    Abstract

    The failure mechanisms of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) subjected to a thermal load are still not entirely understood. Thermal stresses and/or oxidation cause the coating to fail and hence must be minimized, During the present investigation, TBCs up to 1.0 mm were sprayed and withstood high thermal stresses during thermal testing. Owing to the substantial thickness, the temperature at the top coat/bond coat interface was relatively low, resulting in a low oxidation rate. Furthermore, bond coats were preoxidized before applying a top coat. The bond strength and the behavior during three different thermal loads of the preoxidized TBCs were compared with a standard duplex TBC, Finite-element model (FEM) calculations that took account of bond coat preoxidation and interface roughness were made to calculate the stresses occurring during thermal shock. It is concluded that the thick TBCs applied during this research exhibit excellent thermal shock resistance and that a preoxidizing treatment of the bond coat increases the lifetime during thermal loading, where oxidation is the main cause of failure. The FER-I analysis gives a first impression of the stress conditions on the interface undulations during thermal loading, hut further development is required
