This paper presents the results of dilatometry and DTA analyses performed on a Ni base super alloy sample on which a ZrO2/20%Y2O3 coating was deposited. The tests were done at similar temperatures as those present in a gas turbine engine at the inlet of the turbine. The purpose is to assess how a turbine blade with a ZrO2/20%Y2O3 coating would behave to changes in volume due to temperature and structural changes. The differential thermal analyses and thermo gravimetric analyses were performed on the DTA PT 1600 Linseis installation. The thermal dilatometry was performed on the L75HX XXXX installation.
