- Suspension plasma spray (SPS) thermal barrier coatings are currently at an early stage of industrial adoption. There remain questions about the performance of SPS columnar coatings under different engine environmental conditions as it may influence which established engine coatings can be replaced by SPS coatings. One particular area of concern has been the erosion resistance of SPS coatings.In this study a columnar SPS coating has been evaluated against three types of state of art air plasma spray coatings: conventional porous coating, high porosity coating and dense vertically cracked coating. Air-jet erosion testing was performed on coatings at a glancing angle of 30 degrees and with direct impact at 90 degrees. Coatings have been ranked according to their mass loss per unit erodent mass. Coatings were also evaluated for their microstructure, porosity content, hardness, and fracture toughness. The erosion damage created during testing has also been investigated using electron microscopy to observe the damage mechanism. The results of this study demonstrate that SPS coatings can outperform porous APS coatings in erosion resistance and could be considered a match for dense vertically cracked coatings. The SPS columnar coatings have shown a decreasing erosion rate with exposure time that suggest the influence of surface roughness on initial erosion behaviour.

- Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) prolong the durability of gas turbine engine componentsand enable them to operate at high temperature. Several degradation mechanisms limit the durability of TBCs during their service. Since the atmospheric plasma spray (APS) processed 7–8 wt.% yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) TBCs widely utilized for gas turbine applications are susceptible to erosion damage, this work aims to evaluate the influence of their porosity levels on erosion behavior. Eight different APS TBCs were produced from 3 different spray powders with porosity ranging from 14% to 24%. The as-deposited TBCs were examined by SEM analysis. A licensed software was used to quantify the different microstructural features. Mechanical properties of the as-deposited TBCs were evaluated using micro-indentation technique. The as-deposited TBCs were subjected to erosion tests at different angles of erodent impact and their erosion performance was evaluated. Based on the results, microstructure-mechanical property-erosion performance was correlated. Findings from this work provide new insights into the microstructural features desired for improved erosion performance of APS deposited YSZ TBCs.
