  • Publication number: 20040156724
    Abstract: The invention relates to a thermal barrier coating material for coating a gas turbine member that provides a higher thermal barrier property and a higher peeling resistance. In a first aspect of the invention, a metal binding layer 22 and a porous ZrO2-based ceramic layer 23 are laminated successively on a base material 21, and microcracks that extend in the thickness direction are formed in the ceramic layer 23. After laminating the ceramic layer 23 on the metal binding layer 22 by thermal spraying, etc., microcracks 24 are formed by irradiating with a laser beam a surface of the ceramic layer 23 and thereby heating the surface of the ceramic layer 23 at 1000° C. to 1700° C., while cooling the rear surface of the base material 21. Thus, microcracks 24 are formed by a heating and cooling cycle.
