The effects of thermal annealing at 1000 degrees C in air on the microstructure and the mechanical properties (Young's modulus and hardness) of thermal barrier coatings consisting of a 4 mol% Y2O3 partially stabilized ZrO2 top coat and a NiCoCrAlY bond coat, deposited by electron beam physical vapour deposition on nickel-based superalloy IN 625, have been investigated using X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), image analysis and nanoindentation. During annealing, the ceramic top coat undergoes sintering and recrystallization. These processes lead to stress relaxation, an increase of the intra-columnar porosity and the number of large pores as measured by Image analysis of SEM micrographs. An increase of the grain size of the gamma-phase in the bond coat, accompanied by changes in the morphology of gamma-grains with annealing time, is also observed Correlations between these microstructural changes in the top coat and the bond coat and their mechanical properties are established and discussed.
