Thus, microcracks around the pores of the TC in experimental results deflected towards the location of pores, which stopped rapid propagation of cracks. Besides, the introduction of pore prevented the formation of large radial tensile stress concentration regions at the TC, while reducing penetrating cracks and contributing to enhanced thermal shock resistance. However, higher porosity gradually increased the stress fluctuations at the interface between the TC and the Si bond-coat layer (BC).
