Abstract

A novel randomised nano-/micro-scale impact test method has been developed to experimentally simulate particulate erosion where statistically distributed impacts with defined energy occur sequentially within the test area. Tests have been performed on two brittle glasses (fused silica and BK7) to easily highlight the interaction between impacts, as well as on two ceramic thermal barrier coating systems (TBCs, yttria stabilised zirconia, 7YSZ, and gadolinium zirconate, GZO) that experience erosion in service. Differences in erosion resistance were reproduced in the randomised impact tests, with GZO less impact resistant than 7YSZ, and BK7 significantly worse than fused silica. The impact data show that erosion resistance is influenced by different factors for the glasses (crack morphology, longer-length interaction of radial-lateral cracks in BK7 vs cone-cracking in fused silica) and TBCs (fracture toughness).
