Abstract
In some examples, article used as a component for a turbine engine that operates in a high temperature environment. The article may include: a ceramic or ceramic matrix composite (CMC) substrate; and a coating on the ceramic or the CMC substrate, wherein the coating defines an outer surface of the article. The coating includes a plurality of surface features defining channels on the outer surface of the article. The channels are configured to modify a flow of molten Calcia-Magnesia-Alumina Silicate (CMAS) over the outer surface of the coating in a gas flow over the outer surface of the article to reduce accumulation of the molten CMAS on the outer surface of the article.
