Abstract

A thermal wave methodology for monitoring the thermal conduction of ceramic coatings with accumulating mechanical damage is described. Tests are conducted on a model alumina coating containing laminar defect intralayers. Controlled subsurface damage introduced with a spherical indenter is observed using a presectioned specimen. Microcrack damage accumulates progressively with increasing contact load and number of cycles. Associated changes in thermal diffusivity, specifically in the through-thickness direction, are imaged and quantified point-by-point using laser-generated thermal waves. The effective thermal resistance of the coating increases with crack density, up to the point of failure.
