Mechanical Properties of Multi-Sized Porous Thermal Barrier Coatings at Micro and Nano Scales after Long-Term Service at High Temperature

Abstract

Atmospheric plasma-sprayed multi-sized porous structures in thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) were constructed with hollow spherical (HOSP) 8YSZ powders and polypropylene pore formers. The mechanical properties of the multi-sized TBCs were investigated through the nanoindentation method as comparations of the as-sprayed coating and those serving at 1100 °C for a long-term. The results showed that the introduction of the multi-sized pores into TBCs could lead to the decrease of the hardness and modulus as well as the increase of fracture toughness. The hardness and modulus of the coating increased, and the fracture toughness of the coating decreased with the prolongation of the serving times at high temperatures. The mechanical properties of the coating became stable after 60 days’ serving at 1100 °C. The hardness, elastic modulus and fracture toughness of the TBCs increased to 6.51, 7.79, 10.04 GPa and 126.36, 135.13, 145.22 GPa as well as 1.049, 1.157, 1.255 MPa·m0.5, respectively, corresponding to the multi-sized porous TBCs with 0%, 10% and 15% PP powders. The nano-size pores disappeared gradually in the multi-sized TBCs during serving at 1100 °C. The macropores deposited between the ceramic particles penetrated with little diffusion and were not easy to disappear. The introduction of a multi-scale pore structure into the TBCs could improve the stress-strain tolerance of the TBCs.

Sustainable Approach of Innovative Wind Turbine Maintenance Using Biohydrogen Fuel Produced from Microalgae

“…Different advantages of coatings coordinate warm inadequacy from cyclic activity, surface faultlessness and disintegration in blower coatings and power development stacking when one is considering warm checks. An optional thought in any case maybe rather more relevant as far as possible is their capacity to persist through hurt from light effects without spalling to an illegal degree considering the subsequent move in the neighborhood metal temperatures [26].…”

Mesoscale Simulation and Evaluation of the Mechanical Properties of Ceramic Seal Coatings

“…From the scraping position, the stress gradually extended forward and downward along the moving direction of the blade. The pores absorbed deformation energy, and effectively released the stress concentration so that the stress near the pores was significantly lower than that in the high-stress region in red [28].…”

Laser cladding of IN713 LC superalloy with Amdry 997 powder: microstructural evolution

“…Thermogravimetry-Differential Thermal Analysis (TG-DTA) analysis shows that the maximum service temperature of Amdry 997 is a little lower than that of Amdry 962. Gao et al [8] used an APS system to coat the Inconel 718 substrate. The bond coat was Amdry 997 and the top coat was Metco 204 NS.…”
