Abstract
In the present paper, we consider the evolution of residual stress and the corresponding
microstructure in the thermally grown oxide (TGO) formed on a type of platinum-aluminide
coating, RT22, on a single crystal superalloy CMSX4. Eight coated specimens were oxidised in a
simulated gas turbine environment at 850, 950 and 1050uC for periods of time extended up to
10 000 h. Photostimulated luminescence piezo-spectroscopy (PLPS) was used to measure the
residual stress in the TGO in order to provide a detailed evaluation of the stress developed at
each temperature. The stress variation was evaluated using a random measurement approach,
which demonstrated that up to 100 measurements provide data that allows the stress distributions
to be determined with high confidence. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy
dispersive X-ray (EDX) microanalysis have been adopted to investigate microstructural and
compositional changes in the TGO and the coating as a function of time and temperature. The
results are discussed with respect to the correlation between the statistically analysed stress
distribution, degradation of the TGO and coating overall integrity.
