Abstract

The phase transformations in a plasma sprayed zirconia-titania-yttria thermal barrier coating (TBC), subjected to different thermal treatments, in the temperature range 900–1400°C, were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Different transformation trends dependent on the cooling rate of the specimens from the treatment temperature, were observed. The study of the fracture surfaces of the as-sprayed and thermally treated ceramic coatings, using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), allows elucidation of the changes in the microstructure and the fracture mechanisms. The as-sprayed and thermally treated (1400°C) ceramic microstructures were also studied using transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
