Abstract
As per the second law of thermodynamics the efficiency of the engine depends upon the extraction of work against the heat supplied.
Minimisation of heat rejection leads to increase the work. Heat rejection takes place through the engine piston, valves and cylinder
heads to the surroundings. The aim of the study is to minimise this heat rejection to the surroundings. Heat transfer through the
engine parts is minimised by applying the thermal barrier coating materials on the top surface of the engine piston, cylinder heads
and valves. In this study an attempt is made to reduce the intensity of thermal and structural stresses by using a layer of the ceramic
material, like Yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) which has low thermal conductivity, high thermal resistance, chemical inertness, high
resistance to erosion, corrosion and high strength was selected as a coating material for engine component. This study present the
effect of coating on the piston and the performance of modified four stroke petrol engine and the emission characteristics of the
exhaust gas.

INTRODUCTION
Energy conservation and efficiency have always been the
quest of engineers concerned with internal combustion
engines. Even the petrol engine rejects about two thirds of the
heat energy of the fuel, one-third to the coolant, and one third
to the exhaust, leaving only about one-third as useful power
output. Theoretically if the heat rejected could be reduced,
then the thermal efficiency would be improved. Low Heat
Rejection engines aim to do this, by reducing the heat lost to
the coolant.
Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBCs) in petrol engines lead to
advantages including higher power density, fuel efficiency,
and multi fuel capacity due to higher combustion chamber
temperature. Using TBC can increase engine power and
decrease the specific fuel consumption and increase the
exhaust gas temperature. Although several systems have been
used as TBC for different purposes, yttria stabilized zirconia
has received the most attention. Several important factors
playing important roles in TBC lifetimes including thermal
conductivity, thermal, chemical stability at the service
temperature, high thermo mechanical stability to the maximum
service temperature and the thermal expansion coefficient
(TEC) [4]
The petrol engine with its combustion chamber walls insulated
by ceramics is referred to as Low Heat-Rejection (LHR)
engine [7]. The LHR engine has been conceived basically to
improve fuel economy by eliminating the conventional
cooling system and converting part of the increased exhaust
energy into shaft work using the turbocharged system.
This study presents effect of Zirconia coating on the piston,
cylinder head and valves on the performance of the modified
four stroke petrol engine and emission characteristics of the
exhaust gas.
THERMAL BARRIER COATING:
Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) have been successfully
applied to the internal combustion engine, in particular the
combustion chamber, to simulate adiabatic engines. The
objectives are not only for reduced in-cylinder heat rejection
and thermal fatigue protection of underlying metallic surfaces,
but also for possible reduction of engine emissions. The
application of TBC reduces the heat loss to the engine cooling-
jacket through the surfaces exposed to the heat transfer such as
cylinder head, liner, piston crown and piston rings. The
insulation of the combustion chamber with ceramic coating
affects the combustion process and hence the performance and
exhaust emissions characteristics of the engines [2].
A typical TBC system consists of (i) the top coat (TC), a
porous ceramic layer that acts as the insulator, (ii) the bond
coat (BC), an oxidation-resistant metallic layer between the

substrate and the TC and (iii) the super alloy or other material
substrate that carries the structural load [6].
THE TOP COAT:
The top coat provides thermal insulation for the underlying
substrate. The specifications for this coating require a material
that combines low thermal conductivity and a coefficient of
thermal expansion (CTE) that it is as similar as possible to that
of the substrate, so that generation of stresses during thermal
cycling can be minimized. The preferred material for this
application is zirconia. Zirconia may exist as three solid
phases, which are stable at different temperatures. At
temperatures up to 1200°C, the monoclinic phase (m) is stable.
Zirconia transforms from the monoclinic to the tetragonal
phase (t) above 1200°C and above 2370°C to the cubic phase
(c). Transformation from m to the t phase has an associated
volume decrease of 4% . To prevent catastrophic cracking as a
result of the volume changes accompanying the t→m
transformation, which occurs at temperatures within the range
of the working environment in gas turbines, stabilizers are
added to the zirconia. These stabilize zirconia into its cubic or
tetragonal phases. Early attempts used MgO to stabilize
zirconia in its cubic state, by adding 25 wt% MgO.
However, during heat treatment the zirconia reverts to its
monoclinic form and the stabilizing oxide precipitates out
from solid solution, affecting the thermal conductivity.
Zirconia can be fully stabilised to its cubic phase by adding
20% yttria by weight. However, such fully stabilised zirconia
coatings perform very poorly in thermal cycling tests .
Typically 7-9wt% yttria is used to partially stabilise zirconia,
although other stabilizers have been used as well. Other
stabilizers include CaO, MgO, CeO2 Sc2O3. The basic criteria
for the selection of a suitable stabiliser include a suitable
cation radius, similar to that of zirconium, and a cubic crystal
structure. Inspite of the addition of a stabilizer in order to
ensure phase stability of the top coat, phase changes in the top
coat might still be induced during service.
An important aspect of the performance of top coat material is
its sintering behaviour. After prolonged heating during
service, sintering of the top coat can occur. This will result in
healing of the micro cracks and pores that will in turn reduce
the strain tolerance of the coating and increase the likelihood
for spallation.
BOND COAT:
The bond coat protects the underlying substrate from oxidation
and improves adhesion between the ceramic and the metal.
Oxidation occurs due to oxygen reaching the bond coat by
diffusion through the lattice of the top coat and permeation
through the pores. The yield and creep characteristics of the
bond coat are thought to be significant for the performance of
the TBC system.
Commonly used bond coats can be divided in two categories:
MCrAlY (where M= Co or Ni or both) and Pt-modified
aluminides. These coatings were developed for use as
protective coatings against oxidation and hot corrosion. When
exposed to an oxidizing environment, they form a stable dense
alumina layer in preference to other oxides. This alumina,
often termed the thermally grown oxide (TGO) prevents
further attack of the underlying material, due to its low oxygen
diffusivity and its good adherence. MCrAlY bond coats are
usually deposited by low –pressure plasma spraying and
consist of two phases (β-NiAl and either γ-Ni solid solution or
γ’Ni3Al). Small amounts of Y are added in order to improve
TGO adherence .Yttrium additions have been found to inhibit
void formation at the TGO/BC interface. In addition, Y-rich
oxide protrusions are formed in the oxide that mechanically
pegs the oxide to the alloy. Furthermore, yttrium has the
effect of decreasing the grain size of the TGO and thus raising
its mechanical strength.
Pt-modified aluminides are usually fabricated by
electroplating a thin Pt layer on the superalloy and then
aluminizing by chemical vapor deposition or pack
cementation. These coatings usually consist of a single-
phase-β with Pt in solid solution. Platinum additions
improve the spallation resistance of conventional aluminide
coatings. However, the mechanisms by which this occurs are
not fully understood.
Optimum adhesion between the bond coat and the top coat is
attained differently in plasma sprayed and EB-PVD coatings.
In plasma sprayed coatings, it is achieved by mechanical
interlocking of the two interfaces, so the surface roughness of
the bond coat is an important parameter. In contrast, EB-PVD
coatings achieve maximum durability when applied to a
smooth (preferably polished) surface, free of absorbed gases
or loose oxides. Asperities in the BC/TGO interface are
thought to serve as nucleation sites for cracks that cause
coating spallation when they coalesce.
MCrAlY bond coats creep at temperatures above 800°C. At
this temperature, stresses in the BC are relieved and it is non-
load bearing. The creep behaviour of the BC can have a
significant influence on the stress state of the TBC and thus on
the failure mechanisms [8].
NICKEL BASED SUPERALLOYS:
Superalloys have been described as “alloys developed for
elevated temperature service, usually based on group VIIIA
elements, where relatively severe mechanical stressing is
encountered and where high surface stability is frequently
required”. Progressively higher amounts of Aluminium,
Titanium and associated compositional modifications
increased the temperature capability of the alloys. Nickel
based superalloys can currently operate up to homologous
temperatures of 1100°C.

Nickel provides a face-centered cubic(FCC) lattice, which
has a high modulus, 5 independent slip systems and low
diffusivity for substitutional solutes. The formation of
coherent gamma prime precipitates and carbides lead to
strengthening. Advanced piston materials have a relatively
high volume fraction of gamma prime (Ni3Al), around 70%.
Aluminium forms a stable alumina scale during exposure to
high temperature and also strengthens the alloy by forming
gamma prime[6].
Superalloys were conventionally produced by casting
methods. However, superalloys produced by casting methods
often did not exhibit consistent creep properties. This problem
led to the development of directional solidification (DS),
which produces castings with grains aligned in the direction of
maximum stress and few grain boundaries normal to this
direction. Directional solidification is achieved by ensuring
that the heat during solidification of the casting is removed in
a direction parallel to the desired growth direction, while a
liquid/solid interface perpendicular to the solidification
direction is maintained. DS resulted in a significant increase in
the creep strength of these superalloys, relative to
conventionally cast alloys, and led to an increase in the
temperature capabilities of superalloys [8].
A further important development in the processing of
superalloys was the production of single crystal castings. This
technology was achieved by extending the DS technology and
adding a simple modification to the casting mould, either a
crystal selection device or a “seed” crystal. Single crystals
have improved creep properties relative to DS superalloys.
COATING SYSTEM:
Plasma Sprayed Coatings:
A characteristic of all thermal spray processes is a highly
concentrated power source, to which the coating material is
fed in the form of powder, wire or rod. The coating material is
melted and accelerated to the substrate, forming the coating.
The coating is formed of many overlapping splats, solidifying
one after another and locking one to another. Due to the high
kinetic energy of the droplets, the splats spread over the
substrate, forming a pancake. It is widely used for the
production of TBCs.
PS-TBCs have the necessary strain tolerance required for most
of the applications in which such coatings are currently
applied. This is largely a consequence of the presence of many
fine micro cracks and pores in the microstructure, which
results in low stiffness. This low stiffness prevents large
stresses from being generated in the top coat. The thermal
conductivity of plasma sprayed coatings range from 0.5-1.4
W/mK, which is lower than corresponding values for EB-PVD
coatings The microstructure of PS TBCs exhibits pores and
grain boundaries aligned perpendicular to the direction of heat
flux. Grain boundaries and pores hinder heat transfer. The
shape and orientation of porosity with respect to the heat flux
are more critical factors than the total amount of porosity for
the thermal conductivity of PS coating. EB-PVD coatings
offer benefits over PS coatings in terms of the erosion
resistance. In PS coatings, the erosion occurs in the form of
removal of the mechanically bonded splats by the erosive
material. Since intersplat porosity is already present, the
energy required for this process is low.
The low cost associated with the PS process compared to EB-
PVD makes PS TBCs is the more attractive. However,
applications that require excellent strain tolerance, good
surface finish and erosion resistance, such as in aerofoils and
aero-gas turbines, EB-PVD coatings will be favoured.
THE PLASMA SPRAYING PROCESS:
The Plasma Jet:
Plasma Spraying, first conducted by Reinecke in 1939, was
advanced in the late 50´s by several other scientists. Since
then, it has become increasingly sophisticated and is nowadays
widely used in surface technology.
The plasma spraying gun consists principally of two
electrodes.
Schematic diagram of Plasma spray gun
Figure shows a schematic of the plasma spray gun, with the
thoriated tungsten cathode inside the water-cooled copper
anode. A gas, commonly a mixture of argon and hydrogen, is
injected into the annular space between the two. To start the
process, a DC electric arc is stuck between the two electrodes.
The electric arc produces gas ionisation, i.e. gas atoms lose
electrons and become positive ions. Electrons move with
high velocity to the anode, while ions move to the cathode. On
their way, electrons and atoms collide with neutral gas atoms
and molecules. Hence, the electric arc continuously converts
the gas into a plasma (a mixture of ions and electron of high
energy). The plasma is on average, electrically neutral and
characterized by a very high temperature. The kinetic energy
of the plasma (mostly carried by free electrons) is converted

into thermal energy during collisions between ions, electrons
and atoms. In this way, the plasma is capable of producing
temperatures up to approximately 104K. The hot gas exits the
nozzle of the gun with high velocity.
Powder material is fed into the plasma plume. The powder
particles are melted and propelled by the hot gas onto the
surface of the substrate. When individual molten particles hit
the substrate surface, they form splats by spreading, cooling
and solidifying. These splats then incrementally build the
coating.
Plasma plumes exhibit radial temperature gradients. Whereas
particles that pass through the central core of the plasma tend
to be melted, superheated or even vaporised, particles that
flow near the periphery may not melt at all. This will affect
the final structure of the coating, which may contain partially
molten or unmelted particles. Voids, oxidised particles and
unmelted particles can appear in the coating . These effects
may be desirable, or they may be unwanted, depending on the
requirements of the coating.
Coatings Microstructure and Properties:
Plasma sprayed coatings are built up particle by particle.
Molten droplets arrive one at a time and impact with the
underlying material, which consist of previously solidified
droplets (splats), and there they solidify. Hence, the
microstructure of the PS coatings is different from that of most
other materials. Plasma sprayed coatings have a non-
homogeneous, layered structure, consisting of splats with a
pancake-like shape. Also, partially molten particles, oxides
and voids are present in a typical PS structure [1].
Porosity levels in plasma sprayed ceramic coatings are
generally in the range 3-20%. Porosity might be in the form of
inter splat porosity (fine gaps between one lamella and
another) or larger irregularly shaped void which result from
incomplete conformation of splats to the topography of the
impact site. For thermal barrier coatings, high porosity may be
desirable, since the thermal conductivity of the coating is
decreased by the presence of porosity.
Plasma sprayed coatings also have different mechanical
properties from corresponding bulk material. Strength values
of the coatings are usually only a small fraction of the values
of corresponding dense materials. The Young’s modulus of
metallic coatings obtained by plasma spraying has been found
to be of the order of 1/3 that of bulk material, though ceramic
coatings gives lower modulus. For PSZ, typical values of
Young’s modulus for as-sprayed coatings are 10-40 GPa in
comparison to 210 GPa for dense zirconia. The thermal
conductivity of PS coatings is usually lower than
corresponding values for the bulk material. The coatings
exhibit pores and planar defects which inhibit heat transfer.
The coefficient of thermal expansion, however, is not
influenced by the coating morphology since pores and voids
do not contribute to expansion.
Adhesion of plasma sprayed coatings to the underlying
substrate is achieved mainly by mechanical interlocking.
Therefore, the surface roughness of the substrate often plays a
role in interfacial adhesion.
During plasma spraying, stresses are generated in the coating
as consequence of the rapid solidification of the molten
droplets (quenching stresses) and during subsequent cooling as
a result of mismatch of the thermal expansion coefficients of
substrate and coating.
Advantages of Plasma Spray Coating:
It can deposit metals, ceramics or combinations of these, since
the high plasma temperatures permit the spraying of materials
with high melting points. High particle velocities result in
generating microstructures with relatively low porosity and
high bond strength. It is a Economical process because it is
conducted in atmospheric condition. When compared with
EB-PVD coating, the thermal conductivity of plasma sprayed
coating ranges is low.

engine parts were dismantled. Cylinder heads, piston, walls
were coated with YSZ. The coated parts of the engines are

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION:
The low heat rejection (LHR) engine concept is based on
minimising this heat rejection to the coolant and recovering
the energy in the form of useful work. Zirconia is a low
thermal conductivity material. It will act as a barrier for the
heat transfer to the surroundings from the engine’s combustion
chamber and reduces the heat loss from the engine. The
various parameters which were affected by zirconia coated
piston is discussed below:-

Brake Power (B.P):
Fig.3 shows the comparison of brake power for various loads.
The parameters affected the brake power are the torque and
the speed. The testing was carried out for the constant speed of
2500 rpm for both coated and uncoated piston. The loads are
taken as 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and full load condition for both
the case. Therefore brake power is same for both the case.
Total Fuel Consumption (T.F.C):
Fig.4 shows the variations of total fuel consumption of the
standard engine and compared with coated piston. It is clear
that the total fuel consumption of the engine after coating is
reduced. This will increase the brake thermal efficiency of the
engine. This is due to the reduction of heat loss to
surroundings from the engine. From that it is obvious that
there will be an excess heat in the engine, when compared
with the amount of heat in the engine without coating, thereby
increasing the brake thermal efficiency of the engine. Also it
is observed that TFC is reduced up to some extent and it is
increased for higher power requirement. It is low up to 60% of
the load and then it is increases.
Specific Fuel Consumption (S.F.C):
From the fig.5, it is clear that SFC is high for low loads and it
is decreasing when the load increases. Moreover same for
coated and uncoated pistons, but at the higher loads a
significant change in SFC occurs in coated pistons. The
reduction of SFC is 0.25 kg/kw-hr at 80% loads and 0.73
kg/kw-hr at full load condition for coated piston. It is due to
that the TFC increases for higher load conditions.
Mechanical Efficiency:
From the fig.6, it is observed that the mechanical efficiency is
increasing for the coated piston from low load conditions to a
higher load conditions. The efficiency is always 10% higher in
the coated piston from low load to a higher load due to the
increases of indicated power in the coated piston when
compared with uncoated piston. The parameters affected the

indicated power are brake power and friction power. Though
the brake power is same for both the cases at all loads, the
friction power is 0.6kw higher in the uncoated pistons.
Therefore the mechanical efficiency is always higher in the
case of coated piston.
Brake Thermal Efficiency:
Fig.7, shows that brake thermal efficiency is low for the both
the cases, because of the low brake power at low loads. Then it
is increases due to the brake power increases. A significant
improvement is observed at the full load conditions, the brake
thermal efficiency is increases above 3% in the coated piston.
It is due to the TFC of coated piston is 0.131kg/hr less than the
uncoated piston at the full load
NOX Emissions:
From the fig.10, it is clear that there is a greater reduction of
oxides of Nitrogen due to coating because of nitrogen has
observed by zirconia. Generally oxygen availability is high in
petrol, so at high temperature nitrogen easily combines with
oxygen, but availability of nitrogen is less due to coating and
therefore forms less NOX. It is observed that the NOX
emissions are slightly increased for with and without coating
up to 60% of the load and then these emissions reduces up to
full load. The difference level is 150ppm at low load and then
it is slightly decreases when the load increases. 73ppm
difference is observed at full load conditions for both the case
of the piston.
Unburned HC Emissions:
The measured unburned HC emissions for uncoated and
coated engine pistons are shown in fig.9.The HC emissions are
reduced when the engine running with coated piston. Because
at high temperature, engine will have sufficient amount of
oxygen, which mixes with HC emissions. As a result, HC will
split into H and C, which mixes with O2, thereby reducing HC
emissions. The difference levels are approximately 180ppm at
low load and 150ppm at full load.
CO Emissions:
Fig.8 shows the emissions of CO for various loads. It is found
that the CO is decreased after coating due to complete
combustion. At high temperature C easily combines with O2
and reduces CO emission. At low load CO emissions are 1.4
% (by volume) less than the uncoated piston. This range of
difference is maintained up to 60% of the load and then the
CO emissions are increased in the uncoated piston. At full
load the differences reaches 2.5%.
CONCLUSIONS
As the zirconia is a low thermal conductivity material, it
reduces the heat loss from the cylinder to the surroundings.
Therefore the efficiencies are increased and the emissions are
reduced because of various chemical reactions takes place
inside the cylinder at high temperature. Brake thermal
efficiency and mechanical efficiency of coated piston are
increased by the average value of 9% and 25% respectively.
7% reduction in total fuel consumption and 6% reduction in
specific fuel consumption were achieved with the coated
piston. 14% of NOX emissions were reduced due to coating
because of nitrogen has observed by zirconia. 23% of
unburned HC emissions were reduced by using the coated
piston. CO emissions are reduced by 48% because of at high
temperature C easily combines with O2 and reduces CO
emission.

Effect of thermal barrier coating for the improvement

  • 1. IJRET: International Journal of Research in Engineering and Technology eISSN: 2319-1163 | pISSN: 2321-7308 __________________________________________________________________________________________ Volume: 02 Issue: 07 | Jul-2013, Available @ http://www.ijret.org 113 EFFECT OF THERMAL BARRIER COATING FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF SI ENGINE PERFORMANCE & EMISSION CHARACTERISTICS J.Rajasekaran1 , B.M.Gnanasekaran2 , T.Senthilkumar3 , B.Kumaragurubaran4 , M.Chandrasekar5 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Department of Mechanical engineering, University College of engineering, Anna University, BIT Campus, Trichy-620 024, Tamilnadu, India. Abstract As per the second law of thermodynamics the efficiency of the engine depends upon the extraction of work against the heat supplied. Minimisation of heat rejection leads to increase the work. Heat rejection takes place through the engine piston, valves and cylinder heads to the surroundings. The aim of the study is to minimise this heat rejection to the surroundings. Heat transfer through the engine parts is minimised by applying the thermal barrier coating materials on the top surface of the engine piston, cylinder heads and valves. In this study an attempt is made to reduce the intensity of thermal and structural stresses by using a layer of the ceramic material, like Yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) which has low thermal conductivity, high thermal resistance, chemical inertness, high resistance to erosion, corrosion and high strength was selected as a coating material for engine component. This study present the effect of coating on the piston and the performance of modified four stroke petrol engine and the emission characteristics of the exhaust gas. Key words: Yttrium – zirconium coating, Low heat rejection, Thermal barrier coatings, Engine performance and Emission characteristics ---------------------------------------------------------------------***------------------------------------------------------------------------. INTRODUCTION Energy conservation and efficiency have always been the quest of engineers concerned with internal combustion engines. Even the petrol engine rejects about two thirds of the heat energy of the fuel, one-third to the coolant, and one third to the exhaust, leaving only about one-third as useful power output. Theoretically if the heat rejected could be reduced, then the thermal efficiency would be improved. Low Heat Rejection engines aim to do this, by reducing the heat lost to the coolant. Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBCs) in petrol engines lead to advantages including higher power density, fuel efficiency, and multi fuel capacity due to higher combustion chamber temperature. Using TBC can increase engine power and decrease the specific fuel consumption and increase the exhaust gas temperature. Although several systems have been used as TBC for different purposes, yttria stabilized zirconia has received the most attention. Several important factors playing important roles in TBC lifetimes including thermal conductivity, thermal, chemical stability at the service temperature, high thermo mechanical stability to the maximum service temperature and the thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) [4] The petrol engine with its combustion chamber walls insulated by ceramics is referred to as Low Heat-Rejection (LHR) engine [7]. The LHR engine has been conceived basically to improve fuel economy by eliminating the conventional cooling system and converting part of the increased exhaust energy into shaft work using the turbocharged system. This study presents effect of Zirconia coating on the piston, cylinder head and valves on the performance of the modified four stroke petrol engine and emission characteristics of the exhaust gas. THERMAL BARRIER COATING: Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) have been successfully applied to the internal combustion engine, in particular the combustion chamber, to simulate adiabatic engines. The objectives are not only for reduced in-cylinder heat rejection and thermal fatigue protection of underlying metallic surfaces, but also for possible reduction of engine emissions. The application of TBC reduces the heat loss to the engine cooling- jacket through the surfaces exposed to the heat transfer such as cylinder head, liner, piston crown and piston rings. The insulation of the combustion chamber with ceramic coating affects the combustion process and hence the performance and exhaust emissions characteristics of the engines [2]. A typical TBC system consists of (i) the top coat (TC), a porous ceramic layer that acts as the insulator, (ii) the bond coat (BC), an oxidation-resistant metallic layer between the

IJRET: International Journal of Research in Engineering and Technology eISSN: 2319-1163 | pISSN: 2321-7308 __________________________________________________________________________________________ Volume: 02 Issue: 07 | Jul-2013, Available @ http://www.ijret.org 114 substrate and the TC and (iii) the super alloy or other material substrate that carries the structural load [6]. THE TOP COAT: The top coat provides thermal insulation for the underlying substrate. The specifications for this coating require a material that combines low thermal conductivity and a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) that it is as similar as possible to that of the substrate, so that generation of stresses during thermal cycling can be minimized. The preferred material for this application is zirconia. Zirconia may exist as three solid phases, which are stable at different temperatures. At temperatures up to 1200°C, the monoclinic phase (m) is stable. Zirconia transforms from the monoclinic to the tetragonal phase (t) above 1200°C and above 2370°C to the cubic phase (c). Transformation from m to the t phase has an associated volume decrease of 4% . To prevent catastrophic cracking as a result of the volume changes accompanying the t→m transformation, which occurs at temperatures within the range of the working environment in gas turbines, stabilizers are added to the zirconia. These stabilize zirconia into its cubic or tetragonal phases. Early attempts used MgO to stabilize zirconia in its cubic state, by adding 25 wt% MgO. However, during heat treatment the zirconia reverts to its monoclinic form and the stabilizing oxide precipitates out from solid solution, affecting the thermal conductivity. Zirconia can be fully stabilised to its cubic phase by adding 20% yttria by weight. However, such fully stabilised zirconia coatings perform very poorly in thermal cycling tests . Typically 7-9wt% yttria is used to partially stabilise zirconia, although other stabilizers have been used as well. Other stabilizers include CaO, MgO, CeO2 Sc2O3. The basic criteria for the selection of a suitable stabiliser include a suitable cation radius, similar to that of zirconium, and a cubic crystal structure. Inspite of the addition of a stabilizer in order to ensure phase stability of the top coat, phase changes in the top coat might still be induced during service. An important aspect of the performance of top coat material is its sintering behaviour. After prolonged heating during service, sintering of the top coat can occur. This will result in healing of the micro cracks and pores that will in turn reduce the strain tolerance of the coating and increase the likelihood for spallation. BOND COAT: The bond coat protects the underlying substrate from oxidation and improves adhesion between the ceramic and the metal. Oxidation occurs due to oxygen reaching the bond coat by diffusion through the lattice of the top coat and permeation through the pores. The yield and creep characteristics of the bond coat are thought to be significant for the performance of the TBC system. Commonly used bond coats can be divided in two categories: MCrAlY (where M= Co or Ni or both) and Pt-modified aluminides. These coatings were developed for use as protective coatings against oxidation and hot corrosion. When exposed to an oxidizing environment, they form a stable dense alumina layer in preference to other oxides. This alumina, often termed the thermally grown oxide (TGO) prevents further attack of the underlying material, due to its low oxygen diffusivity and its good adherence. MCrAlY bond coats are usually deposited by low –pressure plasma spraying and consist of two phases (β-NiAl and either γ-Ni solid solution or γ’Ni3Al). Small amounts of Y are added in order to improve TGO adherence .Yttrium additions have been found to inhibit void formation at the TGO/BC interface. In addition, Y-rich oxide protrusions are formed in the oxide that mechanically pegs the oxide to the alloy. Furthermore, yttrium has the effect of decreasing the grain size of the TGO and thus raising its mechanical strength. Pt-modified aluminides are usually fabricated by electroplating a thin Pt layer on the superalloy and then aluminizing by chemical vapor deposition or pack cementation. These coatings usually consist of a single- phase-β with Pt in solid solution. Platinum additions improve the spallation resistance of conventional aluminide coatings. However, the mechanisms by which this occurs are not fully understood. Optimum adhesion between the bond coat and the top coat is attained differently in plasma sprayed and EB-PVD coatings. In plasma sprayed coatings, it is achieved by mechanical interlocking of the two interfaces, so the surface roughness of the bond coat is an important parameter. In contrast, EB-PVD coatings achieve maximum durability when applied to a smooth (preferably polished) surface, free of absorbed gases or loose oxides. Asperities in the BC/TGO interface are thought to serve as nucleation sites for cracks that cause coating spallation when they coalesce. MCrAlY bond coats creep at temperatures above 800°C. At this temperature, stresses in the BC are relieved and it is non- load bearing. The creep behaviour of the BC can have a significant influence on the stress state of the TBC and thus on the failure mechanisms [8]. NICKEL BASED SUPERALLOYS: Superalloys have been described as “alloys developed for elevated temperature service, usually based on group VIIIA elements, where relatively severe mechanical stressing is encountered and where high surface stability is frequently required”. Progressively higher amounts of Aluminium, Titanium and associated compositional modifications increased the temperature capability of the alloys. Nickel based superalloys can currently operate up to homologous temperatures of 1100°C.

IJRET: International Journal of Research in Engineering and Technology eISSN: 2319-1163 | pISSN: 2321-7308 __________________________________________________________________________________________ Volume: 02 Issue: 07 | Jul-2013, Available @ http://www.ijret.org 115 Nickel provides a face-centered cubic(FCC) lattice, which has a high modulus, 5 independent slip systems and low diffusivity for substitutional solutes. The formation of coherent gamma prime precipitates and carbides lead to strengthening. Advanced piston materials have a relatively high volume fraction of gamma prime (Ni3Al), around 70%. Aluminium forms a stable alumina scale during exposure to high temperature and also strengthens the alloy by forming gamma prime[6]. Superalloys were conventionally produced by casting methods. However, superalloys produced by casting methods often did not exhibit consistent creep properties. This problem led to the development of directional solidification (DS), which produces castings with grains aligned in the direction of maximum stress and few grain boundaries normal to this direction. Directional solidification is achieved by ensuring that the heat during solidification of the casting is removed in a direction parallel to the desired growth direction, while a liquid/solid interface perpendicular to the solidification direction is maintained. DS resulted in a significant increase in the creep strength of these superalloys, relative to conventionally cast alloys, and led to an increase in the temperature capabilities of superalloys [8]. A further important development in the processing of superalloys was the production of single crystal castings. This technology was achieved by extending the DS technology and adding a simple modification to the casting mould, either a crystal selection device or a “seed” crystal. Single crystals have improved creep properties relative to DS superalloys. COATING SYSTEM: Plasma Sprayed Coatings: A characteristic of all thermal spray processes is a highly concentrated power source, to which the coating material is fed in the form of powder, wire or rod. The coating material is melted and accelerated to the substrate, forming the coating. The coating is formed of many overlapping splats, solidifying one after another and locking one to another. Due to the high kinetic energy of the droplets, the splats spread over the substrate, forming a pancake. It is widely used for the production of TBCs. PS-TBCs have the necessary strain tolerance required for most of the applications in which such coatings are currently applied. This is largely a consequence of the presence of many fine micro cracks and pores in the microstructure, which results in low stiffness. This low stiffness prevents large stresses from being generated in the top coat. The thermal conductivity of plasma sprayed coatings range from 0.5-1.4 W/mK, which is lower than corresponding values for EB-PVD coatings The microstructure of PS TBCs exhibits pores and grain boundaries aligned perpendicular to the direction of heat flux. Grain boundaries and pores hinder heat transfer. The shape and orientation of porosity with respect to the heat flux are more critical factors than the total amount of porosity for the thermal conductivity of PS coating. EB-PVD coatings offer benefits over PS coatings in terms of the erosion resistance. In PS coatings, the erosion occurs in the form of removal of the mechanically bonded splats by the erosive material. Since intersplat porosity is already present, the energy required for this process is low. The low cost associated with the PS process compared to EB- PVD makes PS TBCs is the more attractive. However, applications that require excellent strain tolerance, good surface finish and erosion resistance, such as in aerofoils and aero-gas turbines, EB-PVD coatings will be favoured. THE PLASMA SPRAYING PROCESS: The Plasma Jet: Plasma Spraying, first conducted by Reinecke in 1939, was advanced in the late 50´s by several other scientists. Since then, it has become increasingly sophisticated and is nowadays widely used in surface technology. The plasma spraying gun consists principally of two electrodes. Schematic diagram of Plasma spray gun Figure shows a schematic of the plasma spray gun, with the thoriated tungsten cathode inside the water-cooled copper anode. A gas, commonly a mixture of argon and hydrogen, is injected into the annular space between the two. To start the process, a DC electric arc is stuck between the two electrodes. The electric arc produces gas ionisation, i.e. gas atoms lose electrons and become positive ions. Electrons move with high velocity to the anode, while ions move to the cathode. On their way, electrons and atoms collide with neutral gas atoms and molecules. Hence, the electric arc continuously converts the gas into a plasma (a mixture of ions and electron of high energy). The plasma is on average, electrically neutral and characterized by a very high temperature. The kinetic energy of the plasma (mostly carried by free electrons) is converted

IJRET: International Journal of Research in Engineering and Technology eISSN: 2319-1163 | pISSN: 2321-7308 __________________________________________________________________________________________ Volume: 02 Issue: 07 | Jul-2013, Available @ http://www.ijret.org 116 into thermal energy during collisions between ions, electrons and atoms. In this way, the plasma is capable of producing temperatures up to approximately 104K. The hot gas exits the nozzle of the gun with high velocity. Powder material is fed into the plasma plume. The powder particles are melted and propelled by the hot gas onto the surface of the substrate. When individual molten particles hit the substrate surface, they form splats by spreading, cooling and solidifying. These splats then incrementally build the coating. Plasma plumes exhibit radial temperature gradients. Whereas particles that pass through the central core of the plasma tend to be melted, superheated or even vaporised, particles that flow near the periphery may not melt at all. This will affect the final structure of the coating, which may contain partially molten or unmelted particles. Voids, oxidised particles and unmelted particles can appear in the coating . These effects may be desirable, or they may be unwanted, depending on the requirements of the coating. Coatings Microstructure and Properties: Plasma sprayed coatings are built up particle by particle. Molten droplets arrive one at a time and impact with the underlying material, which consist of previously solidified droplets (splats), and there they solidify. Hence, the microstructure of the PS coatings is different from that of most other materials. Plasma sprayed coatings have a non- homogeneous, layered structure, consisting of splats with a pancake-like shape. Also, partially molten particles, oxides and voids are present in a typical PS structure [1]. Porosity levels in plasma sprayed ceramic coatings are generally in the range 3-20%. Porosity might be in the form of inter splat porosity (fine gaps between one lamella and another) or larger irregularly shaped void which result from incomplete conformation of splats to the topography of the impact site. For thermal barrier coatings, high porosity may be desirable, since the thermal conductivity of the coating is decreased by the presence of porosity. Plasma sprayed coatings also have different mechanical properties from corresponding bulk material. Strength values of the coatings are usually only a small fraction of the values of corresponding dense materials. The Young’s modulus of metallic coatings obtained by plasma spraying has been found to be of the order of 1/3 that of bulk material, though ceramic coatings gives lower modulus. For PSZ, typical values of Young’s modulus for as-sprayed coatings are 10-40 GPa in comparison to 210 GPa for dense zirconia. The thermal conductivity of PS coatings is usually lower than corresponding values for the bulk material. The coatings exhibit pores and planar defects which inhibit heat transfer. The coefficient of thermal expansion, however, is not influenced by the coating morphology since pores and voids do not contribute to expansion. Adhesion of plasma sprayed coatings to the underlying substrate is achieved mainly by mechanical interlocking. Therefore, the surface roughness of the substrate often plays a role in interfacial adhesion. During plasma spraying, stresses are generated in the coating as consequence of the rapid solidification of the molten droplets (quenching stresses) and during subsequent cooling as a result of mismatch of the thermal expansion coefficients of substrate and coating. Advantages of Plasma Spray Coating: It can deposit metals, ceramics or combinations of these, since the high plasma temperatures permit the spraying of materials with high melting points. High particle velocities result in generating microstructures with relatively low porosity and high bond strength. It is a Economical process because it is conducted in atmospheric condition. When compared with EB-PVD coating, the thermal conductivity of plasma sprayed coating ranges is low. Fig.1Engine parts after coating EXPERIMENTAL SETUP: A Honda GK 200 engine was tested with brake drum load. Table 1 tabulates the specification of the engine. The engine tests were conducted in single cylinder, air cooled spark ignition engine at constant speed of 2500 rpm. Two types of test were conducted namely base line test and coated piston test by the following procedure. The load was given as 20%, 40%, 60%, and 80% and full load and the readings were taken. For each load the time taken for 10CC of fuel was measured. The exhaust emission and smoke parameter was measured by exhaust gas analyzer and smoke meter.

Cylinder heads, piston, walls were coated with YSZ. The coated parts of the engines are shown in the fig.1. Same procedure was repeated to predict the performance of the engine with the coating. Fig.2 shows the schematic diagram of the experimental setup. TABLE I Specification of the engine Fig.2 Schematic diagram of the experimental setup RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: The low heat rejection (LHR) engine concept is based on minimising this heat rejection to the coolant and recovering the energy in the form of useful work. Zirconia is a low thermal conductivity material. It will act as a barrier for the heat transfer to the surroundings from the engine’s combustion chamber and reduces the heat loss from the engine.

The parameters affected the brake power are the torque and the speed. The testing was carried out for the constant speed of 2500 rpm for both coated and uncoated piston. The loads are taken as 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and full load condition for both the case. Therefore brake power is same for both the case. Total Fuel Consumption (T.F.C): Fig.4 shows the variations of total fuel consumption of the standard engine and compared with coated piston. It is clear that the total fuel consumption of the engine after coating is reduced. This will increase the brake thermal efficiency of the engine. This is due to the reduction of heat loss to surroundings from the engine. From that it is obvious that there will be an excess heat in the engine, when compared with the amount of heat in the engine without coating, thereby increasing the brake thermal efficiency of the engine. Also it is observed that TFC is reduced up to some extent and it is increased for higher power requirement. It is low up to 60% of the load and then it is increases. Specific Fuel Consumption (S.F.C): From the fig.5, it is clear that SFC is high for low loads and it is decreasing when the load increases. Moreover same for coated and uncoated pistons, but at the higher loads a significant change in SFC occurs in coated pistons. The reduction of SFC is 0.25 kg/kw-hr at 80% loads and 0.73 kg/kw-hr at full load condition for coated piston. It is due to that the TFC increases for higher load conditions. Mechanical Efficiency: From the fig.6, it is observed that the mechanical efficiency is increasing for the coated piston from low load conditions to a higher load conditions. The efficiency is always 10% higher in the coated piston from low load to a higher load due to the increases of indicated power in the coated piston when compared with uncoated piston. The parameters affected the

Though the brake power is same for both the cases at all loads, the friction power is 0.6kw higher in the uncoated pistons. Therefore the mechanical efficiency is always higher in the case of coated piston. Brake Thermal Efficiency: Fig.7, shows that brake thermal efficiency is low for the both the cases, because of the low brake power at low loads. Then it is increases due to the brake power increases. A significant improvement is observed at the full load conditions, the brake thermal efficiency is increases above 3% in the coated piston. It is due to the TFC of coated piston is 0.131kg/hr less than the uncoated piston at the full load NOX Emissions: From the fig.10, it is clear that there is a greater reduction of oxides of Nitrogen due to coating because of nitrogen has observed by zirconia. Generally oxygen availability is high in petrol, so at high temperature nitrogen easily combines with oxygen, but availability of nitrogen is less due to coating and therefore forms less NOX. It is observed that the NOX emissions are slightly increased for with and without coating up to 60% of the load and then these emissions reduces up to full load. The difference level is 150ppm at low load and then it is slightly decreases when the load increases. 73ppm difference is observed at full load conditions for both the case of the piston. Unburned HC Emissions: The measured unburned HC emissions for uncoated and coated engine pistons are shown in fig.9.The HC emissions are reduced when the engine running with coated piston. Because at high temperature, engine will have sufficient amount of oxygen, which mixes with HC emissions. As a result, HC will split into H and C, which mixes with O2, thereby reducing HC emissions. The difference levels are approximately 180ppm at low load and 150ppm at full load. CO Emissions: Fig.8 shows the emissions of CO for various loads. It is found that the CO is decreased after coating due to complete combustion. At high temperature C easily combines with O2 and reduces CO emission. At low load CO emissions are 1.4 % (by volume) less than the uncoated piston. This range of difference is maintained up to 60% of the load and then the CO emissions are increased in the uncoated piston. At full load the differences reaches 2.5%. CONCLUSIONS As the zirconia is a low thermal conductivity material, it reduces the heat loss from the cylinder to the surroundings. Therefore the efficiencies are increased and the emissions are reduced because of various chemical reactions takes place inside the cylinder at high temperature. Brake thermal efficiency and mechanical efficiency of coated piston are increased by the average value of 9% and 25% respectively. 7% reduction in total fuel consumption and 6% reduction in specific fuel consumption were achieved with the coated piston. 14% of NOX emissions were reduced due to coating because of nitrogen has observed by zirconia. 23% of unburned HC emissions were reduced by using the coated piston. CO emissions are reduced by 48% because of at high temperature C easily combines with O2 and reduces CO emission.
