Thermal Analysis & Studies on Low Pressure Gas Turbine Blades Coated with Yitria Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ)

Abstract:

The thermal barrier coatings have many potential applications in the protection of gas turbine engine components, essentially the turbine blades.In this study micro analysis was carried out on Yitria Stabilized Zirconia(YSZ) coated turbine blades and the results are compared with the uncoated blades.We have used the atmosphere plasma sprayed thermal barrier coating with a thickness of 0.25mm to withstand the high temperature of about 2000 C.We observed that by increasing the thermal coating thickness of about 0.25mm cause to increase 50% of the surface temperature of the turbine blade,which in turn increased the aero engine thrust.
