摘要

In order to obtain highly reliable thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) with extended thermal service lifetime, different fractions of Ti3AlC2 self-healing agent and Ceria and Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia (CYSZ) were melted into the plasma-sprayed 8YSZ TBCs by a fiber-coupled semiconductor laser. The effect of Ti3AlC2 content on the microstructure, phase composition, and thermal shock behaviors of the self-healing TBCs was investigated. Results indicated that the self-healing TBCs exhibited superior thermal shock resistance in comparison to the untreated TBCs. The thermal shock resistance of the self-healing TBCs with 15% Ti3AlC2 was increased by 110% compared with that of the untreated TBCs. The columnar grains and vertical cracks presented in the self-healing TBCs could enhance strain compatibility during the thermal shock process. In addition, the Ti3AlC2 as a self-healing agent reacted with oxygen in air at elevated temperatures to seal the microcracks effectively, thereby delaying the crack connection.
