This work investigated the microstructural and mechanical properties of TBC with high tem- perature treatment at 1 400℃ by scanning electron microscopy and indentation. We calculated elastic modulus and hardness through the application of Weibull statistics analysis. The results indicate that the microstructure of ceramic coat- ing will change continuously at high temperature, and accordingly the porosity decreases due to the grain growths and crack closes. In addition, the elastic mod- ulus and hardness nonlinearly go up with the heat treatment time and go down with increasing porosity. This demonstrates that the microstructural evolution and porosity of TBC are caused by high temperature treatment, and as a result its mechanical properties are influenced.展开更多
