Abstract

A multilayer overlay coating system containing an intermediate intermetallic layer (designated 2IML) is an architecture expected to show good fatigue resistance. Experimental characterisation and modelling simulations were carried out to classify the different crack initiation mechanisms occurring during fatigue of this coating system and to reveal how changes in the layer architecture lead to fatigue improvement. Fatigue improvement is achieved by decreasing the IML-Top layer thickness due to the increased surface crack initiation resistance. However subsurface initiation mechanisms inhibit the improvement (dominated by surface initiation mechanism) achieved by locating the IML-Top layer closer to the top surface.
