Abstract
Asperities in atmospheric plasma sprayed (APS) CoNiCrAlY bond coatings were observed to rapidly form spinel-type oxides growing into the APS yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) top coating during isothermal exposures. To minimize these transient oxides, bond coatings were either lightly or heavily modified to remove asperities, prior to top coating deposition. After a 100 h isothermal exposure at 1100 °C in dry air, modified regions formed a thin, Al-rich thermally grown oxide (TGO) scale while unmodified regions formed Cr- and Ni-rich transient oxide. However, in 1-h furnace cycle testing (FCT) at 1100 °C, the modified bond coatings showed a reduced average lifetime compared to the specimens with unmodified bond coatings. The benefit of asperities may be to geometrically inhibit crack propagation, but the volume of transient oxide formed may also densify the adjacent YSZ and further inhibit cracking.
