Abstract

The dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA) was utilized systematically to investigate the temperature dependence of the dynamic mechanical properties of as-sprayed ZrO2/NiCoCrAlY composite coatings. The dynamic storage modulus of graded coatings varied in a graded and linear manner from 30-400 °C. An increase of modulus was observed for the 100 wt.% NiCoCrAlY and graded coatings at 400-650 °C, while 100 wt.% ZrO2 coating exhibited linear behavior from 30-900 °C. This stress-induced and thermally activated structural relaxation of the coatings at 400-650 °C was attributed to the amorphous-to-crystalline transition of NiCoCrAlY phase. The relaxation effect responsible for the modulus increase is the diffusion of nickel atoms with activation energy of 248.3 kJ/mol and a frequency factor of 5.9×1016s-1.
