Abstract
Atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) was used to prepare three-layer environmental barrier coatings (EBCs) Si/Yb2SiO5/LaMgAl11O19 (LMA) on a SiCf/SiC substrate. Isothermal aging test of the specimens were performed between 1000 and 1360 °C for 500 h. The flexural strength of the specimens after isothermal aging was investigated. Microcracks and holes were observed in the as-sprayed EBCs because of the shock cooling during the APS process, but reduced after isothermal aging, and the EBCs became denser. At least 80.07% of the flexural strength of the SiCf/SiC substrate with EBCs was maintained after isothermal aging, but only 35.91% strength was maintained without EBCs. In particular, the retention ratio of flexural strength was 90.72% after isothermal aging at 1360 °C, despite a reaction between the layers of the EBCs. All the specimens with EBCs showed “pseudo-plastic” fracture, compared with the brittle fracture of specimens without EBCs.
