Abstract

A thermal shock test was conducted on an 8 wt% Y2O3 stabilized ZrO2 electron beam-physical vapor deposited (EB-PVD 8YSZ) thermal barrier coating with a (Ni, Pt)Al bond coating on the substrate with different curvature signs. The microstructural evolution and durability have been characterized. The microstructure of the top ceramic layer is strongly dependent on the substrate geometry. The results of the thermal shock test indicated that the sample with a positive curvature exhibits mixed mode spalling by the linking of cracks at TBC/TGO interface and TGO/BC interface. Spallation occurs primarily at the TGO/BC interface and inside the bond coats near to the surface of bond coats in planar samples. The spalling occurs principally at the TGO/BC interface in specimens with a negative curvature. The failure mechanism is elucidated integrate with stress analysis.
