Interface fracture toughness and fracture mechanisms of thermal barrier coatings investigated by indentation test and acoustic emission technique

Interface fracture toughness and fracture mechanisms of plasma-/sprayed thermal barrier coatings （TBCs） were investigated by interfacial indentation test （ HT） in combination with acoustic emission （ AE ） measurement. Critical load and AE energy were employed to calculate interface fracture toughness. The critical point at which crack appears at the interface was determined by the HT. AE signals produced during total indentation test not only are used to investigate the interface cracking behavior by Fast Fourier Transform （FFT） and wavelet transforms but also supply the mechanical information. The result shows that the AE signals associated with coating plastic deformation during indentation are of a more continuous type with a lower characteristic frequency content （30 -60 kHz） , whereas the instantaneous relaxation associated with interface crack initiation produces burst type AE signals with a characteristic frequency in the range 70 - 200 kHz. The AE signals energy is concentrated on different scales for the coating plastic deformation, interface crack initiation and interface crack propagation. Interface fracture toughness calculated by AE energy was 1. 19 MPam1/2 close to 1.58 MPam1/2 calculated by critical load. It indicates that the acoustic emission energy is suitable to reflect the interface fracture toughness.

跨声速叶栅通道中叶片压力面簸箕孔型气膜冷却特性

在跨声速叶栅通道内,试验研究了叶片压力面气膜冷却特性,详细地对比分析了在不同主流进口雷诺数(Re=1.7×10^5,3.7×10^5,5.7×10^5)、出口马赫数(Ma=0.81,0.91,1.01)及多个气膜吹风比(M=0.5~3.0)条件下的压力面簸箕孔型气膜冷却效率。试验结果表明:主流出口马赫数变化对气膜孔下游冷却效率的分布与具体数值均无影响;而主流进口雷诺数的影响较大。增大主流进口雷诺数使得气膜分离再贴附对应的吹风比相应增大,Re=1.7×10^5时在吹风比M=1.0时出现气膜分离与再贴附现象,而Re=3.7×10^5和Re=5.7×10^5对应的临界吹风比则分别为2.0和2.5;主流进口雷诺数越大,小吹风比下近孔区域的冷却效率越高,而在孔下游区域则相反;大吹风比下,则主流进口雷诺数越大冷却效率越小。
