Project Procedure :
Introduction :
Thermal barrier coatings consist of four layers: the metal substrate, metallic bond coat, thermally grown oxide, and ceramic topcoat.
The ceramic topcoat is typically composed of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) which is desirable for having very low conductivity while remaining stable at nominal operating temperatures.
The oxide that is commonly used is Zirconia oxide (ZrO2) and Yttrium oxide (Y2O3). The metallic bond coat is an oxidation/hot corrosion resistant layer. The bond coat is empherically represented as MCrAlY alloy where
M - Metals like Ni, Co or Fe. Y - Reactive metals like Yttrium. CrAl - base metal.
This ceramic layer creates the largest thermal gradient of the TBC and keeps the lower layers at a lower temperature than the surface.
Thermal barrier coating consisting of metallic bond coat on the substrate and ceramic top coat on the bond coat.
Project Challenges :
To search a proper bond coatings and top coat materials based on composition of substrates.
Selection of proper coatings techniques.
Preparation of plasma sprayed coated samples for various tests.
To check the microstructure and Topology of coating.
To check the surface texture parameter of coating.
To determine the bond strength of coating.
To determine micro hardness of coating.
To determine abrasive wear of coating .
To determine erosion wear of coating.
To establish the suitability of coatings for its application in internal combustion Engine as a linear.
Literature Survey :
Thermal barrier coatings are highly advanced material systems usually applied to metallic surfaces, operating at elevated temperatures, as a form of Exhaust Heat Management.
These coatings serve to insulate components from large and prolonged heat loads by utilizing thermally insulating materials which can sustain an appreciable temperature difference between the load bearing alloys and the coating surface.
In doing so, these coatings can allow for higher operating temperatures while limiting the thermal exposure of structural components like piston, connecting rods etc in case of diesel engines & also extending part life by reducing oxidation and thermal fatigue.
In conjunction with active film cooling, TBCs permit working fluid temperatures higher than the melting point of the metal.
Exhaust gas temperature changing between 400-600 0C for conventional diesel engines while it is between 700-900 0C for thermal barrier coated engine

STUDY OF TBC IN PROGRESS
Some of the work related to Thermal Barrier Coating undergoing are
i. A study of solid-state reactions between the ceramic layer, the bond coat metal oxides, the bond coat and substrate.
ii. A study to determine the kinetics of phase transformation in the ZrO2-12Y2O3 system and the effect of such transformations on mechanical properties.
Detailed analysis of coating stresses and controlled process, plasma spray technology has significantly improved the reliability of TBC turbines, diesel engines and other heat engines.
Processing improvement in the control and development of TBC are required, further study on, the mechanisms controlling coating adherence and degradation in clean and dirty environments.
The effects of coating composition and structure on coating properties and correlation of models of engine tests are necessary to obtain thermal barrier coating that have even better tolerance to high temperature and thermo mechanical stresses.

DISADVANTAGES OF TBC
The main disadvantage is ceramic bond coat interface region which was determined to be the weakest link in the ZrO2-12Y2O3 /NiCrAlYsystem.
Adhesive plus cohesive failure of the ceramic layer in this region occurred when the coating was subjected to a normal tensile load at room temperature as well as when applied on bars subjected to axial tension or compression at elevated temperature.
