Analysis of thermoelastic characteristics for vertical-cracked thermal barrier coatings through mathematical approaches

Effect of the Raw Material and Coating Process Conditions on the Densification of 8 wt% Y2O3-ZrO2 Thermal Barrier Coating by Atmospheric Plasma Spray

“…of the raw material powder itself and of spray process conditions are being performed, [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] as well as the studies on the structure control technology to manufacture TBC's with coating structures such as segmented microstructure known to have a high compliance to thermal fatigue environments due to excellent strain compliance. [14][15][16][17][18][19] The segmented microstructure is well known to have excellent strain compliance to substrates so as to be advantageous to thermal shock or high-temperature durability. 14,16,17) In the present study, commercial yttria-stabilized zirconia (8 wt% Y 2 O 3 stabilized ZrO 2, to be referred to as 8YSZ hereafter) powder was granulated by spray drying method, and TBC was prepared by plasma spray method.…”
