Failure of air plasma sprayed (APS) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) with a double-layered
bond coat was investigated. The bond coat consists of a dense layer near the substrate side …

Two layered thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) with different bond coat surface roughnesses
were produced by air plasma spraying. Isothermal oxidation test was carried out to evaluate …

Significant internal oxidation was found in air plasma sprayed (APS) thermal barrier coating
(TBC) samples with double-layered high velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) NiCoCrAlY bond coats …

The oxidation behavior of an air-plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coating (APS-TBC) system
was investigated in both air and low-pressure oxygen environments. It was found that mixed …

The failure mechanisms of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) subjected to a thermal load are
still not entirely understood. Thermal stresses and/or oxidation cause the coating to fail and …

This research was directed at developing the fundamentals that will facilitate the fabrication
of air plasma sprayed (APS) yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) thermal barrier coatings (TBC) …

The aim of this study is to investigate the failure mechanisms of coin-shaped plasma-
sprayed thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) for gas turbine blades due to cyclic thermal fatigue …

Thick yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) of 1.5 mm thickness
were produced using atmospheric plasma spraying (APS). The microstructures …

A three-dimensional finite element model of a conventional plasma-sprayed thermal barrier
coating was set up with an irregular top-coat/bond-coat interface that was modelled based …

In order to evaluate the durability of plasma sprayed thermal barrier coating (TBC) systems
with different coating characteristics such as the coating defect structures and interfacial …
