Abstract
Single crystal nickel-based alloys are widely used as blade materials in aero-gas-turbines because of their excellent resistance to high temperature deformation. Coatings are applied in order to provide the blades with adequate protection against environmental degradation and loss of mechanical performance. The major cause of failure in current single crystal blades of aero-gas-turbines is thermally induced stresses, which result from thermal strains over the blade thickness caused by temperature gradients during heating and cooling cycles.
