Thirty Years of Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBC), Photothermal and Thermographic Techniques: Best Practices and Lessons Learned

With the adoption of Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBC) to protect the hot parts of gas turbines, it became necessary to characterize their thermophysical properties and assess their state of integrity. This led to the development and/or adoption of photothermal and thermographic techniques to meet these emerging needs.

While not an exhaustive review of all the literature on the subject, this work summarizes the research and development of techniques specifically aimed at measuring thermophysical properties, characterizing microstructure, and identifying adhesion defects in the metallic component of Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBC).

 

The following sections will synthesize best practices, lessons learned, successes, and failures experienced over nearly thirty years of activities on the topic,
