Title: Mechanical behavior of segmented oxide protected coatings

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5682085

Mechanically and thermally induced fractures were examined in sputtered coatings consisting of a NiCrAlY underlayer, either a thin or a thick transition layer graded from NiCrAlY to ZrO/sub 2/, and an outer ZrO/sub 2/ layer. A pronounced columnar (fibrous) microstructure was obtained, although the columnar boundaries in the ZrO/sub 2/ layers and in the thick transition layers were much more open than in the NiCrAlY, effectively producing a more segmented structure. Fractures in the coatings with thick transition layers always followed the columnar boundaries and did not affect coating adherence. Fractures in the coatings with thin transition layers were similar except that fractures in the transition layer and parallel to the layer plane were observed in addition to the columnar fractures and would be expected to result in loss of coating adherence.
