Abstract
The use of plasma sprayed thermal barrier coatings offers the possibility to protect thermally stressed components in engines against overstressing. A suitable material for that is Y2O3-partially stabilized zirconium oxide. Considering the high temperatures as they occur in use the thermal barrier coatings were examined for their resistance concerning phase composition, porosity, hardness and structure. It turned out that changes in structure lead to a considerable increase of porosity and thus to a decline of hardness. Concerning the phase composition there was only a slight change after heat treatment in favor of monoclinic and cubic modification.
