Abstract

The characteristics of TBCs are very different from that of the bulk material. Apart from the presence of several defects present in plasma-sprayed coatings, the splat interfaces present in coatings are rough, resulting in multiple contact points ranging from micrometre to nanometre scale. These contact points can have very different bonding characteristics. These features have a significant implication on the macroscale properties of TBCs.
