Abstract

This paper describes the effects of porosity and thermal ageing at 950°C for 4000 hr. in air on in-plane cracking behavior of plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coating (TBC) made up of 8 % yittria-stabilized zirconia. The in-plane TBC cracking was analyzed by a protruded TBC bend testing technique together with finite element stress analysis. As-deposited and aged TBC protruded specimens showed a large variation of porosity depending on the location of specimen extraction. The critical local tensile stress (s) necessary for the initiation of in-plane cracks for each specimen with different porosity was determined using elastic moduli (E) estimated from the porosity dependence of E. The s for in-plane cracking of the as-deposited TBC initially increased with increasing porosity and showed a peak when the porosity reached 0.23. It was shown that in-plane cracking at the interface of TBC and thermally grown oxides required much higher s than that at the interface of TBC and bond coatings. The thermal ageing led to a slight increase in s for away-from-interfacial TBC cracking. The dependence of in-plane TBC cracking behavior on the porosity is discussed in terms of effective critical stress via the Griffith criterion for porous materials.
