The measurements were performed with a conventional laser-flash apparatus with rear-side detection of the temperature response with an infrared detector. In the evaluation of the data the theoretica! curve is fitted to the complete recorded temperature-time curve, instead of just using the t1/2 point. It is also demonstrated how to include the influence of a thermal contact resistance between the two layers in the evaluation. The paper presents measurements on two-layered and three-layered heat-barrier systems consisting of ZrO, and Ni CrA| Y on nickel.}, language = {en} }
