Determination of residual stresses in thermal barrier coating due to the amount of CMAS infiltration

Abstract

In this work, we present the effect of the amount of CMAS infiltration into YSZ of Thermal barrier coatings (TBC) on the magnitude of residual stresses. The (TBC) were deposited by thermal spraying of CoNiCrAlY (Bond Coat-BC) and YSZ (Top Coat-TC) powders. The deposition of the BC was through the high velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) system. The TC was deposited via an atmospheric plasma-spraying gun (APS). The TBCs were heat treated at 1250 °C, with a CMAS attack at a concentration of 10 mg/cm².The attack exposure was for 2 and 4 hours respectively. In this evaluation, the measured parameter was the magnitude of the residual stress state in Yttria Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ). The residual stress profiles were obtained using the Modified Layer Removal Method for Duplex Coatings (MRCMRB) and the Noda equations. An increase of 26.446 MPa was determined for 2 hours of thermal treatment and 30.743 MPa for 4 hours.
