Abstract

The addition of an air plasma sprayed (APS) “flash” bond coating layer on top of a high velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) bond coating significantly extended the lifetime of APS yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) thermal barrier coatings (TBC) on rod specimens of superalloy 247 tested using 100-h cycles in air+10%H2O at 1100 °C. The flash bond coatings of both NiCoCrAlY and NiCoCrAlYHfSi powder were compared to an HVOF-only and a vacuum plasma sprayed (VPS) NiCoCrAlYHfSi bond coating. The flash coatings appear to form a mixed oxide-metal zone, which likely inhibits crack formation and therefore extends lifetime compared to conventional bond coatings. The underlying dense HVOF layer appeared to act as a source of Al for this intermixed zone and prevented the oxide from penetrating deeper into the bond coating. Residual stress in the thermally-grown Al2O3 scale was measured using photo-luminescence piezospectroscopy (PLPS) as a function of time for each coating variation, including a comparison of concave and convex surfaces on a specially designed rod.
