Abstract
A method of controlling an extent of a thermal barrier coating (TBC) sheet spall and a hot gas path (HGP) component are disclosed. The method provides an HGP component having a body with an exterior surface. Controlling the extent of the TBC sheet spall includes forming a TBC over a selected portion of the exterior surface of the body. The TBC includes a plurality of segments in a cellular pattern. Each segment is defined by one or more slots in the TBC, and each segment has a predefined area such that the extent of the TBC sheet spall is limited by the predefined area of each of the plurality of segments that constitute the TBC sheet spall.
