The effects of coating thickness on the delamination and fracture behavior of thermal barrier coating (TBC) systems were investigated with cyclic flame thermal fatigue (FTF) and thermal shock (TS) tests. The top and bond coats of the TBCs were prepared by electron beam-physical vapor deposition and low pressure plasma spray methods, respectively, with a thickness ratio of 2:1 in the top and bond coats. The thicknesses of the top coat were 200 and 500 μm, and those of the bond coat were 100 and 250 μm. FTF tests were performed until 1140 cycles at a surface temperature of 1100 oC for a dwell time of 5 min. TS tests were also done until more than 50 % delamination or 1140 cycles with a dwell time of 60 min. After the FTF for 1140 cycles, the interface microstructures of each TBC exhibited a sound condition without cracking or delamination. In the TS, the TBCs of 200 and 500 μm were fully delaminated (> 50 %) within 171 and 440 cycles, respectively. These results enabled us to control the thickness of TBC systems and to propose an efficient coating in protecting the substrate in cyclic thermal exposure environments.

4 mol% Yttria-stabilized zirconia (4YSZ) coatings with 200 μm thick are fabricated by Electron Beam Physical Vapor Deposition (EB-PVD) for thermal barrier coating (TBC). 150 μm of NiCrAlY based bond coat is prepared by conventional APS (Air Plasma Spray) method on the NiCrCoAl alloy substrate before deposition of top coating. 4 mol% YSZ top coating shows typical tetragonal phase and columnar structure due to vapor phase deposition process. The adhesion strength of coating is measured about 40 MPa. There is no delamination or cracking of coatings after thermal cyclic fatigue and shock test at 850oC.

Alumimium Titanate-Mullite 복합체는 Al2O3분말 알콜용액에서 Si(OC2H5)4와 Ti(OC2H5)4 의 단계적인 가수분해로 합성하였다. Sol-Gel 방법으로 합성된 모든 분말은 비정질과 단분산이고 좁은 분말크기의 분포를 보였다. 소결체(1600 ˚C/2h)는 임계분해온도인 1100˚C에서 100시간 동안과 750와 1400˚C 100시간동안 반복적인 열적 내구성 및 열충격 시험을 수행하였다. 가장 좋은 열적 내구성은 aluminium titanate함유량이 70rhk 80vol%일때 얻어졌으며, 이들은 위 실험을 한후 아주 적은 미세구조와 열팽창 곡선의 변화를 나타내었다. 소결체 미세구조의 붕괴는 주사현미경, X-선회절분석과 Dil-atometer로 연구하였다. 위 연구는 이와같은 과정에 의하여 합성된 aluminium titanate-mullite복합체의 서비스 수명을 예상하기 위하여 시도되었다.

The energy consumption by buildings approximately reaches 25% of total korea energy consumption. The greatest part in the buildings of the energy consumption is building facade. but a few research projects on concrete comprising more than 70% of outsider of buildings has been tried. This research structural insulation concrete what improved insulation performance using Micro Form Admixture.
