In this study, disk type of thermal barrier coating system for gas turbine blade was isothermally aged in the furnace changing exposure time and temperature. The aging conditions that determination occurs were determined by the extensive microscopic analyses and bond tests for each aging condition. The delamination map was drawn from the time-temperature matrix form which summarize the delamination conditions. Finally, a method to draw the delamination life diagram of a thermal barrier coating system by using the delamination map was suggested

A gas turbine blade with thermal barrier ceramic coating is operated at high temperature to increase engine efficiency. Recently, thermal barrier characteristics have been improved by advanced coating technology through microstructure control and increase of adhesion force of the coating layer. More advanced coating materials, rare earth zircon ate ceramics have been studied for replacing YSZ coatings as thermal barrier coatings. In this study, $La_2O_3,\;HfO_2,\;CeO_2,\;Gd_2O_3$ and pure or yttria stabilized zirconia were prepared. Microstructure analysis and the evaluation of mechanical properties such as Hertzian indentation and hardness test were performed.

The effects of the purity and monoclinic phase of feedstock powder on the thermal durability of thermal barrier coatings (TBC) were investigated through cyclic thermal exposure. Bond and top coats were deposited by high velocity oxygen fuel method using Ni-Co based feedstock powder and air plasma spray method using three kinds of yttria-stabilized zirconia with different purity and monoclinic phase content, respectively. Furnace cyclic thermal fatigue test was performed to investigate the thermal fatigue behavior and thermal durability of TBCs. TBCs with high purity powder showed better sintering resistance and less thickness in the thermally grown oxide layer. The thermal durability was found to strongly depend on the content of monoclinic phase and the porosity in the top coat; the best thermal fatigue behavior and thermal durability were in the TBC prepared with high purity powder without monoclinic phase.

Thermal barrier systems are susceptible to instability of the thermally grown oxide(TGO) at the interface between the bond coat(BC) and the thermal barrier coating(TBC). The instabilities have been linked to thermal cycling and initial geometrical imperfections, as well as to misfit strains due to oxide growth and expansion misfit. In this work, deformation of TGO near a surface groove due to thermal cycling has been observed at high temperatures, $1100^{circ}C$, $1150^{circ}C$, $1200^{circ}C$. The effect of peak temperature and the thickness of substrate are presented.

In this study, disk type of thermal barrier coating system for gas turbine blade was isothermally aged in the furnace changing exposure time and temperature. For each aging condition, bond tests for three samples were conducted for evaluating degradation of adhesive or cohesive strength of thermal barrier coating system. For as-sprayed condition, the location of fracture in the bond test was in the middle of epoxy which have bond strength of 57 MPa. As specimens are degraded by thermal aging, bond strength gradually decreased and the location of failure was also changed from within top coat at the earlier stage of thermal aging to the interface between top coat and TGO at the later stage due to the delamination in the coating.

With increase in demand for higher operating temperatures of gas turbines, extensive research efforts have been carried out to enhance the performance of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) in the field of coating processing as well as materials. In this study, thermal barrier coatings in lanthanum/gadolinium zirconate system, which is one of the most promising candidates for replacing yttira-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) in thermal barrier coating applications, are fabricated via suspension plasma spray. Dense, $300{\sim}400{\mu}m$ thick coatings of fluoritephase zirconate with modest amount of segmented microstructures are obtained by using suspension plasma spray with suspensions of planetary-milled mixture between lanthanum and/or gadolinium oxide and nano zirconia. These coatings exhibit thermal conductivities of 1.6 ~ 1.7 W/mK at $1000^{\circ}C$, which is relatively lower than that of YSZ.
