Hrechanyuk1 UDC 541.1+621.762:546-31 The standard material of the ceramic layer in thermal barrier coatings (TBCs)—a solid solution of ZrO2 stabilized with (6–8 wt.%) Y2O3 (YSZ)—approaches the temperature limit of its application (32% GdO1.5 reacted with the TGO layer to form a porous GdAlO3 intermediate phase, which affected their integrity and, finally, the TBC protective function. Calculational (finite elements) and experimental methods showed that the APS ZrO2–4 wt.% Dy2O3 coating with large globular pores had lower thermal conductivity and higher thermal fatigue life than YSZ did [125]. 190

The EB-PVD ZrO2–Gd2O3 and ZrO2–Dy2O3 coatings contain gadolinium zirconate (GdZ) and ZrO2 stabilized by Dy2O3 (DySZ). The single-layer DySZ and GdZ coatings have longer service life than the standard 7YSZ material does. In addition, the DySZ coating does not interact with the TGO layer [126]. The paper [127] studied ZrO2 materials doped with 3–10 mol.% Yb2O3 (YbSZ). The t-ZrO2 phase sintered at 1600C was identified in the samples containing 3–6 mol.% Yb2O3. In the range 300–1280C, the thermal conductivity of 7YSZ decreases from 3.0 to 2.38 W/(m · K) and the thermal conductivity of YbSZ (3–10 mol.% Yb2O3–ZrO2) remains much lower than that of 7YSZ. According to [126], two groups of samples can be identified. When zirconium dioxide is stabilized with 3–4 mol.% Yb2O3, the thermal conductivity in the range 300–1280C varies from 2.35–2.3 to 2.0 W/(m · K). When ZrO2 is stabilized with 5–10 mol.% Yb2O3, the thermal conductivity changes from 1.85 to 1.75 W/(m · K). The thermal conductivity of the sample containing 5 mol.% Yb2O3 is 24% lower than that of the starting 7YSZ coating. The same conclusion was made in [127] for the sample containing 10 mol.% Yb2O3, though its thermal conductivity remained much lower than that of 7YSZ but increased from 1.7 to 1.85 W/(m · K) in the temperature range in question. After the dense ZrO2–8 mol.% YbO1.5 material was aged for 192 h at 1150 and 1250°C, the t-ZrO2  F-ZrO2 + T-ZrO2 phase transformation occurred. The high starting fracture toughness (~87 J · m–2) decreased by ~56% at early ageing stages at both temperatures and gradually increased in the ageing process at 1150°C and more intensively at 1250°C. Transformation hardening activated in 192 h at 1250°C. Ferroelastic hardening was predominant in the absence of transformation hardening [27]. The ZrO2–Yb2O3 TBC demonstrated excellent thermal barrier properties at temperatures up to 1100°C. However, the coating had relatively low corrosion resistance to fuel combustion products and relatively low hightemperature oxidation resistance at elevated operating temperatures [122]. In the ZrO2–Y2O3 system, the greatest possible tetragonality of the nontransformable t-ZrO2 phase is equal to 1.0203. The difference betw
