Modeling the Evolution of Residual Stresses in Thermally Sprayed YSZ Coating on Stainless Steel Substrate

This study is based on Eulerian method to model residual stresses for yttrium-stabilized zirconia coating applied to stainless steel substrate. A commercially available finite element software ABAQUS/Explicit is used to conduct this study. Single and multiple-particle impact analyses were carried out, and the residual stress data have been reported. The analysis is performed for two different values of thermal contact resistance and the through-thickness residual stress profiles obtained within the coating for single particle are tensile, while the substrate has a mixture of tensile and compressive residual stresses. For multiple impact model, the residual stress data have been presented for substrate with and without cooling. The residual stresses within the coating without substrate cooling are mostly tensile while the substrate is compressive. The residual stresses within the coating with substrate cooling are mostly tensile with compressive stresses on the top of the coating, while the substrate consists of compressive stresses. The obtained residual stresses are compared with experimental and analytical data.
