Stress states and crack behavior in plasma sprayed TBCs based on a novel lamellar structure model with real interface morphology

To ascertain the crack growth behavior and coalescence mechanism in thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) is beneficial for understanding the failure of TBCs and proposing the probable optimization methods. In this work, a novel lamellar structure model with real interface morphology is developed to explore the crack growth behavior and the failure mechanism of TBCs during thermal cycling. Three typical defects which include pore, inter-splat crack, and intra-splat are incorporated in the model. To simulate the oxidation process of the bond coat (BC) realistically, The oxidation growth process is simulated via changing the BC properties to thermally grown oxide (TGO) properties layer by layer. The effects of the lateral growth strain distribution through TGO thickness on the stress states are executed. Moreover, the influences of BC creep on the crack growth and coating lifetime are further elaborated. The results show that the larger the lateral growth strain gradient, the smaller the residual tensile stress. The irregular interface morphology results in the redistribution of residual stresses. Although the pores and cracks can alleviate the tensile stress near the valley, large stress concentration will occur near them. At the early phase of thermal cycling, the cracks grow steadily. After more cycles, the cracks propagate rapidly and merge with others. The simulated delamination path is in agreement with the experiment results. Not only does BC creep change the crack coalescence mechanism, it also decreases the thermal cyclic lifetime of TBCs. The coating optimization method proposed in this study provides another option for developing advanced TBCs with longer lifetime.

Comprehensive understanding of horizontal and vertical crack effects on failure mechanism of lamellar structured thermal barrier coatings

The local spalling induced by the propagation and coalescence of cracks in the ceramic layer is the fundamental reason for the thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) failure. To clarify the effects of horizontal and vertical cracks on the coating failure, an integrated model combining dynamic TGO growth and ceramic sintering is developed. The effects of cracks on the normal and shear stress characteristics are analyzed. The driving force and propagation ability of cracks under different configurations are evaluated. The interaction between horizontal and vertical cracks is explored by analyzing the variation of the crack driving force. The results show that TGO growth causes the ratcheting increase of σ₂₂ tensile stress above the valley, and the σ₁₂ shear stress is on both sides of the peak. Ceramic sintering mainly contributes to the ratcheting increase of σ₁₁ tensile stress. There is minimum strain energy when the horizontal crack extends to the peak. The vertical cracks on the surface of the ceramic layer are easier to propagate through the coating than that of other locations. When the horizontal and vertical cracks simultaneously appear near the valley, they can promote the propagation of each other. The present results can offer theoretical support for the design of an advanced TBC system in the future.     

Vertical crack distribution effect on the TBC delamination induced by crack growth from the ceramic surface and near the interface

The propagation of vertical crack on the surface of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) may affect the interface cracking and local spallation. This research aims to establish a TBC model incorporating multiple cracks to comprehensively understand the effects of vertical crack distribution on the coating failure. The continuous TGO growth and ceramic sintering are together introduced in this model. The influence of the vertical crack spacing and non-uniform distribution on the stress state, crack driving force, and dynamic propagation is examined. Moreover, the influence of coating thickness on the crack growth driving is also explored. The results show that large spacing will lead to early crack propagation. The uniform distribution of vertical cracks can delay the spallation. When the spacing is less than 4 times ceramic coat thickness, the cracking driving force will come in a steady-state stage with the increase of vertical crack length. Prefabrication of vertical cracks with spacing less than 0.72 mm on the coating surface can greatly decrease the strain energy. The results in this study will contribute to the construction of an advanced TBC system with long lifetime.     

Sintering,thermal expansion,and thermal transport properties of A4Ta2O9 (A= Ca,Mg) tantalates

Searching for new oxides with low thermal conductivity and high thermal expansion coefficients (TECs) as thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) is vital for the development of highly efficient gas turbines and aeroengines. We report the densification sintering, high TECs, and low thermal conductivity of A₄Ta₂O₉ (A = Ca, Mg) tantalates. The best sintering temperature of dense A₄Ta₂O₉ ceramics was determined via an optical contact angle tester, and samples with a relative density of 99.8% were synthesized via spark plasma sintering (SPS). The hardness (9–10 GPa), Young's modulus (172.7–211.8 GPa) and fracture toughness (1.5–1.6 MPa m^1/2) of the A₄Ta₂O₉ ceramics are primarily affected by the bonding strength. Furthermore, we studied the thermal transport properties of A₄Ta₂O₉. The low thermal conductivity (1.78–1.93 W m^?1 K^?1 at 900 °C), extraordinary phase stability, and high TECs (11.4–11.8 × 10^?6 K^?1 at 1200 °C) of A₄Ta₂O₉ ceramics make them candidate TBCs with high operating temperatures.     

Peridynamic-based investigation of the cracking behavior of multilayer thermal barrier coatings

Numerical simulations of the cracking behavior of the top layers of multilayer thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) can effectively reveal the failure mechanisms of the TBCs. Current finite element method (FEM)-based simulation means have been applied to solve certain simple cracking problems in TBCs; however, they cannot effectively describe complex cracking problems in TBCs such as coalescence, intersection, and interference among multiple cracks. Peridynamic (PD), a newly developed mechanical theory, has been widely studied to provide analysis for cracking problems in TBCs. In this paper, a numerical model of TBCs is built by the bond-based PD (BB-PD) theory. Complex cracking behaviors, such as spontaneous crack propagation at both interfacial and internal regions, coalescence, and interference among multiple cracks, are simulated under isothermal cooling and gradient cooling conditions. In addition, the effects of interfacial roughness and calcium–magnesium–alumina–silicate (CMAS) inclusions on the cracking behavior are discussed. The results show that the PD model accurately captures complex cracking behaviors observed via scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Given the ability of the model for analyzing discontinuities in TBCs, it can help to further clarify the fracture mechanisms of TBCs.
