Thermal Barrier Coatings for High-Temperature Performance of Nickel-Based Superalloys: A Synthetic Review

With the rising demands of industry to increase working temperature gas turbine blades and internal combustion engines, thermal barrier coatings (TBC) were found be an effective way further enhance lifetime aero components through improvement mechanical properties oxidation-resistance. Thus, this paper aims review coating technologies with special emphasis on plasma-sprayed (PS), those produced by physical vapor deposition (PVD) chemical (CVD) methods. Each technology was assessed in terms its effectiveness response oxidation resistance nickel-based parts at high temperature. The effect strength, hardness, fatigue creep nickel alloys discussed reveal potential candidates for future applications aggressive environments.
