Abstract
Thermal/Environmental barrier coatings (T/EBCs) operating in environments laden with siliceous debris are increasingly vulnerable to degradation from molten calcium‑magnesium-alumina-silicate (CMAS) deposits. As a promising ceramic coating material, the microstructure evolution and thermochemical interaction of dysprosia stabilized zirconia (DySZ) with CMAS attack at 1250 °C were systematically investigated. The results indicate that CMAS preferentially corrodes the DySZ from their grain boundary. The inherent grain boundary segregation characteristics of solute Dy atoms provided a convenient channel for grain boundary corrosion. The thermochemical reaction between DySZ and CMAS leads to DySZ destabilization, which carried out through in-situ phase transformation and dissolution-recrystallization processes. It is proposed that improving DySZ corrosion resistance can be achieved by introducing pentavalent stabilizers to reduce Dy segregation or promoting the crystallization precipitation kinetics of CMAS. These findings may contribute to laying the foundation for the material design of ceramic surface layers in long-life T/EBCs systems.
期刊介绍:
Materials Characterization features original articles and state-of-the-art reviews on theoretical and practical aspects of the structure and behaviour of materials.
The Journal focuses on all characterization techniques, including all forms of microscopy (light, electron, acoustic, etc.,) and analysis (especially microanalysis and surface analytical techniques). Developments in both this wide range of techniques and their application to the quantification of the microstructure of materials are essential facets of the Journal.
The Journal provides the Materials Scientist/Engineer with up-to-date information on many types of materials with an underlying theme of explaining the behavior of materials using novel approaches. Materials covered by the journal include:
Metals & Alloys
Ceramics
Nanomaterials
Biomedical materials
Optical materials
Composites
Natural Materials.
