Abstract

Long lifetime of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) is limited by the localized thermally grown oxide (TGO) accumulation. Herein, the heterogeneous multilayered delamination mechanism of TGO is revealed. TGO cracking preferentially occurs at the peak of bond coat due to mismatch and extends toward the flank region under TGO growth. The thinner sublayer after first delamination is mainly attributed to loss of ceramic constraint. The delamination accumulation increases the YSZ crack driving force and provides a fast propagation channel for YSZ crack to pass through TGO. These results provide a guidance for the development of advanced TBC with higher oxidation resistance.
