[0002] During the service process of aeroengines, due to being in harsh working conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, high-speed airflow, and oxidizing atmosphere for a long time, thermal growth oxidation often occurs on the surfaces of their hot-end components. The continuous growth of the oxide layer will cause the deterioration of the material microstructure, reduce its thermal barrier performance and mechanical strength, and is a key factor leading to the attenuation of service life and even the failure of components. Therefore, accurately detecting the geometric characteristics and microstructure evolution of thermally grown oxides is of great significance for ensuring the service safety of engines and carrying out life prediction and evaluation.

[0003] As a high-spatial-resolution and non-contact three-dimensional imaging technology, optical coherence tomography has shown great potential in material microstructure detection in recent years. However, when standard OCT imaging faces complex multi-scattering media such as thermally grown oxide layers, the signal quality often decreases due to uneven light scattering and polarization perturbation, which further limits its ability to resolve microscopic structure features and the accuracy of thickness changes. In addition, existing OCT detection methods have not combined crystal structure information for physical modeling and life prediction, and it is difficult to meet the accurate evaluation requirements for the evolution behavior of thermally grown oxide layers in the complex service environment of aeroengines.
