Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Columnar structured thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) have been intensively investigated due to their potential to enhance the durability and reliability of gas turbine engine components. These coatings consist of vertically aligned columns that provide excellent resistance to thermal cycling. In this study, the lifetime of columnar suspension-plasma-sprayed (SPS) TBCs was evaluated using burner rig tests. The tests were carried out under high-temperature conditions. Significantly, the pre-oxidation of the bondcoat during diffusion bonding treatment was found to have a substantial impact on the performance of the SPS TBCs. The optimized treatment resulted in columnar SPS TBCs demonstrating excellent thermal stability and resistance under the test conditions. The lifetime of the coatings was significantly extended compared to conventional TBCs by pre-oxidation of the CoNiCrAlY bondcoat in argon, which suggests that columnar SPS TBCs have great potential for use in gas turbine engines.
