TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the thermal shock behavior of three as-sprayed TBCs at 1000°C and 1200°C with NiCrAlY as the bond coat, and the results indicated that the thermal cycling lifetime of the double-ceramic-layer (DCL) TBC is longer than that of SCL 8YSZ TBC due to the fact that the DCL LZ/8YSZ further enhance the thermal insulation effect, improve the sintering resistance ability and relieve the thermal mismatch between the ceramic layer and the metallic layer at

TL;DR: In this paper, a finite element method was employed to simulate the thermal transfer behavior of TBCs with different spatial and geometrical characteristic of pores, and the simulation results indicated that the thermal insulation effect would be enhanced when the pore size, pore volume fraction and pore layers which are perpendicular to the thickness direction increase and the space between the adjacent pores decreases.

TL;DR: In this paper, the residual stress of double-ceramic-layer (DCL) La2Zr2O7/8YSZ thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) fabricated by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) was calculated by finite element simulation using birth and death element technique.

TL;DR: In this article, the elastic modulus, micro-hardness and Vickers hardness of nanostructured thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) exhibit bimodal distribution while the conventional 8YSZ exhibit mono-modal distribution.

TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal stress of the double-ceramic-layer (DCL) La2Zr2O7/8YSZ thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) fabricated by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) during thermal shock has been calculated.
