Overlayers on TBC, are desirable in order to add functionalities, not exhibited by the YSZ, such as CMAS tolerance. However, their effect on the thermal cycling performance of the multi-layered system needs to be examined. NiCrAlY bond-coated nimonic substrates were coated with Yttria Stabilized Zirconia Abstract (YSZ) delivered either by Atmospheric Plasma Spraying (APS) or by Suspension Plasma Spraying (SPS). On top of the YSZ layer, a LaAlO3 overlayer was developed directly from solution feedstock, employing Solution Precursor Plasma Spraying (SPPS).

increased thermal stability will facilitate higher combustion temperatures and thus improved engine efficiency, in numerous fields including power generation, aerospace, marine propulsion etc (Padture et al. (2002); Clarke et al. (2012); Xu & Guo (2011)). The pertinent market is growing fast and is expected over the next 10 years reaching nearly 228,000 aviation gas turbine engines valued in $1.232 trillion through 2030 and 5480 power generation engines worthing $105.3 billion (Bakan & Vaßen (2017)). In general, a typical TBC consists of two deposited layers, the bond coat (BC) and the top coat (TC). The state-of-the art BC consists of (Ni, Co) CrAlY or aluminides of Pt and Ni and the TC consists of Yttria-stabilized Zirconia (YSZ). The YSZ better-off performance is leveraged by a combination of convenient properties, i.e., high melting point, 2680 °C, high thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) 11.5 10-6 K-1 at 1273 K, low thermal conductivity (k) 2.12 W/mK at 1273 K and high fracture toughness 1-2 MPa m1/2 (Fu et al. (2011); Subramanian et al. (2002)). However, YSZ exhibits accelerated sintering above 1200 oC while its insufficient phase stability after long-term exposure in these high temperatures reduces the lifetime of the TC (Gadow & Lishka (2002)). Recently lanthanum aluminates have been used due to their refractory properties (high melting point, coefficient of thermal expansion > 8.5x10-6 K-1 and thermal conductivity < 2.2 W/mK), towards increasing the performance of TBC systems. Even though LaAlO3 is claimed as a potential YSZ replacement in various patents, (Fu et al. (2011); Subramanian et al (2002)) the focus is more for the substituted lanthanum aluminates exhibiting the hexaaluminate structure (Gadow & Lishka (2002); Chen et al. (2011); Ovaneysyan et al. (2014); Yeganan et al. (2015)). Even in hexaaluminates, as well as in lanthanum zirconates (Cao et al. (2001); Wang & Xiao (2014) etc), LaAlO3 gradually evolves with thermal aging (Chen et al. (2011)), due to the reaction of La with the Al from the evolved TGO. More interestingly La oxide seems to stabilize the sintering and hence the creep resistance of Al oxide (Schaper et al. (1983)). Its evaluation as material in multi-layered TC structures in conventional TBC systems as well as in nanocomposites has been reported recently, (Stathopoulos et al. (2016); Georgiopoulos et al. (2014); Vourdas et al. (2018)). Moreover, use of the Suspension or Solution Precursor Plasma Spray techniques (SPS & SPPS, respectively) provides the advantage of finer sized droplets deposition resulting in different microstructures, compared to conventional Atmospheric Plasma Spraying (APS), exhibiting a high cumulative porosity mainly consisting of submicrometer range pores and/or high segmentation crack density with excellent thermal cycling performance. TBC’s performance (lifetime and failure) depends on several parameters. During service, they undergo thermal cycling loading due to the cycling variation of the environmental temperature and the different thermal expansion coefficients of the different TBC layers. Stress variations induced by thermal shock loading generated during start up and shut down of the turbine engine result in coating system failure with the highest stresses and consequent failure occurring at the TC-BC interface. This work aims to develop, optimize and study the properties and the performance of innovative TBC systems involving LaAlO3 (LA) as an overlayer. More specifically, experimental results for the evaluation of LA as overlayer in double-layered TC structures of YSZ-based TBCs using different thermal spraying techniques (SPS, SPPS and APS) for the deposition of the different layers are presented. Consequently, different multi-layered structures in terms of materials and deposition techniques have been developed, evaluated and compared. LA overlayer is expected to provide high strain tolerance and low thermal conductivity in the TBC systems. Macroscopic together with microstructural analysis of thermal cycling and thermal shock experiments in temperatures up to 1200 oC reveal interesting results for the perovskite overlayer. 2. Experimental protocol 2.1. Materials synthesis and suspension optimization The multi-layered TBC structures investigated in this study consisted of different materials. Commercial NiCrAlY (H. C. Starck Amperit 413) was used as BC deposited using APS, commercial YSZ (H. C. Starck Amperit 827) as TC deposited with APS technique, commercial YSZ by Unitec Materials (after water based suspension optimization) as TC deposited using the SPS technique and nitrate precursor LaAlO 3 solution as overlayer deposited using the SPPS technique. Particle size distribution of raw powders and suspensions were measured using a Malvern 2000 laser particle sizer. LaAlO3 (perovskite) powder was synthesized based on a citrate-precursor technique described in detail elsewhere (Vourdas et al. (2018)). La(NO3)3.6H2O and Al(NO3)3.9H2O (Sigma Aldrich) were used as La and Al sources. An

aqueous solution of 0.407 M in La(NO3)3.6H2O and 0.407 M in Al(NO3)3.6H2O was formed (Solution A). In solution A citric acid was added to a molar ratio of La:Al:Citric acid = 1:1:4.5 (Solution B). Solution B was used as a feedstock material in Solution Precursor Plasma Spraying. Also development and characterization of stable YSZ water-based suspension inks suitable to be used in SPS using 7 wt% yttria stabilized zirconia fine powder (7YSZ) has been performed. The 7YSZ particles were dispersed in the water using 1.5 %wt dispersant. Suspension with 15%wt solids after several hours ball milling and pH adjustment was produced fulfilling necessary requirements such as long-term stability, re-dispersability, low viscosity (6-14 cP) and small particle size (D50 = 0.31 μm) as shown in Fig. 1.

2.2. TBC systems development A Praxair SG-100 atmospheric plasma spraying gun was used for the different layers deposition. Coatings were deposited on rectangular sand blasted nimonic 901 substrates (20x25x2 mm3, 20x38x2 mm3). During spraying, the substrates were adequately cooled. If no cooling is used the substrate temperature will increase and subsequent thermal stresses will be introduced. The substrate temperature, measured using infrared pyrometers, was kept lower than 100°C. The solutions/suspensions were fed to the plasma gun through an atomizer. 7YSZ coatings using SPS were developed using plasma power in the range of 27-33 kW while the atomization gas flow rate ranged from 15 to 20 slpm. A spraying distance of 7.5 cm was used during deposition. Deposition of LaAlO3 perovskite-type oxide has been performed using the SPPS technique. Ar/He mixtures as plasma gases with plasma power ranging from 50 kW to 57 kW, solution feed rates of 4.50-21.8 ml/min and atomization gas flow rates 12-19 slpm were tested. In Table 1 the different TBC systems compared in this study are shown. Table 1. Overview of the TBC systems prepared and compared. TBC System

Microscope. Coatings porosity was estimated using a Leica microscope and Image Analysis software. Vickers microhardness measurements on coatings was performed using a Shimadzu micro hardness tester. Thermal cyclic testing (Fig. 2) has been performed on rectangular, one-side coated samples under the following conditions:  Short Cycle: Heat up to 1100 oC or 1200 °C in 16 min; hold at temperature for 1 hour; cool down to room temperature (18 °C) in approximately 50 min.  Long Cycle: Heat up to 1100 oC or 1200 °C in 16 min; hold temperature for 25 hours; cool down to room temperature (18 °C) in approximately 50 min. In both cases tests were continued until 10-20% spallation of the TBC area was observed. Total duration (number of cycles) under thermal cycling at 1100 oC and 1200 oC were studied.

3. Results and discussion 3.1. Top coat layers deposition parameters optimization 7YSZ layer using SPS: The obtained coating thickness was in the range of 25-50 μm. Its porosity ranged from 9 to 18% while its microhardness HV100 from 300 to 772. In Fig. 3a &b the microstructure of the optimum coating is shown. Its thickness is 38 μm and from the polished cross section (Fig. 3b) a continuous, homogeneous, microcrack free, without any evidence of delamination coating is revealed. Its microhardness HV100 is 633 and has a porosity of 9% (Fig. 3c).

LaAlO3 layer using SPPS: The effect of critical plasma spray parameters on the quality of the developed coatings has been investigated. In detail, the effect of the solution feed rate on the coating microstructure (Fig. 4a, b) showed that decrease of the feed rate results in higher deposition rate from 7 to 20 μm/pass and increase of the process yield.

Furthermore the applied plasma power effect showed that power increase results in higher quality microstructure (Fig. 3b, c) as well as deposition rate from 5 to 20 μm/pass and process yield from 35 to 45%. Investigation of the effect of the atomization gas flow rate on the deposited LaAlO3 coatings revealed that increase of the flow rate results in a maximum deposition rate of 7 μm/pass and maximum process yield 60% at the flow rate value of 15 slpm. By the X ray diffraction results the phase composition of the deposited coatings under the selected sets of plasma spraying parameters investigated, revealed the formation of LaAlO3 phase as the predominant crystal phase (Stathopoulos et al. (2018)). The coating shows only traces of La as a secondary phase (Fig. 5). This is a very important result since it confirms the advantage of the SPPS coating deposition as a single step technique towards the formation of LaAlO3 oxide without the need of post annealing. In the minimum time of the liquid feedstock precursor material flight within the high temperature plasma flame all required chemical synthesis steps occurs. Thus the citrate-precursor La – Al compounds form a high purity LaAlO3 oxide as a deposited coating.

3.2. Multi-layered TBC development and characterization Thermal spray deposition parameters optimization of the above mentioned investigated materials as two-layered (top coat-bond coat) systems, was followed by the deposition and characterization of three layered systems (overcoat- top coat-bond coat) as shown in Table 1 and Fig. 6.

4. Conclusions LaAlO3 was used as over layer in multi-layered TBC systems. The additional thermal sealing provided by LaAlO3 along with its lower fracture toughness improved the TBC performance during thermal cycling. SPS and SPPS thermal spray techniques proved effective for the deposition of high quality LaAlO3 perovskite oxide coatings using liquid feedstocks. Use of precursor solutions and suspension materials provide the advantage of using nano-sized materials to develop coatings with unique microstructure, low porosity levels and microcrack free coatings. Furthermore, LaAlO3 perovskite synthesis by a chemical reaction occurring during the liquid precursor materials flight within the plasma flame and subsequent coating deposition in a single step procedure is verified by using the SPPS technique. The effect of the deposition of LaAlO3 over the YSZ was assessed, on the thermal cycling performance at both 1100 oC and 1200 oC. At 1100 oC the LaAlO3 over layer does not affect the thermal cycling performance up to 14 long (ca. 350 h at 1100 oC) as well as after 57 short (ca. 57 h at 1100 oC) cycles. At 1200 °C the LaAlO3 over-layered TBC performed slightly better compared to the not over-layered samples, indicating a satisfactory potential of LaAlO3 perovskite over layers, worthing further investigation in the near future.
