    by G. Gholami, B. Saeedi, A. Sabour Rouhaghdam

    Oxidation behavior of nanostructured Ni-5Al HVOF coatings was studied. For this purpose, isothermal oxidation of the free standing coatings was performed at 950°C. Lattice parameter...


  • Study of microstructure and thermal shock behavior of two types of thermal barrier coatings

    by B. Saeedi, A. Sabour, A. M. Khoddami

    Gas turbines provide one of the most severe environments challenging material systems nowadays. Only an appropriate coating system can supply protection particularly for turbine blades. This study was made by comparison of properties of two different types of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) in order to improve the surface characteristics of high temperature components. These TBCs consisted of a duplex TBC and a five layered functionally graded TBC. In duplex TBCs, 0.35 mm thick yittria partially stabilized zirconia top coat (YSZ) was deposited by air plasma spraying and ∼0.15 mm thick NiCrAlY bond coat was deposited by high velocity oxyfuel spraying. ∼0.5 mm thick functionally graded TBC was sprayed by varying the feeding ratio of YSZ/NiCrAlY powders. Both coatings were deposited on IN 738LC alloy as a substrate. Microstructural characterization was performed by SEM and optical microscopy whereas phase analysis and chemical composition changes of the coatings and oxides formed during the tests were studied by XRD and EDX. The performance of the coatings fabricated with the optimum processing conditions was evaluated as a function of intense thermal cycling test at 1100 °C. During thermal shock test, FGM coating failed after 150 and duplex coating failed after 85 cycles. The adhesion strength of the coatings to the substrate was also measured. Finally, it is found that FGM coating has a larger lifetime than the duplex TBC, especially with regard to the adhesion strength of the coatings.
