Which phenomenon limits oxidation coating lifetime in turbine blades at high temperatures?

💡 Explanation

Fick's law explains Kirkendall diffusion, as elements diffuse at different rates, creating vacancies that coalesce into voids. Oxidation coatings degrade because void formation weakens the coating rather than embrittlement or increased plasticity given the extreme temperatures.
