Abstract
The present study concerns a detailed investigation of the characteristics and oxidation resistance property of a duplex and compositionally graded thermal barrier coating on Inconel 718 The duplex coating consists of a CoNiCrAlY bond coat layer sprayed on to sandblasted Inconel 718 substrate by high velocity oxyfuel spraying followed by deposition of a yttriastabilized zirconia YSZ top coat by plasma spraying The compositionally graded coating consists of several layers deposited by plasma spraying of premixed CoNiCrAlY and YSZ powders in the weight ratios of 7030 5050 3070 and 0100 varying from the bond coat to the top surface respectively A detailed investigation of the microstructure composition and phases in the coating and its nonisothermal oxidation behavior from room temperature to 1250°C was performed Oxidation proceeds by three stages in the asreceived Inconel 718 and the compositionally graded coating but by two stages in the duplex coating with a maximum activation energy for oxidation in the compositionally graded coating at high temperature stage III The kinetics and mechanism of oxidation were established
