Abstract
We report the first observation of stress induced birefringence in air plasma sprayed (APS) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) using a reflection based polariscope and GHz illumination. Strain optic coefficients of (−0.0133 ± 0.0102) × 10−9 and (−0.0190 ± 0.0043) × 10−9 were measured for yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) APS coatings of the same thickness deposited on substrates of 3 mm and 1 mm mild steel. The reflection measurement approach was validated by additional measurements of the stress optic coefficient of bulk yttria-partially stabilized zirconia (YTZP) ceramic that were in agreement with previously reported transmission measurements. The ultimate application of this technique is the prediction of remaining life in TBCs.
