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 …

A Finite Element Model (FEM) was developed to evaluate the stresses induced by the
thermal cycling in a typical plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coating system (TBCs). The …

During thermal cyclic loading, plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) often show
failure within the top coat close to the interface. In all cases this results from crack …

In this paper, the effect of the waviness of the bond coat and the thickness of the thermally
grown oxide (TGO) layer on the stability of plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coatings is …

Plasma-sprayed TBCs typically consist of a ceramic top-coat and a metallic bond-coat with
an irregular metal/ceramic interface, which is required for better adhesion and, at the same …

A thermal barrier system with plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coating (TBC) has been
analyzed subject to thermal cycling. The thermally grown oxide (TGO) is allowed to grow at …

Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are designed to be able to withstand a severe environment
with coupled conditions including high temperature and thermal stresses. However, the …

The residual stress and failure mode of thermal barrier coating (TBC) containing metallic
bond coat (BC) and ceramic top coat (TC) with and without thermally grown oxide (TGO) …

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 …

Yttria-stabilized zirconia coatings were deposited by plasma spraying and heat-treated at
1100° C for 50, 100, 150, and 200 h in air, respectively. Mechanical properties including …
