The shuttle heat transfer is one of the reasons reducing the performance of Stirling engines. This study is concerned with the reduction in shuttle heat transfer by coating the displacer. The displacer of a gamma type Stirling engine was coated with a layer of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ), and t

Abstract
The microstructural change, crack initiation and spallation of a vacuum plasma sprayed (VPS) thermal barrier coating on an INCONELβ738 superalloy substrate were investigated after successive 300 h thermal cycles at 1050Β°C. The coating was characterised using Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) energy dispersive Xβray analysis (EDX) and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). Localised microβcracks at the yttrium (III) oxide stabilised zirconium (IV) oxide (YSZ) ceramic coating/thermally grown oxide (TGO) interface were observed after 8 cycles. Spallation of the YSZ coating occurred after approximately 21 cycles. Significant amounts of the elements titanium, tantalum and chromium were found within the TGO together with the formation of nickel, cobalt and chromiumβrich oxides at this TGO/YSZ interface.
