Effects of Oxygen Gas Flow During Deposition on the Thermal Shock Life of YSZ Thermal Barrier Coatings Prepared by Electron Beam Physical Vapor Deposition
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Electron beam physical vapor deposited (EB-PVD) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are widely used to protect the hot section parts of aircraft engine turbines due to its uniform columnar microstructure and high strain tolerance. The microstructure and thermal shock life of 7 wt% Y2O3 stabilized zirconia (YSZ) coatings produced by EB-PVD were investigated as a function of oxygen gas flow during deposition. The surface and cross-section microstructure of EB-PVD YSZ coatings were highly influenced by the oxygen gas flow. When the oxygen gas flow is less than 60 sccm, a sandwich is formed between the bond coat (BC) layer and the YSZ layer, which significantly reduces the thermal shock life of the coating.
