Thermo-elastic Stresses in High Temperature Coatings • An analytic and finite element method study of residual stresses in single layer and multi-layer thermal barrier coatings using Fortran and ANSYS.
Thermal Barrier Coatings • Used in aerospace, automotive and industry to protect parts from wear and temperatures. • Increase system efficiencies • Prolong, extend and restore part life • Increase operational envelopes
Overlay Coating Types • Air Plasma Spray • Plasma created in inert gas by electrical arc between electrodes. • Metallic Powder inject into plasma • Particles impacted onto substrate. • Heat transferred to substrate. • Coating particles deform, splatter, solidify, shrink creating an interspersed coating with cracks. • High Velocity Oxygen Fuel • Mixture of oxygen and fuel (hydrogen, kerosene, propylene, Propane) injected thru a sonic convergent-divergent nozzle to achieve supersonic velocity. • Due to high velocity and low residence time in air, oxide content is reduced. • Dense coating • Lower cost • Cannot melt ceramics • Low Pressure Plasma Spray • Performed in low pressure chamber • Powder fed thru plasma spray gun • Component is cleaned prior to coating. • Component preheated prior to coating • Coating follows cleaning
Diffusion Coatings • Electron Beam Physical Vapor Deposition • Lasts longer • Physical Vapor Deposition • Pack • More cost affective than other coating types • Chemical Vapor Deposition • Slow, inefficient • Hot dipping Coating Materials Nickel-Aluminum Cobalt-Aluminum Yttrium MCrAlY (NiCrAlCoY + Si, Hf) CoCrAlY Pt-Al – type 1 corrosion Aluminide Cr-Al -coating – type 1, 2 corrosion, used in diffusion Y2O3, ZrO2

Conclusions • Residual stresses are due to varying coefficients of expansion between substrate and coating(s), driven by temperatures during/at adherence and room temperatures and operating temperatures, Hooke’s Law: • In this case, the coating went into high compression and the substrate went into tension. • Increasing thickness of coating increased tensile stress in the substrate, which could lead to spallation. • Stress in coating is mostly unaffected with varying thickness and driven by change in temperature. • Changing thermal difference proportionate affects residual stresses in coating.
