Abstract
This work investigates the failure mechanism of an air plasma spraying (APS) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) with various bond coat (BC) surface toughness under constant temperature loading condition. Results show that the increased BC surface roughness decreased the lifetime. Moreover, the relationship between the TGO depth and the lifetime can be well described by linear law. The failure mechanism of the TBCs samples was studied by cross-sectional morphologies observation and using the finite element method (FEM). Cracks in the TBCs samples with higher BC surface roughness are initiated from the defects on the BC caused by Al depletion in the BC layer. However, cracks in the samples of TBCs with lower BC surface roughness condition preferentially occur at the TC-TGO interface. This finding could be attributed to the high mismatch stresses in the TC-TGO interface.
