A calcium-magnesium-alumino-silicate (CMAS)-reactive thermal barrier coating includes a ceramic coating and a CMAS-reactive overlay coating, wherein the CMAS-reactive overlay coating conforms to a surface of the ceramic coating and comprises a compound that forms a stable high melting point crystalline precipitate when reacted with molten CMAS at a rate that is competitive with CMAS infiltration kinetics into the thermal barrier coating. The ceramic coating phase is stable with the CMAS-reactive overlay coating.

Reactive thermal barrier coating

An environmental barrier coating includes a barrier layer which includes a matrix, diffusive particles, and gettering particles; and a calcium-magnesia alumina-silicate (CMAS)-resistant component. The CMAS-resistant component includes hafnium silicate and a rare earth hafnate. An article and a method of fabricating an article are also disclosed.

Environmental barrier coating

An environmental barrier coating, comprising a substrate containing silicon; an environmental barrier layer applied to said substrate; said environmental barrier layer comprising a rare earth composition.

Environmental barrier coating for enhanced resistance to attack by molten silicate deposits

A coated substrate has a substrate and a coating system having one or more ceramic layers. At least a first layer of one of the one or more ceramic layers is a columnar layer having as-deposited columns and intercolumn gaps. The intercolumn gaps have a mean width at least one of: at least 4.0 micrometers; and at least 1.5% of a thickness of said first layer.

Thermal barrier coating

An article includes a substrate, a ceramic barrier coating, and a layer of networked ceramic nanofibers. The ceramic barrier coating is disposed on the substrate and has a porous columnar microstructure. The layer of networked ceramic nanofibers is disposed on the ceramic barrier layer and seals the pores of the porous columnar microstructure.

In one aspect, a calcium-magnesium alumino-silicate (CMAS)-resistant coating includes an outer coating having a plurality of columnar structures formed during material deposition due to preferential material accumulation and a plurality of generally vertically-oriented gaps separating adjacent columnar structures. The columnar structures include a plurality of randomly-oriented particle splats and a CMAS-reactive material and have a total porosity of less than five percent. The plurality of generally vertically-oriented gaps extend from an outermost surface of the outer coating to a first depth of the outer coating equal to or less than a total thickness of the outer coating. The vertically-oriented gaps have a median gap width of less than five micrometers.

CMAS-resistant thermal barrier coating and method of making a coating thereof

A strain-tolerant coating for use in gas turbine engines can include a plurality of dense, generally vertically-oriented columnar structures formed during deposition by preferential material accumulation, and a plurality of inter-columnar gaps separating the columnar structures. The columnar structures can include a plurality of randomly-oriented particle splats and can have a porosity of less than four percent.
