Abstract

Corrosion of calcium magnesium aluminum silicate (CMAS) severely affects the durability of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs). In this study, 8 wt% Y2O3 partially stabilized ZrO2 (8YSZ) coatings were prepared using atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) technique, and a Pt–Al film was magnetron-sputtered onto the surface of the YSZ coating (Pt–Al-YSZ) to enhance its resistance against CMAS. The results indicated that the Pt–Al-YSZ coating displayed superior non-wetting performance against CMAS, as well as stronger resistance to CMAS corrosion. The results evidenced by Raman spectra and X-ray diffraction showed that phase transformation was smaller and corrosion depth was lower after CMAS corrosion at 1250 °C for 2 h. The thermal cycling test was also performed. The result demonstrated that the Pt–Al coating did not have a negative impact on the thermal cycling life of the YSZ TBCs. However, platinum tended to soften at high temperatures and became easily penetrated by molten CMAS. Therefore, it is necessary to further improve the strength of platinum layer to fully utilize its protective effect against CMAS attack.
