Evolution of microstructure and mechanical properties of EB-PVD GZO/GYbZ/8YSZ multilayer thermal barrier coatings during thermal cycling
This study investigates the microstructural evolution and mechanical property changes of novel EB-PVD GZO/GYbZ/8YSZ multilayer thermal barrier coatings during thermal cycling, revealing that while the coating maintains integrity up to 100 cycles with sintering-induced property improvements, it suffers from severe delamination and reduced fracture toughness after 200 cycles due to surface cracking and interfacial oxidation.
