The Effects of Oxidation-Induced Failures on Thermal Barrier Coatings with Platinum Aluminide and NiCoCrAlY Bond Coats

TL;DRAbstract

Abstract : This program has been directed at determining the mechanisms by which oxidation causes failure of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) and developing modified systems with improved resistance to Oxidation-induced failures. The thermal barrier coating was yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) deposited via electron beam vapor deposition (EBPVD). This TBC was deposited on both platinum aluminide and NiCoCrA1Y bond coats which in turn were deposited on superalloy substrates of Rare N5. The oxidation testing was performed at 1000 deg, 1100 deg and 1200 deg C in air using cyclic exposures. The approach consisted of initially examining state-of-the-art systems and based upon the results obtained to prepare modified TBCs. Emphasis was placed upon bond coat modifications. In the case of the NiCoCrA1Y bond coats it was found that defects in the as-processed coatings at the TBC-bond coat interface caused failures. Procedures to prevent the formation of such defects extended TBC lives. The lives
