Extended Lifetime of Dual-Layer Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia APS/Gadolinium Zirconate SPS Thermal Barrier Coatings in Furnace Cycle Tests
1. Introduction Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are a key part of protecting structural components in aircraft and stationary gas turbines for power generation for decades. Their importance results from maximizing the efficiency of gas turbines and minimizing emissions [1,2]. This optimization is realized by increasing combustion temperatures, which today exceed the melting point of the nickel-based superalloys from which the structural turbine components are made [3].

Systematic Approach to Optimize Technological and Economical Aspects of Atmospheric Plasma Sprayed Thermal Barrier Coatings
Abstract Plasma-sprayed Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) coatings have been used in gas turbines for decades. They are applied for thermal insulation to increase operating temperature and hence efficiency and component’s lifetime. To keep manufacturing costs low, especially deposition efficiency is important. However, increasing it is also related to a reduction in porosity, affecting the insulating properties of the layer.
