TLDR
The initiation of surface cracks in zirconia based multilayer thermal barrier coatings is related to stress relaxation which occurs at the top surface of the coating at high temperatures as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract
The initiation of surface cracks in zirconia based multilayer thermal barrier coatings is related to stress relaxation which occurs at the top surface of the coating at high temperatures. An analytical model is used to show that the compressive stresses decrease over time and become tensile upon cooling of the coating, thus resulting in cracks. Mullite, which exhibits significantly reduced stress relaxation behavior, is shown to remain in compression, thus preventing the initiation of surface cracks. This behavior is compared for the cases of equal heat flux and equal surface temperature conditions.

Thermal barrier coating development for diesel engine aluminum pistons

TL;DR: In this paper, a finite element model is used to analyze thermal barrier coating systems, including the impact of material properties, coating thickness, residual stress and boundary conditions, and the primary cause of coating failure is low cycle fatigue resulting from localized yielding when the coating is hot and in compression.
