Claim:
1. A coating comprising a first surface and a second surface, comprising: a plurality of growth domains separated by domain boundaries, wherein the plurality of growth domains comprises a comparatively high density of a coating material and the domain boundaries comprise a comparatively low density of the coating material, wherein the plurality of growth domains comprises a substantially equiaxed grain morphology, wherein growth domains of the plurality of growth domains are substantially parallel to one another, wherein an orientation of one or more growth domains of the plurality of growth domains is non-vertical with respect to the first surface of the coating, wherein the one or more non-vertical growth domains form an alignment angle in a range from about 30 degrees to about 75 degrees with respect to the first surface of the coating, wherein at least about 50 percent by volume of the coating comprises the plurality of growth domains, wherein angles of the plurality of growth domains are within 5 degrees of each other, wherein the coating is substantially crack-free with regard to vertical cracks, and wherein the vertical cracks extend from an outermost surface of the coating through entire thickness or partial thickness of the coating.
