The object of the present invention is to produce a metal part equipped with a protection system, particularly for turbine blades for aircraft engines, having a thermal barrier that is improved in terms of thermal properties, adhesion to the part and resistance to oxidation/corrosion. In order to achieve this, the method according to the invention produces in a single step, from specific ceramics, coating layers using SPS technology. According to one embodiment, a metal part is produced according to an SPS flash sintering method and comprises a superalloy substrate (), a metal sub-layer (), a TGO oxide layer () and the thermal barrier () formed by said method from at least two chemically and thermally compatible ceramic layers (). A first ceramic (), referred to as the inner ceramic, is designed to have a substantially higher expansion coefficient. The outer ceramic () is designed to have at least lower thermal conductivity, and a sintering temperature and/or maximum operating temperature that is substantially higher. The thermal barrier () has a composition and porosity gradient () from the metal sub-layer () to the outer ceramic ().

Process for producing a thermal barrier in a multilayer system for protecting a metal part and part equipped with such a protective system

A method for producing a thermal barrier in a multilayered system for protecting a metal part made of superalloy, by producing a thermal treatment by flash sintering protection materials in layers superposed on the metal part in an SPS machine enclosure. The layers contain, on a superalloy substrate, at least two layers of zirconium-based refractory ceramics. A metal part is produced according to a SPS flash sintering method and contains a superalloy substrate, a metal sub-layer, a TGO oxide layer and the thermal barrier formed by the method. A first ceramic is an inner ceramic designed to have a substantially higher expansion coefficient. An outer ceramic is designed to have at least lower thermal conductivity, and at least one of a sintering temperature or maximum operating temperature that is substantially higher. The thermal barrier has a composition and porosity gradient from the metal sub-layer to the outer ceramic.

The invention relates to a part comprising a coating on a superalloy metal substrate, the coating comprising a metal underlayer covering said substrate, the part being characterized in that said metal underlayer contains a base of nickel aluminide and also contains 0.5 at % to 0.95 at % of one or more stabilizer elements M from the group formed by Cu and Ag for stabilizing the gamma and gamma prime phases.
