What are TBCs?
• Ceramic Coating • Most commonly used in the gas turbine engines• Yttria Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ)
• ZrO2 - 7 wt% Y2O3

What makes TBCs Useful?• Improves fuel efficiency
– Allows for higher continuous service temperature – Low Thermal conductivity ( ~ 1 W/mK )
• Improves engine reliability – Increases lifetime of parts– Prevent corrosion

Processing• Plasma spray• Lamella formation

Research Investigation
• Varying starting powder will affect lamella microstructure
• 3 powder sizes separated from a single YSZ batch– 18-26 µm– 37-52 µm– 74-105 µm

Experimental Procedure• Sample Preparation
– Sprayed onto cylindrical and flat Copper substrates• Archimedes Density
– Total porosity is calculated from suspended, saturated, and dry mass
– Measurements taken in as-sprayed condition and after heat treatments of 5 hours and 50 hours at 1400°C
• Dilatometer– Quantifies sintering of coatings as heat treated for 5 hours at
1400°C• SEM
– Use SEM micrographs to quantify lamella thickness• XRD
– Quantify phases present at each step during heat treatment– Based on intensity of t-ZrO2 and c-ZrO2 peaks

Archimedes Density• Uniform decrease in
porosity• Large particle
coatings displayed most porosity before and after heat treatment

Dilatometer
• Medium powder exhibited most shrinkage
• Driving force for densification

X-ray Diffraction
•Super Saturated Solid Solution of Y2O3 in ZrO2
•As Y2O3 diffuses out of ZrO2 , c-ZrO2 is formed

Future Research to be Explored
• Study phase transformation during heat treatment with respect to varying lamella size
• Study thermal conductivity of coatings throughout heat treatment with respect to varying lamella size
