COATINGS AND A METHOD OF OPTICALLY DETECTING CORROSION IN COATINGS

A method for optically detecting hot corrosion of a thermal barrier coating (TBC), comprising: providing a TBC which includes an indicator material which has an optical emission which is altered by corrosion of the coating; irradiating the TBC with an excitation beam of light; receiving an optical e...

Zusammenfassung:A method for optically detecting hot corrosion of a thermal barrier coating (TBC), comprising: providing a TBC which includes an indicator material which has an optical emission which is altered by corrosion of the coating; irradiating the TBC with an excitation beam of light; receiving an optical emission from the TBC; obtaining a detection signal for the optical emission; and analysing the detection signal to identify one or more predeterminable spectral characteristics and evaluate the amount of corrosion of the TBC. Detection apparatus for optically detecting the corrosion of a thermal barrier coating with the mentioned method, and coating to be inspected by said apparatus and method.
