni-22Cr-10Al-1Y bond-coat. The thickness of the ceramic top-coats in all cases were 300 µm. In the case of La2Zr2O7/8YSZ, the internal sublayer was built from 8YSZ powder whereas the outer from La2Zr2O7. Between both sublayers’ “composite” a 50% La2Zr2O7 + 50% 8YSZ zone was present. The “composite” 50% La2Zr2O7 + 50% 8YSZ TBC system was sprayed from two different feedstock powders with equal weight ratios. In the first part of the investigation, the microstructural characterization of the TBCs was presented. The main goals were related to the characterization of the degradation processes in different TBC systems with special emphasis on the phenomenon in the thermally grown oxide (TGO) zone related to oxidation, and the phenomenon related to phase stability in ceramic top-coats as related to temperature influence. The oxidation test was carried out in air at 1100 °C for 500 h. In the second step of the investigation, the numerical simulation of the monolayered TBC 8YSZ and La2Zr2O7 systems was analyzed from the stress distribution point of view. Additionally, the two-layered TBC coating of the DCL type was also analyzed.

Nowadays commonly used thermal barrier coatings (TBC) are based on yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ). Addition of mullite phase into the YSZ coating can improve resulting high temperature properties. The contribution focuses on high temperature cyclic oxidation behaviour of two TBC systems with different top coats (TC) deposited by the means of atmospheric plasma spraying. The initial mullite-YSZ powder mixture consisted of 29 vol. % of mullite and 71 vol. % of YSZ. The conventional TBC system consisted of ~ 150 µm thick NiCoCrAlYHfSi bond coat (BC) and ~ 300 µm thick YSZ top coat. The experimental mullite-YSZ (MYSZ) TBC system consisted of ~ 150 µm thick NiCoCrAlYHfSi bond coat, ~ 100 µm thick YSZ interlayer and ~ 200 µm thick mullite-YSZ top coat. The experimental TBC proved higher lifetime, durability and phase stability and also lower grow rate of thermally grown oxide (TGO) compared to conventional TBC. Lifetime, phase stability and changes in the microstructure of TBCs after the furnace cyclic oxidation test were evaluated by the means of scanning electron microscopy equipped with EDX analyzer and X-ray diffraction techniques. Oxidation kinetics of TGO was calculated based on thickness determined utilizing digital image analysis.

Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are very important ceramic coating materials due to their excellent performance at high temperature. Double-ceramic-layer (DCL) La2Zr2O7 (LZ)/8YSZ TBCs, nanostructured single-ceramic-layer (SCL) 8YSZ and conventional SCL 8YSZ TBCs with the same thickness were fabricated by atmospheric plasma spraying in the present work. The static high temperature oxidation behaviour of the three as-sprayed coatings at 1000 and 1200 was investigated systematically. The results indicated that the LZ/8YSZ has higher oxidation resistance than that of SCL 8YSZ. The addition of LZ ceramic layer can increase the insulation temperature, impede the oxygen transferring to the bond coat and decrease the formation rate of the thermally grown oxide (TGO). The formation of the oxidized isolated islands in the bond-coat has decreased the effective thickness of the TGO at the bond coat/ceramic layer interface due to the depletion of the metallic elements in the bond-coat.

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.

Thermal barrier coatings are widely used for protection of gas turbine parts against high temperature oxidation and hot corrosion. In present work the microstructural assessment of TBCs produced by atmospheric plasma spray (APS) method was conducted. Three types of ceramic powders were used: magnesia- stabilized zirconia oxide (Metco 210), yttria stabilized zirconia oxide (YSZ -Metco 204) and fine-grained YSZ – Metco 6700. As a base material the Inconel 713 was used as well and CoNiCrAlY was plasma sprayed (APS) as a bond coat. The thickness of all ceramic layers was in range 80 – 110 μm. The elemental mapping of cross-section of magnesia-stabilized zirconia showed the presence of Mg, Zr and O in outer layer. In the YSZ ceramic layer the Y, Zr and O were observed during elemental mapping. The isothermal oxidation test was conducted at 1100 °C for 500 h in static laboratory air. On all samples the delamination and spallation of ceramic layers was observed. Chemical composition analysis of coatings showed the presence of two areas: the first one contained elements from bond coats: Ni, Cr, Al, Co and second area contained O, Cr Co and O that suggest the scale formation. The obtained results showed the total degradation of all ceramic layers as a result of internal stresses in bond-coat. Microscopic analysis showed the areas with complete degradation of bond coats and formation of thick oxides layer.

In rocket engine combustion chambers, the cooling channels experience extremely high temperatures and environmental attack. Thermal protection can be provided by Thermal Barrier Coatings. Due to the need of good heat conduction, the inner combustion liner is made of copper. The performance of a standard coating system for nickel based substrates is investigated on copper substrates. Thermal cycling experiments are performed on the coated samples. Due to temperature limitations of the copper substrate material, no thermally grown oxide forms at the interface of the thermal barrier coating and the bond coat. Delamination of the coatings occurs at the interface between the substrate and the bond coat due to oxide formation of the copper at uncoated edges. In real service a totally dense coating can probably not be assured which is the reason why this failure mode is of importance. Different parameters are used for thermal cycling to understand the underlying mechanisms of delamination. Furthermore, laser heating experiments account for the high thermal gradient in real service. Pilot tests which led to a delamination of the coating at the substrate interface were performed successfully.

AbstractNumerical-based finite element investigation has been conducted to explain the effect of bond coat thickness on stress distribution in traditional and nanostructured yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ)-based thermal barrier coatings (TBC). Stress components have been determined to quantitatively analyze the mechanical response of both kinds of coatings under the thermal shock effect. It has been found that maximum radial tensile and compressive stresses that exist at thermally grown oxide (TGO)/bond coat interface and within TGO respectively decrease with an increase in bond coat thickness. Effect of bond coat thickness on axial tensile stresses is not significant. However, axial compressive stresses that exist at the edge of the specimen near bond coat/substrate interface decrease appreciably with the increase in bond coat thickness. Residual stress profile as a function of bond coat thickness is further explained for comparative analysis of both coatings to draw some useful conclusions helpful in failure studies of TBCs.

The prochlore structure ceramic of Sm2Zr2O7 was synthesized by chermical coprecipitation method. Then the feedstock powder for plasma spraying was prepared by spray drying with proper distribution of particle size about 30–70μm. The thermal barrier coatings with a topcoat of Sm2Zr2O7 and with a two– layer topcoat of Sm2Zr2O7/YSZ were prepared by atmospheric plasma spraying(APS). The cohesive strength of Sm2Zr2O7/YSZ coating presented a value of 15.49 Mpa and 23.37 Mpa, respectively. Microstructure and phase analyses reveal that plasma spraying of complex Sm2Zr2O7 is accompanied with the formation of the transverse crack networks. the TBCs with topcoat of Sm2Zr2O7 and Sm2Zr2O7/YSZ performed a thermal cycles of 35 and 60 separately under the test temperature of 1100°C. The thermally grown oxide at the topcoat–bondcoat interface was also the major factors that lead to the coating failure on thermal cycling at about 1100°C.
