Abstract
The electron beam-physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD) coatings were selected to analyze the fatigue life. Firstly the failure mechanisms of oxidation and thermal fatigue of TBCs were considered together. The weight of thermally grown oxide (TGO) were measured during oxidation experiments and modeled. Thermal fatigue experiments were induced by thermal mismatched stress and thermal fatigue with holding time. The failure mechanism was obtained by the finite element analyses. The life prediction model was modified by the shear and normal strain range close to the interface of the top coat and TGO. Based on the experiment data, the life prediction model of thermal fatigue of TBCs was set up for EB-PVD coatings. Finally, using the life prediction model, the life of TBCs was predicted under the designed load case. The life prediction model was verified and all experiment data fall into the factor of 3 scatter band.
