Multiple Surface Cracking and Debonding Failure for Thin Thermal Coatings

Microstructure, deformation and cracking characteristics of thermal spray ferrous coatings

The microstructure and local mechanical characteristics of thermal spray ferrous coatings have been determined. The emphasis has been on coatings made by the high velocity oxyfuel (HVOF) process, especially the role of Al alloy additives. The oxide phase present in the material and preferred pathways for local cracking and separation have been determined. Thin intersplat oxide layers emerge as ...

Thermal and Mechanical Cracking in Bis(triisopropylsilylethnyl) Pentacene Thin Films

Bis(triisopropylsilylethnyl) pentacene (TIPS pentacene) was synthesized to increase its solubility in common liquid solvents and, at the same time, enhance the p–p stacking between neighboring acenes in the crystallized state in comparison with unmodified pentacene. Hot-stage microscopy experiments revealed that during heating voids develop along the long axis of the TIPS pentacene films {along...

Failure analysis of suspension plasma sprayed thermal barrier coatings

Free-edge stresses and progressive cracking in surface coatings of circular torsion bars

This paper considers the explicit solutions of free-edge stresses near circumferential cracks in surface coatings of circular torsion bars and their application in determining the progressive cracking density in the coating layers. The problem was formulated within the framework of linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM). The free-edge stresses near crack tip and the shear stresses in the cros...
