The durability of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) can dictate the life of the hot section engine
components on which they are applied. In this study, we examine the microstructural …

One of the most critical damage of Thermal barrier coatings (TBC) results from the spallation
of the yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) layer. The toughness of the interface between the bond …

Failure in plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coatings systems mostly takes place in the
ceramic topcoat or at the interface between the topcoat and the bondcoat. The failure …

In recent years, thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are widely applied to the surface of gas-
turbine engines to prolong the service life of high temperature components. The increase in …

Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) have been extensively used in aircraft engines for improved
durability and performance for more than 15 years. Systematic research [1–4] has …

This article describes ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation (NDE) to detect the changes of
