“…In comparison, mixed oxides such as chromia (Cr 2 O 3 ), spinel ((Ni, Co) (Cr, Al) 2 O 4 ), and nickel oxide (NiO) [7,8,49,51], dramatically deteriorates the durability of TBCs. The results show that mixed oxides generated in TBCs during tests are quite limited, and thus the influence of mixed oxides on the lifetime of TBCs in this case can be ignored, as the TBCs failure mode is mainly related to TGO thickness [10,20,24,57]. In order to further determine the mechanism of the coating fracture, the surface morphologies of TBC samples after YSZ spallation were examined, as shown in Figure 7.…”
