Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the MDPI Coatings Special Issue, “Thermal Barrier Coatings: Structures, Properties, and Applications”. This Special Issue aims to bring together original research articles and topical reviews with a focus on thermal barrier coatings for high-temperature applications. Thermal barrier coatings are used in thermally stressed areas in gas turbines and aircraft engines to protect structural components and increase process efficiency. It is important to gain a better understanding of the failure mechanism of traditional thermal barrier coating systems (consisting of a YSZ top-coat and an MCrAlY bond-coat) at elevated temperatures. It is also necessary to develop novel material solutions and coating processes. These new insights will pave the way to (i) further increasing gas temperatures, (ii) enhancing the lifetime of coating systems, and (iii) helping to establish thermal barrier coatings in novel engineering solutions, e.g., in reusable rocket engines. In this Special Issue, articles with fundamental or practical aspects are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Processes for coating deposition
  • Coating modification
  • Material systems and selection
  • Mechanical and thermal testing
  • Theoretical and computational modeling
  • Characterization of microstructures and interfaces
  • Lifetime modeling and prediction

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Thermal barrier coatings (TBC) used for turbine blades are indispensable for the most advanced aero-engines due to their excellent thermal insulation performance. Solid particle erosion (SPE) at high temperatures is one of the most critical factors in TBC failure. The high-temperature SPE failure behavior of TBC on circular sheets and turbine blades was investigated in this paper at erosion angles 60° and 90°. The high-temperature thermal shock behavior of TBC was also studied as the control group. The SPE failure mechanism of TBC is attributed to the spallation and thickness decrease of TBC. The formation of thermally grown oxide is the main reason for the TBC spallation, while the thickness decrease of TBC is due to the impaction of solid particles by near-surface cracking. The erosion angle is critical to the failure behavior of TBC, and TBC is more susceptible to SPE at an erosion angle of 60° than that at 90° because of the additional shear stress. Furthermore, a La2Ce2O7/YSZ double-ceramic-layer TBC was designed and deposited on turbine blades. The experimental results indicate that this type of double-layer TBC has more excellent performance under SPE than traditional YSZ TBC. Full article

Gadolinium zirconate (GZ) has become a promising thermal barrier coating (TBC) candidate material for high-temperature applications because of its excellent high-temperature phase stability and low thermal conductivity compared to yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ). The double-ceramic-layered (DCL) coating comprised of GZ and YSZ was confirmed to possess better durability. However, the particle-erosion resistance of GZ is poor due to its low fracture toughness. In this study, a novel erosion-resistant layer, an Al2O3-GdAlO3 (AGAP) amorphous layer, was deposited as the top layer to resist erosion. Three triple-ceramic-layer (TCL) coatings comprised of an Al2O3-GAP layer as the top layer, a GZ layer, a GZ/YSZ composite layer, and a rare-earth-doped gadolinium zirconate (GSZC) layer as the intermediate layer, and a YSZ layer as the base layer. For comparison, an AGAP-YSZ DCL coating without a middle layer was prepared as well. Under the erosion speed of 200 m/s, only a small amount of spallation occurred on the surface of the Al2O3-GAP layer, indicating a superior particle-erosion resistance. In the thermal shock test, the Al2O3-GAP layer experienced glass transition and the glass transition temperature was close to 1500 °C. The hardness of the Al2O3-GAP coating after glass transition increased ~170% compared to the as-sprayed Al2O3-GAP coating. Moreover, The DCL TBC and TCL TBCs exhibited different failure mechanisms, which illustrated the necessity of the middle layer. The finite element model (FEM) simulation also shows that the introduction of the GZ layer can obviously reduce the thermal stress at the TC/BC interface. In terms of coating with a modified GZ layer, the AGAP-GZ/YSZ-YSZ coating and AGAP-GSZC-YSZ coating showed a similar failure model to the AGAP-GZ-YSZ coating, and the AGAP-GSZC-YSZ coating exhibited better thermal shock resistance.

In a high-temperature, high-flame-velocity, and high-pressure gas corrosion environment, the intercolumnar pores and gaps of electron beam–physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) may serve as infiltration channels for molten calcium–magnesium–alumino–silicate (CMAS), leading to the severe degradation of TBCs.

In a high-temperature, high-flame-velocity, and high-pressure gas corrosion environment, the intercolumnar pores and gaps of electron beam–physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) may serve as infiltration channels for molten calcium–magnesium–alumino–silicate (CMAS), leading to the severe degradation of TBCs. In order to clarify the relationship between the roughness of the bond coat and the CMAS corrosion resistance of the EB-PVD TBCs, 7 wt.% yttria-stabilized zirconia (7YSZ) TBCs were prepared on the surfaces of four different roughness-treated bond coats. The effect of the bond coat roughness on the columnar microstructure of the EB-PVD YSZ was investigated. The effect of the change of the bond coat’s microstructure on the CMAS corrosion resistance of the EB-PVD YSZ was studied in detail. The results showed that the reduction in the roughness of the bond coat contributes to the improved formation of the EB-PVD YSZ columns. The small and dense columns are similar to a lotus leaf-like structure, which could reduce the wettability of CMAS and minimize the spread area between the coating and the CMAS melt. Thus, the CMAS corrosion resistance of the coating can be greatly improved. This preparation process also provides a reference for the preparation of other TBC materials, improving the resistance to CMAS hot corrosion. Full article
