Beschreibung:
The 3–4 mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) is widely used as a material for thermal barrier coating; however, the corrosive constituents present in fuel typically result in mechanical disintegration of YSZ coatings. The 3–4 mol% YSZ coatings with respective porosity of ~3% and ~22% have been undertaken with the objective to compare the hot corrosion behavior in air and sulfur-rich atmospheres. The coatings are kept in contact with V 2 O 5 + MgO powder mixture at 750°C for different dwell times of 24 and 76 h. The samples kept in air have shown intact YSZ layer for both the coatings, whereas a delamination of YSZ layer is observed for high porosity sample kept in sulfur-rich atmosphere. XRD patterns of all the samples treated in sulfur-rich atmosphere have indicated a phase transformation in YSZ from tetragonal to monoclinic. However, no such phase transformation has been found for samples treated in air. The V 2 O 5 -induced hot corrosion attack on YSZ coating in air has been successfully inhibited by MgO, which forms a thermally stable Mg 3 V 2 O 8 compound. However, in sulfur-rich atmosphere, MgO is partially consumed to form sulfates, which allows certain fraction of V 2 O 5 to react with Y 2 O 3 causing the degradation of top coat.
