(PS) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) by reducing surface roughness, eliminating open
porosity on the surface and generating a controlled segmented crack network, although the
relationship of the processing parameters with the resultant properties has not yet been
completely established. In this investigation, TBCs consisting of atmospheric plasma-
sprayed (APS) ZrO2–8wt.% Y2O3 were subjected to a CO2 continuous wave laser-glazing …
