Abstract
CMAS attack is known to occur owing to the deposition of volcanic ash onto thermal barrier coating (TBC) surface at a high-temperature environment. The serious problem is TBC spallation resulting from the infiltration of molten volcanic ash into the porous microstructure of TBC. The infiltration induces inner stress and phase transformation, which directly results in those serious problems. In this study, the diffusional equation for expressing the infiltrating process of the molten ash into the porous structure of TBC and the associated constitutive equation considered regarding phase transformation are formulated. The equations are installed into commercial finite element (FE) code (MARC) using the user subroutine. The numerical simulation results are compared with the cross-sectional SEM observation for the volcanic-ash-deposited TBC sample exposed at a high-temperature to confirm verification of the model proposed herein.
