Evaluation of microhardness, fracture toughness and residual stress in a thermal barrier coating system: A modified Vickers indentation technique

The evolution of microhardness, fracture toughness and residual stress of an air plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coating system under thermal cycles was investigated by a modified Vickers indentation instrument coupled with three kinds of indentation models. The results show that fracture toughness o...
