title = "Transient thermography testing of unpainted thermal barrier coating surfaces",
abstract = " This paper has investigated the effects of uneven surface discolouration of a thermal barrier coating (TBC) and of its IR translucency on the thermal responses observed by using mid and long wavelength IR cameras. It has been shown that unpainted blades can be tested satisfactorily by using a more powerful flash heating system and a long wavelength IR camera. The problem of uneven surface emissivity can be overcome by applying 2 nd derivative processing of the log-log surface cooling curves. ",
