TL;DR: In this article, a study of the exposure of SiC at 1200°C and high water-vapor pressures (1.5 atm) has shown SiC recession rates that exceed what was predicted based on parabolic oxidation at water vapor pressures of less than or equal to ∼1 atm.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of bond coat composition on the spallation resistance of plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) on single-crystal Rene N5 substrates was assessed by furnace thermal cycle testing of TBCs with various vacuum plasma spray (VPS) or air plasma spraying (APS) MCrAlX (M=Ni and/or Co; and X=Y, Hf, and or Si) bond coats.

TL;DR: In this paper, the strength and fatigue of a commericially available hot isostatically pressed silicon nitride was measured as a function of temperature and the fatigue characteristics were evaluated by allowing individual creep tests to continue until specimen failure.

TL;DR: In this paper, the isothermal oxidation behavior of thermal barrier coating (TBC) specimens consisting of single-crystal superalloy substrates, vacuum plasma-sprayed Ni-22Cr-10Al-1Y bond coatings and air plasma-Sprayed 7.5 wt.% yttria stabilized zirconia top coatings was evaluated by thermogravimetric analysis at 1150{degrees}C for up to 200 hours.

TL;DR: In this paper, both an actual microstructure and model microstructures of a plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coating system were numerically simulated to analyze the full-field residual stresses of this coating system.
