Abstract: | Thermal conductivity of various porous thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) used at elevated temperatures for gas turbines has been evaluated using the proposed six-phase model. These TBCs rely on microstructural properties and yield different types of porosities. This paper studies the thermal conductivity of TBCs based on microstructural features to evaluate the effect of different types of porosities on thermal conductivity. The first part of this paper investigates the microstructural characterization of various TBCs using image analysis (IA) technique. The second part of this paper evaluates the thermal conductivity using the image analysis. The volumetric fraction of porosities along with their orientation, shape and morphology, shows a considerable impact on the overall thermal conductivity of TBCs. The proposed six-phase model can predict thermal conductivity of porous TBCs with a good agreement with the measured values. The model results can help to better understand the effect of microstructural changes on thermal conductivity and can provide useful guide to fabricate TBCs with low thermal conductivity. |
