Evaluation of microstructural evolution and corrosion types in ultrasonic assisted laser re-melted thermal barrier coatings under exposure to molten salts
Microstructure and corrosion types of TBCs were significantly affected by UVPO. Self-healing of the cracks occurred when exposed to volume expansion under 20% UVPO. Intergranular corrosion was observed under 20% UVPO. External corrosion was observed under 50% UVPO.
