Abstract
Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBCs) are functional coatings used to protect high-temperature components that are prone to early damage and premature failure under the influence of complex working conditions. This paper examines the crack propagation behaviour of 8% yttria-stabilized zirconia (8YSZ) EB-PVD TBCs under different oxidation conditions at 1100 °C. The morphology of interfacial cracks after oxidation was summarized and the evolution of thermally grown oxide (TGO) was quantified. Based on the evolution of TGO, the causes of crack propagation were analyzed. For the specimens after oxidation experiment, the interfacial crack propagation behaviour was observed and analyzed by SEM, and the reason of lateral crack propagation was explained from the perspective of interfacial fracture toughness. The reason for crack deflection is analyzed from the perspective of energy release rate. The equivalent thickness, normalized rumpling index and two-dimensional roughness index were calculated, then the TGO growth behaviour was comprehensively analyzed and related to the crack propagation.
