In this paper, the impedance spectroscopy technique was employed to examine nondestructively the isothermal oxidation of air plasma sprayed (APS) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) in air at 800°C. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) were also used to characterize the microstructure evolution of TBCs. After oxidation, the thermally grown oxide (TGO), which was mainly composed of alumina as confirmed by EDX, formed at the upper ceramic coat/bond coat interface, the lower bond coat/substrate interface, and the bond coat. Impedance diagrams obtained from impedance measurements at room temperature were analyzed according to the equivalent circuit model proposed for the TBCs. Various observed electrical responses relating to the growth of oxides and the sintering of YSZ were explained by simulating the impedance spectra of the TBCs.

The effects of intrinsic feature of feedstock in air plasma-sprayed (APS) coatings on the microstructure and mechanical properties of vertical-cracked thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) were investigated in thermal exposure. The microstructure after the thermal exposure for 400 h is densified, while after the thermal exposure for 800 h various defects such as interlamellar cracks and the vertical and horizontal cracks are newly developed, even though the total porosity is decreased. The microstructure of the TBC prepared with 204 C-NS is more porous than that of the TBC with 204NS, showing higher mechanical properties and better thermal stability in the TBC with 204 NS.

The aluminum depletion of NiCrAlY bond coat in an air-plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coating (TBC) has been studied by experimental and simulative approaches. Upon thermal exposure, Al depletion regions were observed. The depletion of aluminum is resulting from Al diffusion towards the surface of bond coat and into substrate. A mathematical model of Al depletion was presented. The model is able to explain the observed results in a qualitative way and has been shown that Al depletes within the bond coat by diffusion.
