Abstract

In the present study glass-ceramic−8YSZ based multilayered functionally graded corrosion resistant coating was developed for gas turbine applications. Corrosion resistance property of developed coating was evaluated by exposing coating to molten mixture of 80 wt% Na2SO4 + 20 wt% NaCl in air at 1000 °C up to 100 h. It was found that coating morphology was gradually changed with respect to time at 1000 °C. No thermally grown oxide (TGO) layer was observed within different layers of TBC. However, thin reaction film was developed at substrate-coating interface, which helped to increase adherence of coating with substrate. Tetragonal zirconia to monoclinic zirconia phase transformation was not occurred in top coat even after long corrosive salt attack that strengthened TBC system. Developed coating showed good potential to be used as corrosion resistant coating for actual superalloy based gas turbine engine components.
