Motivation
Thermal Barrier Coatings IV, Irsee, 26.06.2014
Ongoing effort to increase operating temperature / efficiency
~ 1200-1250 °C
[after: Marini and Morrison; Proc. 7th Int. Charles Parsons Turbine Conf. /2007 ]
However, the temperature limit of 7YSZ is around 1250°Cdue to phase transformations above this temperature [1] Search for new materials / new TBC solutions

Approach – Bi‐Layer TBC
Thermal Barrier Coatings IV, Irsee, 26.06.2014
Bi‐Layer Concept:• surface temperatures > 1250 °C
• crack resistance to TGO growth induced stresses
• avoiding unwanted reactions between GZO and TGO
GZO: Gd2Zr2O7(APS)
APS YSZ
bond coatTGO
• Optimization of spray process
• Sample manufacturing
• Oxidation testing• Mechanical testing
(Charalambides test, Gic)• TGMF testing
• Oxidation testing• Mechanical testing
(4‐point bending test, c)• Lifetime modeling

1. 2.
What are the individual peaks?
• Tensile geometry does not lead to well separated peaks• Some samples show gradually increasing AE signal at the beginning
However, maybe 3 signals can be identified:

Summary
Thermal Barrier Coatings IV, Irsee, 26.06.2014
• Mechanical 4‐point bending with in‐situ acousticemission measurement is a valuable tool to assessdamage processes in bi‐layer TBCs
• A modeling approach for bi‐layer TBCs has been developed to delineate areas of safe operation from areas where failure is imminent ‐> mechanical stability diagram
