Abstract
Double-ceramic-layer (DCL) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) of La 2Zr 2O 7 (LZ) and yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) were deposited by electron beam-physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD). The composition, crystal structure, surface and cross-sectional morphologies and cyclic oxidation behavior of the DCL coating were studied. Both the X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric–differential thermal analysis (TG–DTA) prove that LZ and YSZ have good chemical applicability to form a DCL coating. The thermal cycling test at 1373 K in an air furnace indicates the DCL coating has a much longer lifetime than the single layer LZ coating, and even longer than that of the single layer YSZ coating. The failure of the DCL coating is a result of both the bond coat oxidation and the thermal strain between bond coat and ceramic layer generated by the thermal expansion mismatch. Additionally, the compressive stress initiated during cooling is also an important factor to control the cleavage of the interface between the LZ and YSZ coatings. Since no single material that has been studied so far satisfies all the requirements for high temperature TBCs, DCL coating is an important development direction of TBCs.
