Abstract
Air plasma spraying and in situ laser irradiation by diode laser processes were combined to modify structural characteristics of TBCs. Results show that in situ laser remelting induces: (i) the growth of a columnar dendritic structure, which is promising concerning the thermo-mechanical properties of the coating; (ii) no phase transition: the main phase still remains the metastable tetragonal (t′) phase after laser treatment; (iii) an increase of the porosity level due to the formation of large cracks (as shown by image analysis).
