The microstructure of coatings was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometer, and isothermal adsorption/desorption tests.

A penetration model, that includes the ambient pressures, pore diameters, and physical properties of the sealant, was proposed and validated. The sealing treatment nearly doubled the breakdown strengths of coatings under DC, 50 Hz, and 500 Hz voltages and increased resistivity by nearly 100 times in environments with varying relative humidity (RH) levels.

The deposited coating was characterized by SEM, EDS, EBSD, Raman, nanoindentation, and microhardness. The integrity and adhesion of the coating were assessed using scratch tests aided by acoustic emission spectroscopy. The tribological evaluation was performed using a dry sliding wear test with a ball-on-coated disc configuration using alumina as the counterface. The coating microstructure comprises mostly unmelted particles with a small fraction of melted, with a porosity level < 1.5% and about 8.4% oxidation. Both the microhardness and nanoindentation show the anisotropy in the coating. The elastic modulus is at the same level as bulk IN718 when measured perpendicularly to the thickness direction, but it is lower when measured along the thickness. The average compressive stress of 608 MPa and the Bauschinger effect influence the anisotropy observed in the coatings. ISO 27307 scratch tests reveal that coatings have good cohesion and adhesion strength. Wear tests were performed at room temperature, 400 °C and 600 °C. The room temperature wear is high and abrasive, while the high-temperature wear was lower and determined to be oxidative. Porosity is detrimental to the abrasive wear at room temperatures, which leads to localized chipping.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":679,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Thermal Spray Technology","volume":"34 4","pages":"1065 - 1081"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143919240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous studies have shown that composite materials of this type are characterized by an increased tolerance to deformation and a significantly lower thermal conductivity coefficient value than single-phase coatings. Therefore, two-phase composite coatings are expected to demonstrate the ability to operate for a more extended time without compromising their integrity and without ceramic layer spallation. The scope of the presented analysis included assessing the phase constituent stability under oxidation conditions at 1100 °C for 2000 hours and hot corrosion in Na<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> at 950 °C for 300 hours. The XRD analyses showed that in the 8YSZ + La<sub>2</sub>Zr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>7</sub> system, there is no significant interaction between components of the TBC under analyzed conditions. In the case of the system containing Gd<sub>2</sub>Zr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>7</sub>, an intensive tendency to mutual interactions was demonstrated, expressed by the formation of non-stoichiometric Gd<sub>x</sub>Zr<sub>1−x</sub>O<sub>2−x/2</sub> with a fluorite-type lattice. The intensity of this process was much higher with the assistance of Na<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub>. The XRD test results were confirmed by SEM/EDS analyses, which showed the presence of areas significantly different in chemical composition and morphology in the case of the 8YSZ + Gd<sub>2</sub>Zr<sub>2</sub>O7 coatings and relatively small morphological changes in the case of the 8YSZ + La<sub>2</sub>Zr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>7</sub> system. These analyses were verified during tests on model powder mixtures. The model tests covered the temperature range from 800 to 1400 °C (24 h at each temperature). The research conducted confirmed the previously obtained results. The research suggests that two-phase coatings 8YSZ + Ln<sub>2</sub>Zr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>7</sub> may be a very effective solution for applications in gas turbines. Despite intense phase changes, they showed high durability (at least 2000 hours), practically without the effects of the ceramic layer’s disintegration.

In the study, it was found that the shape and positional characteristics of the air-film cooling holes, such as the position of the cooling hole, radius, ratio between upper and lower radii of a cooling hole, and space angle, have certain effect on the residual stress. When the air-film cooling holes are located at the lowest part of the TBC interface, there is minimal residual stress, while at the junction of the bond coat and the thermally grown oxide, there is a more severe stress concentration, which should be paid special attention to. The radius of air-film cooling holes not only affects the value of the residual stress but also affects the range of its extreme value, and the small radius of cooling hole can reduce the residual stress to a large extent.

With rapid deposition, minimal thermal degradation and distortion, and unique flexibility in material selection and part size, it is an attractive option for additive manufacturing. Despite the latest steep technological advancements, a significant hindrance to the wide application of CS in this field is shape accuracy. The Gaussian-like deposit profiles characteristic of CS limit its resolution, causing waviness along the deposit, tapering, and edge losses, making shape control a difficult task. Deposit shape modeling can play a major role in addressing this challenge and counterbalancing the restrictive resolution issues by predicting the deposit shape, as a function of kinetic process parameters. Macroscale deposition modeling can furthermore boost automated process planning for high geometrical control. This paper depicts the current scenario and ongoing attempts to characterize and predict CS deposit shape. It categorizes CS shape prediction models into Gaussian-fit, physics-based, and data-driven. Through the critical evaluation of such models, research gaps and potential areas of improvement are identified, particularly in simultaneously achieving high prediction accuracy and computational efficiency, rather than framing them as competing objectives. Alternative recently developed strategies for geometrical control are furthermore explored, including advanced trajectory planning techniques, tailored to CS.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":679,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Thermal Spray Technology","volume":"34 4","pages":"1023 - 1041"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11666-025-01970-0.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143919191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
