The rotating components in the hot sections of land-based gas turbine are exposed to severe environments during several tens thousand operation hours at above $1100^{\circ}C$ operation temperature. To protect such components from high temperature oxidation, an intermediate bond coat is applied, typical of a MCrAlY-type metal alloy. This study is concerned with the thermal cyclic behavior of thermal barrier coatings. The MCrAlY bond coatings are deposited by HVOF (High Velocity Oxygen Fuel) method on a nickel-based superalloy (GTD-111). Thermal cyclic tests at $1100^{\circ}C$ in ambient air for various periods of time were used to evaluate the thermal cyclic resistance of the TBC coating. The microstructure and morphology of as-sprayed and of thermal cycled coatings were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD).
