International Journal of Thermophysics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Thermal barrier coatings are applied to the protection of metal components in aircraft thrusters, power generation and ship gas turbine engines, which can make the gas turbine run for a long time in a high-temperature environment. The fracture toughness of the coating characterizes the ability of the material to prevent crack propagation and is one of the most important factors to be taken into consideration to prolong the life of the thermal barrier coating. The current research is mainly through dispersion toughening, the phase transformation toughening, whisker toughening, ferroelastic toughening, and other methods to improve the fracture toughness of ceramic coatings. In this paper, the use of different toughening mechanisms and the addition of unique materials to improve the fracture toughness of thermal barrier coatings are introduced, and the future research direction is put forward.
