It was found that the content of impurity oxides in 7YSZ, such as SiO2 and Al2O3, has a significant effect on the coating sintering resistance and phase stability of 7YSZ thermal barrier coatings (TBCs). The reduction of the impurity content will significantly improve the sintering resistance and phase stability of 7YSZ TBCs and thus allow the 7YSZ TBCs to be used at higher temperatures.
