- The complex-shaped hot-section parts of new-generation turbine engines demand unique design solutions. Additive Manufacturing (AM) is an emergent production method that can produce metallic parts with complex geometries and minimal material wastage. In this work, the characteristics and performance behavior of Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBCs) deposited on forged and AM-built HAYNES®282® superalloy substrates were studied and compared. The bond coats were produced by High-Velocity Air-Fuel (HVAF) spraying using NiCoCrAlY powder feedstock and TBC top-coats by Suspension Plasma Spraying (SPS) using water- and ethanol-based suspensions of Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ). The microstructural features, adhesion, Thermal Cycling Fatigue (TCF) lifetime, and thermal shock lifetimes of the TBCs were comprehensively investigated. The results showed that the deposition of bond coats reduced the roughness and asperities of the AM-built substrates. Depending on the type of suspension used and the spray parameters employed, the TBCs exhibited vertically cracked and columnar microstructures. However, no significant differences in TCF and thermal shock lifetimes of TBCs on AM and forged substrates were observed. It is demonstrated that TBC systems can be produced on AM-built metallic substrates, and the resulting TBCs can have similar microstructures and properties as TBCs deposited on conventional substrates.

- This work represents a preliminary study of atmospheric plasma-sprayed (APS) YttriaStabilized Zirconia (YSZ)-based thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) deposited on forged and additivemanufactured (AM) HAYNES®282® (H282) superalloy substrates. The effect of different feedstockmorphologies and spray gun designs with radial and axial injection on APS-deposited YSZ layercharacteristics such as microstructure, porosity content, roughness, etc., has been investigated. Theperformance of TBCs in terms of thermal cycling fatigue (TCF) lifetime and erosion behaviour werealso comprehensively investigated. In view of the high surface roughness of as-built AM surfacescompared to forged substrates, two different types of NiCoCrAlY bond coats were examined: oneinvolved high-velocity air fuel (HVAF) spraying of a finer powder, and the other involved APSdeposition of a coarser feedstock. Despite the process and feedstock differences, the above two routesyielded comparable bond coat surface roughness on both types of substrates. Variation in porositylevel in the APS topcoat was observed when deposited using different YSZ feedstock powdersemploying axial or radial injection. However, the resultant TBCs on AM-derived substrates wereobserved to possess similar microstructures and functional properties as TBCs deposited on reference(forged) substrates for any given YSZ deposition process and feedstock.

- In future generation aviation, light weight, and thermally stable SiC/SiC ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are considered the most promising structural materials to replace traditionally used Ni-based superalloys. However, in the presence of steam (a common combustion reaction product) and corrosive species (from ingestion of debris along with the intake air during take-off and landing), accelerated degradation of CMCs compromising its structural integrity is inevitable. Environmental Barrier Coatings (EBCs) are protective ceramic coatings consisting of rare earth (RE) silicates as a topcoat with silicon as a bond coat, and are widely used on CMCs, to impede their surface recession.Thermal spray techniques are commonly employed to deposit EBCs, with highly crystalline, dense, and crack free coatings being desired for robust performance. In general, the high particle velocity and efficient energy transfer in axial feeding systems can result in coatings with higher density, reduced oxide content, and improved mechanical properties. In the present study, axial plasma sprayed ytterbium disilicate (YbDS) coatings deposited on silicon carbide (SiC) substrates using varying plasma spray parameters have been comprehensively characterized. Microstructure, porosity, and hardness have been studied for YbDS coatings deposited by varying nozzle diameter, carrier gas flow rate and stand of distance (SOD) during plasma spraying. Erosion and thermal cyclic fatigue performance of these coatings has also been investigated.
