title = "Characterization of the Benefit of APS Flash Coatings in Improving TBC Lifetime",
abstract = "The addition of an air plasma sprayed (APS) “flash” layer on top of a high velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) bond coating has been shown to extend the lifetime of thermal barrier coatings. A series of furnace cycle tests (FCTs) has been conducted at 1100 °C in air + 10% H2O to study the benefit of flash coatings on rod and disk alloy 247 specimens and provide a better mechanistic understanding of their benefit. Flash coatings of NiCoCrAlY and NiCoCrAlYHfSi both improved the FCT lifetime of rod specimens tested in 100-h cycles and disk specimens tested in 1-h cycles. In 1-h cycles, the NiCoCrAlY flash coating significantly outperformed an HVOF-only NiCoCrAlYHfSi bond coating and a NiCoCrAlYHfSi flash coating. Both flash coatings increased the bond coating roughness compared to HVOF. During exposure, the flash layer formed an intermixed alumina-metal layer that appeared to inhibit crack formation. Using a time series of observations, the lower Y + Hf content in the Y-only flash coating appeared to reduce Al consumption. The HVOF layer acted as a source of Al for the adjacent mixed zone. A second series of specimens included a fully APS bond coating where oxide had penetrated through the entire coating to the substrate after only 100, 1-h cycles and lifetime was similar to an HVOF-only bond coating. The inner HVOF layer with the outer APS flash coating prevented this complete penetration from occurring.",
