The residual stresses in the interface region of the Thermal Barrier Coating (TBC)/Thermally Grown Oxide (TGO)/Bond Coat (BC) were calculated on the TBC-coated superalloy samples using a Finite Element Method (FEM). It was found that the stress distribution of the interface boundary was dependent upon mainly the geometrical shape or its aspect ratio and the thickness of TGO layer, which was formed by growth and swelling behavior of oxide layer. Maximum compressive residual stress in the TBC/TGO interface is higher than that of the TGO/bond coat interface, and the tensile stress had nothing to do with change of an aspect ratio. The compressive residual stresses in the TBC/TGO and TGO/bond coat interface region increased gradually with the TGO growth.

In thermal barrier coating (TBC) systems, the life of the coating depends on thermally grown oxide (TGO) layer because most of the failure of TBCs occurs when TGO growth increases. In order to inhibit TGO growth, process was additionally carried out before the heat treatment of the TBC coating layer at $1200^{\circ}C$ in air. In the additional process, heat treatment in vacuum furnace of < $10^{-5}$ torr was conducted for 7 h and 14 h before the heat treatment. The area and length of TGO, as well as the crack length in the TBC were characterized using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The TGO thickness and crack of specimens pre-heat treated in vacuum furnace were reduced by 45% compare to those heat treated in furnace. Consequently, pre-heat treatment in a vacuum furnace process lead to effective inhibition of growth of the TGO.

Thermal barrier coating (TBC) which is used to protect the substrate of gas turbine is exposed to high temperature environment. Because of high temperature environment, thermally grown oxide (TGO) is grown at the interface of thermal barrier coating in operation of gas turbine. The growth of TGO critically affects to durability of TBC, so the evaluation about durability of TBC with TGOs of various thickness is needed. In this research, TGO was inserted by aging of TBC specimen to evaluate the effect of the TGO growth. Then thickness of TGO was defined by microstructure analysis, and thermal fatigue test was performed with these aging specimens. Finally, the relation between thermal fatigue life and the TGO growth according to aging time was obtained.

가스터빈에 적용되는 열차폐코팅은 가동 중 반복적인 열피로에 의하여 파손되므로, 열차폐코팅의 내구성평가가 필요하다. 고온 환경에 노출된 열차폐코팅의 내부에는 열생성산화물(TGO)이 성장하게 되는데, 이러한 열생성산화물(TGO)의 성장은 열차폐코팅의 주요 파손 원인으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 TGO의 성장을 고려한 열차폐코팅의 내구성평가는 반드시 선행되어야 하는 연구이다. 본 연구에서는 김대진등의 연구 결과로부터 열화시간에 따른 TGO 성장을 고려하여 유한요소해석을 수행하였으며, 이로부터 응력과 열화시간 사이의 관계를 도출하였다. 또한 열화시간에 따른 유한요소해석 결과와 김대진 등의 접착강도 시험 결과의 비교를 통하여 열차폐코팅의 내구성을 평가하였다.

Impedance spectroscopy is a non-destructive evaluation (NDE) method first proposed and developed for evaluating TGO layers with compressive stress inside thermally degraded plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coatings (PS TBCs). A bode plot (phase angle (h) vs. frequency (f)) was used to investigate the TGO layer on electrical responses. In our experimental study, the phase angle of Bode plots is sensitive for detecting TGO layers while applying compressive stress on thermal barrier coatings. It is difficult to detect TGO layers in samples isothermally aged for 100 hrs and 200 hrs without compressive stress, and substantial change of phase was observed these samples with compressive stress. Also, the frequency shift of the phase angle and change of the phase angle are observed in samples isothermally aged for more than 400 hrs.

Alpha-phase alumina TGO(Thermally Grown Oxide) forms on the interface between zirconia top coat and bond coat of thermal barrier coating system for superalloys during exposure to high temperature over $1000^{\circ}C$. It is known to provide a good protection against hot corrosion and to cause surface failure such as rumpling and cracking due to difference in thermal expansion coefficient from the substrate metal and the lateral growth. Consequently, mechanical properties of the alumina TGO at the high temperature are the key parameters determining the integrity of TBC system. In this work, by using Fecralloy foils as the alumina forming substrate, creep tests and tensile tests have been performed with various TGO thicknesses$(h=0{\sim}4{\mu}m)$ and yttrium contents(0, 200ppm) at $1200^{\circ}C$. Displacement-time curves and load-displacement curves for each TGO thickness(h=1,2,..) were measured from the creep and tensile tests, respectively, and compared with the curves without TGO thickness(h=0). As the result, the intrinsic tensile and creep properties of TGO itself were determined.

본 연구에서는 다양한 조건 하에서의 Bernese와 TGO와의 처리결과 비교를 통하여 상용 소프트웨어의 한계와 정밀측위에 대한 응용성을 검증하였다. 이를 위하여 전국규모의 세 가지의 관측데이터와 그 보다 작은 두 가지의 지역 데이터를 선정하여 망을 구성하고 Bernese와 TGO를 사용하여 기선해석 및 망조정을 통해 성과를 산출하여 소프트웨어별, 기선거리 및 망규모별, 관측시간별, 고정점 수별로 비교분석을 실시하였다. 소프트웨어 간 비교에서는 학술연구용 소프트웨어의 정확도가 우수하였다. 비록 GPS 관련 기술이 발달하면서 수신기의 정확도가 향상되었고 이에 병행하여 상용 소프트웨어도 발전을 거듭해왔으나 학술연구용 소프트웨어와의 평균성과차이를 볼 때 크지는 않지만 엄연한 차이가 존재했다. 따라서 가장 정밀한 위치정보가 요구될 때는, 특히 기선벡터가 큰 경우에는 필히 학술연구용 소프트웨어를 사용하여야 할 것이다.

The residual stress changes on thermo-mechanical loading in the interface region of the Thermal Barrier Coating (TBC)/Thermally Grown Oxide (TGO)/Bond Coat (BC) were calculated on the TBC-coated superalloys using a Finite Element Method (FEM). It was found that the residual stress of the interface boundary was dependent upon mainly the oxide formation and the swelling rate of the oxide by creep relaxation. During an oxide swelling, the relaxation of residual stress which is due to creep deformation increased the TBC's life. In the case of the fine grain size of TGO scale, the TBC stresses piled up by oxide swelling could be relaxed by diffusional creep effect of TGO.

Effects of top coat morphology and thickness on thermal fatigue behavior of thermal barrier coatings (TBC) were investigated in this study. Thermal fatigue tests were conducted on three coating specimens with different top coat morphology and thickness, and then the test data were compared via microstructures, cycles to failure, and fracture surfaces. In the air plasma spray specimens (APS1, APS2), top coat were 200 and $300{\mu}m$ respectively. The thickness of top coat was about $700{\mu}m$ in the perpendicular cracked specimen (PCS). Under thermal fatigue condition at $1,100^{\circ}C$, the cycles to top coat failure of APS1, APS2, and PCS were 350, 560 and 480 cycles, respectively. The cracks were initiated at the interface of top coat and thermally grown oxide (TGO) and propagated into TGO or top coat as the number of thermal fatigue cycles increased. For the PCS specimen, additive cracks were initiated and propagated at the starting points of perpendicular cracks in the top coat. Also, the thickness of TGO and the decrease of aluminium concentration in bond coat do not affect the cycles to failure.

Thermal barrier coating(TBC) applied to fighter and turbine engines is a technology that improves the durability of core parts by lowering the surface temperature of base material. The thermal stress caused by mis-match of the coefficient of thermal expansion between the top coating and the TGO interface is the main cause of TBC breakage. Since the thermal stress is dependent on the microstructure of the TBC, designing microstructure of TBC can improve the durability as well as lower the thermal stress. In this study, the effect of coating thickness, volume of porosity and vertical cracking on the thermal stress was analyzed through finite element analysis. Through the analysis results, a design range of a microstructure that can improve the durability of thermal barrier coating by lowering thermal stress is proposed.
