Transmission Electron Microscopy Investigations of an As-Processed Yttria-Stablilized zirconia on Platinum Aluminide Bond Coat
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 March 2011
Abstract
We examined an as-processed yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) on platinum aluminide bond coat (BC), produced by electron beam physical vapor deposition, with transmission electron microscopy, including energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and hollow-cone diffraction. Columnar α-Al2O3 grains (∼100nm) formed at the interface between the BC and YSZ. A thin intermix (∼50nm) region was observed between the α-Al2O3 and YSZ. Hollow cone diffraction showed that the α-Al2O3 grains and the small-grained (∼10nm) YSZ near the α-Al2O3 are randomly oriented, without preferential texturing. No evidence of spinel formation was noted.
