Laser scanning modification was applied to secondarily melt the top ceramic coating surface of lanthanum zirconate/yttria-stabilized zirconia double ceramic thermal barrier coatings (LZO/YSZ TBCs) to reduce the gas oxygen diffusion and improve the TBCs service life. Isothermal oxidations with different times were carried out on the as-sprayed (AS) TBCs and laser-remolten (LR) TBCs at 1100 °C to investigate thermally growth oxide (TGO)growth mechanisms and isothermal oxidation behaviors. The results showed that the laser-remolten top-ceramic-coating dense layer with a columnar crystal structure of LR TBCs presented a 96.3% and 59.1% lower surface roughness and porosity, respectively, than those of the top ceramic coating of AS TBCs, and the TGO growth rate of LR TBCs decreased by 46.2% compared to that of AS TBCs. The mixed-oxides appearance time of LR TBCs (50 h) was later than that of AS TBCs (25 h). After 100 h of isothermal oxidation, the total TGO thickness of LR TBCs was only 77.2% of that of AS TBCs, and the effects of the laser-remolten TBCs on gas oxygen diffusion inhibition and high-temperature oxidation resistance were promising in LZO/YSZ TBCs.
