Abstract

Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) are good choices to provide a more efficient thermal barrier coating (TBC), to be utilized in engineering areas such as power generation sector (electricity) as well as in aerospace engines. Energy scarcity and ever-increasing demands for higher electricity generation in gas turbines, result in advances in TBC structure and fabrication methods to improve mechanical and thermomechanical properties of the coating in harsh working condition. This will result in diminishing detrimental effects of elevated temperature and also enhance power efficiency. Using metal-ceramic materials of Nano dimension particles in coating materials and structures, besides electron beams and thermal plasmas as primitive and most reliable sources of energy, in electron beam physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD) and atmospheric plasma spray (APS) respectively, which are two contemporary fabrication processes, lead to a more productive coating structure in TBCs. The new gas turbine generation, benefits from TBC coatings with both improved thermal conduction and radiation resistance, so the candidate material is selected as a finishing layer to multilayer systems of FG-TBC, that tends to be transparent to the radiation in the turbine working condition. While there are many possible variations for material combination in FGM production, industrial issues must be concerned in this regard. This paper presents a review of the existing literature for Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBCs) made of Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) which are called FG-TBCs, and then focuses on EB-PVD and APS as the most commonly used fabrication techniques for thin FGM coating.

Using metal-ceramic materials of Nano dimension particles in coating materials and structures, besides electron beams and thermal plasmas as primitive and most reliable sources of energy, in electron beam physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD) and atmospheric plasma spray (APS) respectively, which are two contemporary fabrication processes, lead to a more productive coating structure in TBCs. The new gas turbine generation, benefits from TBC coatings with both improved thermal conduction and radiation resistance, so the candidate material is selected as a finishing layer to multilayer systems of FG-TBC, that tends to be transparent to the radiation in the turbine working condition. While there are many possible variations for material combination in FGM production, industrial issues must be concerned in this regard. This paper presents a review of the existing literature for Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBCs) made of Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) which are called FG-TBCs, and then focuses on EB-PVD and APS as the most commonly used fabrication techniques for thin FGM coating.
