Mechanical properties (Young's modulus E, hardness H, degree of plasticity) of all three components of thermal barrier coatings systems, prepared by electron beam physical vapour deposition (EB PVD), have been investigated by nanoindentation. The power-law exponents n and m, describing the shapes of the loading and unloading nanoindentation curves, increase with peak load for the yttrium-stabilized zirconia top coat (TC), containing 4 mol% Y2O3, and the NiCoCrAlY bond coat (BC). The variations of m are correlated to the degree of plasticity. Decrease of the hardness with increasing peak load, generally known as indentation size effect (ISE), is observed only for the TC and the BC. The ISE in the TC is explained using a new empirical equation based on the concept of elastic recovery. The average Young's moduli of the Ni-based superalloy substrate, the BC and the TC are 189±11 GPa, 166±7 GPa, and 126±25 GPa, respectively. The corresponding average hardness values are 3.3±0.3 GPa, 5.5±0.2 GPa, and 6.2±1.7 GPa, respectively. The mechanical properties of the TC show complex behaviour upon annealing at 1000°°C in air, which can be explained by changes in the porosity and the residual stresses.
