The heterogeneous nature of plasma-sprayed coatings plays a major role in their
mechanical properties. The fundamental deformation modes are usually classified as …

In this paper, the mechanical properties and cracking features of yttria stabilized zirconia
with and without bond coat on steel substrates is investigated. Four point bending tests have …

Yttria (8 wt.%) stabilized zirconia (YSZ) with a NiCrAlY bond coat was atmospherically
plasma sprayed on mild steel substrates using various processing parameters including …

It is difficult to determine the elastic properties of thermal-sprayed ceramic and metallic
coatings owing to the microstructural complexity, sample size and geometry, heterogeneity …

The fatigue behavior and Young's modulus of plasma-sprayed gray alumina on low-carbon
steel substrates were investigated. The investigation of the properties of composites that …

An acoustic emission technique was used to monitor the cracking behavior and fracture
process of thermal barrier coatings subjected to tensile loading. Acoustic emission signals …

Plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coatings (TBCs), as-sprayed and pre-oxidized, were tested
under four-point tensile bending conditions, and their acoustic emission (AE) responses …

The deformation behavior of thermally sprayed partially stabilized zirconia (PSZ) coatings
are investigated using Hertzian indentation and four-point bend testing, with in situ acoustic …

Thermal spray coatings enhance the material properties of substrates but this attribute may
be negated if the coatings themselves fail. This paper investigates the performance of an …

This study concerns the effect of sintering-induced stiffening in promoting spallation of
plasma-sprayed yttria-stabilized zirconia thermal barrier coatings. Coatings with thickness in …
