The main goal of the current study is evaluation and comparison of thermal shock behavior of plasma-sprayed nanostructured and conventional yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs). To this end, the nanostructured and conventional YSZ coatings were deposited by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) on NiCoCrAlY-coated Inconel 738LC substrates. The thermal shock test was administered by quenching the samples in cold water of temperature 20-25 degrees C from 950 degrees C. In order to characterize elastic modulus of plasma-sprayed coatings, the Knoop indentation method was employed. Microstructural evaluation, elemental analysis, and phase analysis were performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray diffractometry (XRD) respectively. The results revealed that failures of both nanostructured and conventional TBCs were due to the spallation of ceramic top coat. Thermal stresses caused by mismatch of thermal expansion coefficients between the ceramic top coat and the underlying metallic components were recognized as the major factor of TBC failure. However, the nanostructured TBC, due to bimodal unique microstructure, presented an average thermal cycling lifetime that was approximately 1.5 times higher than that of the conventional TBC.
