I do not believe it to be copper as we didn't find any element evidence in the SEM/EDS analysis. We have had the problem of bad spitting before from the nozzle and electrode but that was resolved with proper gun maintenance. Those spits didn't look like these.

We perform cut ups and they extend through the ceramic and to the bond coat with is Amdry 9951 (CoNiCrAlY). We had SEM/EDS check for any iron or any other element thinking it may be rust, but results came back same as unspotted area. We have run samples in different booths, with different guns, with different powder lots, with different operators. Some parts show these spots and some do not. No common link yet. Anyone seen this in YZS before?
Thanks,
Jeff
Do you cooled the samples with air ?
Yes we cool with air jets. I will look into that possibility. Thanks.

RE: Spots in TBC
Hi Jeff
Have you resolved your problem?
This does look very much like water/oil contamination from air cooling jets. Surprised you can see what look like stains in cross-section though, other than perhaps defects like lamination faults.

RE: Spots in TBC
Hi Jeff
Dark field illumination shows it well. I would say its almost certainly caused by a fluid soaking through coating and leaving a stain.

I have attached a photo of the cross section with the discoloration. Not sure how it will look but you should be able to see the color all the way down to the bond coat.

Hi,
It is possible that the cooling air could have oil.
Try to change the cooling system or stop it.
