To coat the materials used under high temperature such as gas turbine liners, is considerably important. Yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) is the most common material used for that purposes in commercial applications. Thermal barrier coatings damage due to the thermal expansion and internal stress, formed by the temperature variation. The micro and macro cracks, which are formed under service life of the coating, causes the coating failures such as spallation by developing crack network. In this research SiC and B4C powders added into commercial YSZ powder to improve thermal shock resistance. Two different powder ratio were prepared as %25(%12,5 SiC +B4C) %75 YSZ and %50(%25 SiC +B4C) %50 YSZ. After preparing powders coatings were manufactured using F4 plasma gun. Coated samples were subjected to thermal shock test in burner rig testing equipm...

Research paper thumbnail of STUDY OF THE MICROSTRUCTURE AND OXIDATION BEHAVIOR OF YSZ AND YSZ/Al2O3 TBCs WITH HVOF BOND COATINGS

A significant improvement in efficiency has been achieved by using thermal barrier coatings (TBCs... more A significant improvement in efficiency has been achieved by using thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) in gas turbines and diesel engines. A typical TBC is a multilayered coating system that comprises an oxidation-resistant metallic bond coating (BC) and a thermally insulating ceramic top coating (TC). Under service conditions an Al2O3 inter-layer, the thermally grown oxide (TGO), forms in the interface between the bond and the top coating, by a chemical reaction between the metallic aluminum from the BC material and the oxygen that comes from the environment through the pore channels of the TC. The aim of the present study is to describe the TGO formation on metallic bond coats deposited using the high-velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) spraying technique. Therefore, TBCs that consist of a YSZ top (ZrO2 + 8 % Y2O3) and YSZ-Al2O3 double-layer systems with CoNiCrAlY bond coats were deposited on Inconel 718 super-alloy substrates. The bond coats were applied via HVOF, with the ceramic top coats being applied by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) as well. The oxidation behaviors of the TBC systems were investigated. The oxidation tests were performed at 1000°C in an air atmosphere for (8, 24, 50) h. The formation and growth of the TGO layers and the microstructural changes during the oxidation tests were scrutinized systematically. The results indicate that the TBC coating with the YSZ-Al2O3 double layer had a higher oxidation resistance and a lower TGO layer growth than that of the traditional TBC system. Likewise, the initial state of the porosity plays a critical role in enhancing or limiting the growth of the TGO scale in the TBC. Keywords: thermal barrier coatings (TBCs), oxidation behavior, thermally grown oxide (TGO), high-velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF), atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) Dose`eno je bilo ob~utno izbolj{anje u~inkovitosti plinskih turbin in dieselskih motorjev z uporabo toplotnih za{~itnih prevlek (TBC). Zna~ilni TBC je ve~slojni varovalni sistem, ki vklju~uje prevleko, odporno proti oksidaciji, s kovinsko vezjo (BC) in toplotno izolativno kerami~no vrhnjo plastjo (TC). Pri obratovalnih razmerah vmesni sloj Al2O3 omogo~a nastanek oksidov (TGO) na stiku med vezivnim in vrhnjim slojem, s kemijsko reakcijo kovinskega aluminija iz BC-materiala in kisika, ki iz okolice prodira skozi pore TC. Namen te {tudije je opisati nastanek TGO na kovinskem vezivu, nanesenem z nabrizgavanjem s kisikovim plamenom z veliko hitrostjo (HVOF). TBC, ki sestoji na vrhu iz YSZ (ZrO2 + 8 % Y2O3) ter z dvoslojnim sistemom YSZ-Al2O3 z vezivno plastjo CoNiCrAlY so bili naneseni na podlago iz superzlitine Inconel 718. Vezivna plast je bila nanesena z HVOF, kerami~ni vrhnji sloj pa z atmosfersko plazmo (APS). Preiskovane so bile zna~ilnosti oksidacije TBS-sistema. Preizkusi oksidacije so bili izvr{eni na zraku pri 1000°C, za (8, 24 in 50) h. Med preizkusi oksidacije so bili sistemati~no preiskovani nastanek in rast TGO-plasti ter spremembe v mikrostrukturi. Rezultati ka`ejo, da ima TBC-prevleka YSZ-Al2O3 z dvojnim slojem bolj{o odpornost proti oksidaciji in manj{o rast TGO-plasti v primerjavi z navadnim TBC-sistemom. Videti je, da ima za~etna poroznost klju~no vlogo pri pospe{evanju ali zaviranju rasti TGO-plasti na TBC. Klju~ne besede: termi~ni varovalni sloj (TBC), vedenje pri oksidaciji, termi~na rast oksida (TGO), kisikov plamen z veliko hitrostjo (HVOF), atmosfersko plazemsko nabrizgavanje (APS)

The coatings are used for corrosion protection in a variety of industrial applications. In this study, the accelerated corrosion behavior of Zn, Al and Zn/15Al coatings on a steel surface during the salt-spray testing period was investigated. The surfaces of steel coupons were coated with Zn, Al and Zn/15Al using the TWEA spray-deposition system. The corrosion test was performed in a chloride atmosphere in a salt-spray test for over 2000 h. The corrosion of samples is assessed as the ratio of the corroded area of the specimens. The salt-spray test results showed that Al and Zn/15Al coatings have a better corrosion resistance than Zn coatings.

However, these conventional methods have many problems to be solved and they are not always established technologies. Therefore, a more economical and high-efficiency recycling procedure needs to be developed. In this study we investigated the applicability of the zinc-melt method (ZMM) for recycling WC-Co as a powder from cutting-tool scraps. It was proven that ZMM is an available technique for recovering the WC powder from the cutting tools. WC-Co powders are recovered and then spray dried, sintered and obtained as a feedstock material for thermal-spray coating processes.

In addition, they provide prevention of thermal shock, oxidation resistance and improved engine efficiency. A major life-limiting weakness of TBCs is their susceptibility to get damaged by thermally-induced stresses. The thermal shock behaviour of TBC systems subjected to thermal shock loading and the influence of the cracks on the coating durability was investigated experimentally. In this study, TBCs (NiCrAlY + YSZ), which have different sample geometry were subjected to both of gas burner and furnace thermal cycle tests. Sample geometry and cycle test type effect on the correlation of thermal shock behaviour of TBC coatings were characterized by macroscopic and microstructural investigations.

Therefore, TBCs that consist of a YSZ top (ZrO2 + 8 % Y2O3) and YSZ-Al2O3 double-layer systems with CoNiCrAlY bond coats were deposited on Inconel 718 super-alloy substrates. The bond coats were applied via HVOF, with the ceramic top coats being applied by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) as well. The oxidation behaviors of the TBC systems were investigated. The oxidation tests were performed at 1000°C in an air atmosphere for (8, 24, 50) h. The formation and growth of the TGO layers and the microstructural changes during the oxidation tests were scrutinized systematically. The results indicate that the TBC coating with the YSZ-Al2O3 double layer had a higher oxidation resistance and a lower TGO layer growth than that of the traditional TBC system. Likewise, the initial state of the porosity plays a critical role in enhancing or limiting the growth of the TGO scale in the TBC.

Zna~ilni TBC je ve~slojni varovalni sistem, ki vklju~uje prevleko, odporno proti oksidaciji, s kovinsko vezjo (BC) in toplotno izolativno kerami~no vrhnjo plastjo (TC). Pri obratovalnih razmerah vmesni sloj Al2O3 omogo~a nastanek oksidov (TGO) na stiku med vezivnim in vrhnjim slojem, s kemijsko reakcijo kovinskega aluminija iz BC-materiala in kisika, ki iz okolice prodira skozi pore TC. Namen te {tudije je opisati nastanek TGO na kovinskem vezivu, nanesenem z nabrizgavanjem s kisikovim plamenom z veliko hitrostjo (HVOF). TBC, ki sestoji na vrhu iz YSZ (ZrO2 + 8 % Y2O3) ter z dvoslojnim sistemom YSZ-Al2O3 z vezivno plastjo CoNiCrAlY so bili naneseni na podlago iz superzlitine Inconel 718. Vezivna plast je bila nanesena z HVOF, kerami~ni vrhnji sloj pa z atmosfersko plazmo (APS). Preiskovane so bile zna~ilnosti oksidacije TBS-sistema. Preizkusi oksidacije so bili izvr{eni na zraku pri 1000°C, za (8, 24 in 50) h. Med preizkusi oksidacije so bili sistemati~no preiskovani nastanek in rast TGO-plasti ter spremembe v mikrostrukturi. Rezultati ka`ejo, da ima TBC-prevleka YSZ-Al2O3 z dvojnim slojem bolj{o odpornost proti oksidaciji in manj{o rast TGO-plasti v primerjavi z navadnim TBC-sistemom. Videti je, da ima za~etna poroznost klju~no vlogo pri pospe{evanju ali zaviranju rasti TGO-plasti na TBC. Klju~ne besede: termi~ni varovalni sloj (TBC), vedenje pri oksidaciji, termi~na rast oksida (TGO), kisikov plamen z veliko hitrostjo (HVOF), atmosfersko plazemsko nabrizgavanje (APS)

The coatings are used for corrosion protection in a variety of industrial applications. In this study, the accelerated corrosion behavior of Zn, Al and Zn/15Al coatings on a steel surface during the salt-spray testing period was investigated. The surfaces of steel coupons were coated with Zn, Al and Zn/15Al using the TWEA spray-deposition system. The corrosion test was performed in a chloride atmosphere in a salt-spray test for over 2000 h. The corrosion of samples is assessed as the ratio of the corroded area of the specimens. The salt-spray test results showed that Al and Zn/15Al coatings have a better corrosion resistance than Zn coatings.

However, these conventional methods have many problems to be solved and they are not always established technologies. Therefore, a more economical and high-efficiency recycling procedure needs to be developed. In this study we investigated the applicability of the zinc-melt method (ZMM) for recycling WC-Co as a powder from cutting-tool scraps. It was proven that ZMM is an available technique for recovering the WC powder from the cutting tools. WC-Co powders are recovered and then spray dried, sintered and obtained as a feedstock material for thermal-spray coating processes.

Research paper thumbnail of The Effect of Samples Geometry and Thermal Cycling Test Type on the Thermal Shock Behaviour of Plasma Sprayed TBCs

In addition, they provide prevention of thermal shock, oxidation resistance and improved engine efficiency. A major life-limiting weakness of TBCs is their susceptibility to get damaged by thermally-induced stresses. The thermal shock behaviour of TBC systems subjected to thermal shock loading and the influence of the cracks on the coating durability was investigated experimentally. In this study, TBCs (NiCrAlY + YSZ), which have different sample geometry were subjected to both of gas burner and furnace thermal cycle tests. Sample geometry and cycle test type effect on the correlation of thermal shock behaviour of TBC coatings were characterized by macroscopic and microstructural investigations.
