Popis: The contaminants found in biofuels include alkali and alkaline metals along with sulfur, phosphorus and silicon oxides. Furthermore, while calcium‑magnesium‑aluminum silicates (CMAS) are typically ingested as particulate in middle-east theaters, the impurity list in biofuels includes the necessary elements to form CMAS without exposure to any environment. This is significant as CMAS is particularly destructive for operating temperatures above its melting temperature (~1250 °C), particularly affecting the lifetime of 7 wt%Y2O3-ZrO2 (YSZ) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs). In the work reported currently, solutions containing the individual and unreacted constituents of CMAS were prepared and sprayed onto either air plasma sprayed (APS) or electron beam physically deposited (EB-PVD) TBCs and subsequently subjected to dynamic heating up to 1400 °C, simulating the deposit and thermal conditions of the biofuel impurities during combustion. Microstructure analysis revealed that the individual constituents of CMAS accelerated degradation of the TBCs compared to the same samples heated without impurities.
