Thermal Cyclic Behaviour of Conventional YSZ and Mullite-YSZ Thermal Barrier Coatings

Article Preview

Abstract:

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.
