A Statistical Assessment of the Damage State in Plasma-Sprayed Thermal Barrier Coating
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Thermal barrier coatings (TBC), which consist of yttria-partially-stabilized zirconia top coat and metallic bond coat deposited onto superalloy substrate, are favorably used as protective coatings of the hot section parts in advanced gas turbine engines to withstand increased inlet temperatures and thus improve engine performance. However, understanding and modeling the damage evolution in TBC under service exposed conditions still remain to be a challenge. This is due to the failure by the coupled effects of the external load-environment, the thermal expansion mismatch between the bond coat and TBC, microstructure of the coating, and degradation of the bond coat. In this study, the damage state in an air-plasma-sprayed APS) thermal barrier coating system was assessed using metallurgical and statistical methods. The damage evolution in the TBC can thus be described with a high degree of confidence. A mechanistic model, representing the micro-cracking mechanism, is presented and its prediction is also assessed on a statistical basis.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
