There is an increasing need to extend the operational temperature limits of turbine components. Thermal barrier coatings combined with internal substrate cooling allow for operating temperatures exceeding the melting temperatures of the turbine substrate. The thermal expansion mismatch between the different materials however, result in large residual stresses that are linked to failure. In-situ synchrotron diffraction provides the means to establish the evolution of strain at high resolution.

The X-rays diffract onto a high resolution 2-D detector in the form of distorted rings

The elliptical state of the ring is indicative of strain

Plot of d spacing vs intensity of material peaks scanned with the highlighted section showing the thermal expansion of the bond coat due to the increasing thermal gradient

Loading Conditions

A) At room temperature, YSZ expresses compressive in-plane strain (e22)

B) The bond coat expresses tensile in-plane strain (e22) As the surface temperature is ramped up to high

temperature, both layers then relaxes to zero strain

A)

A) When strain is induced on a lattice structure, the diffraction angle is altered due to Bragg s Law

B) The change in diffraction angle results in an elliptical distortion of the diffraction ring

C) Identifying the zero strain reference angle

D) Bond coat strain results at an individual measurement for the experiment with a 128Mpa load and 40 liters/min flow rate

The thermal barrier coating (TBC) is adhered to the surface of the turbine blade by a nickel based bond coat and the blade is forced cooled with air by an internal coolant channel.

Experiment in progress

Variations in Thermal Gradients

With increasing thermal gradient, the YSZ demonstrates minimal change in strain from the outer surface into the middle of the layer

The inner region of the YSZ displays a significantly increasing compressive strain and thus higher strain gradient

Inner YSZ Radius Outer YSZ Radius

YSZ (111) e22 strain displayed the YSZ thickness at various thermal gradients

Variations in Mechanical Load

Strain relationships of YSZ and bond coat with respect to axial load at various temperatures

The YSZ and NiAl in the bond coat gradually bear less of the applied load as temperature increases

Inelastic behavior is experienced in the bond coat above 800oC, as is displayed by the flat strain response to mechanical load

Loading Conditions

The experiment was conducted at Argonne National Laboratory
