 Abstract:
Yttria stabilized zirconia coatings were deposited by plasma spraying and heat treated at 1100for 50h, 100h, 150h and 200h in air, respectively. The microstructure and phase composition of coatings were analyzed. Residual stresses in the ceramic topcoat and the thermally grown oxide (TGO) layer before and after thermal exposure were measured using Raman spectroscopy and photoluminescence piezo-spectroscopy techniques, respectively. It was found that the accumulated tensile stress in the as-sprayed topcoat changed to compressive after thermal exposure, and the compressive stress in the topcoat increased with an increase of thermal exposure time up to 150h. The average compressive stresses in the TGO layer were higher than that of the cross-sectional topcoat, and the measured in-plane compressive stress increased firstly and then gradually decreased with increasing exposure time.The local interface geometry strongly affect the nature and evolution of hydrostatic stresses in the TGO. Finally, The crack initiation and propagation in the ceramic topcoat and at the topcoat/TGO/bond coat interface has been discussed with respect to the residual stresses in the plasma-sprayed TBC system.
