| Abstract | Ceramic based coatings such as Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBCs) are widely deposited onto gas turbine engine components to protect their metal substrate against high temperature. However, improper adhesive application, thermal stress and moisture penetration through the insulation materials can cause defects such as delamination to grow between the insulation and the metal surface. Such defects could lead to catastrophic failure if not immediately detected and repaired. Hence, it is imperative to non-destructively inspect these interfaces for delamination to avoid such an event. In this paper, a novel microwave non-destructive testing technique for ceramic-based coatings is proposed. This technique is based on scanning the surface of the coating with an open-ended rectangular waveguide and analyzing the reflections in the time domain. The proposed time-domain technique appears to reveal more about the depth of any existing delamination than any other microwave non-destructive testing (NDT) technique. Here, a ceramic sample with machined delamination is scanned using rectangular waveguides operating from 26.5 to 40 GHz. After applying Fourier analysis to the frequency domain waveguide reflections, time-domain results showed the delamination with significantly better depth resolution compared to frequency domain analysis. The results reported in this paper prove the advantages of the time-domain technique to forecast the relative delamination depth, which is important for many industrial applications. The depth information of delamination can be used in a condition-based predictive maintenance schedule to plan the inspection intervals efficiently, minimize the unnecessary replacements and provide practical guidance for future design. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
