摘要:
An article (200) for use in aggressive environments is presented. In one embodiment, the article (200) comprises a substrate (202) and a self-sealing and substantially hermetic sealing layer (210) disposed over a bondcoat (204). The substrate (202) may be any high-temperature material, including, for instance, silicon-bearing ceramics and ceramic matrix composites. A method for making such an article is also presented. The method comprises providing a substrate (202); disposing a self-sealing layer (210) over the substrate (202); and heating the sealing layer (210) to a sealing temperature at which at least a portion of the sealing layer (210) will flow.
摘要:
A coating for a silicon based material such as those used in high temperature environments. An aspect of the invention is directed to an environmental barrier coating including a silicon bond coat (120), an intermediate coat (130), and a top coat (140). The intermediate coat may comprise tantalum aluminate, niobium aluminate, or a mixture of the two. The intermediate coat is resistant to solid-state subsurface reactions with the bond coat and the top coat and is substantially inert to reactions with silica at high temperatures.

摘要:
An article (100) comprising a substrate (105) and a plurality (110) of coating units (115, 120, 125) disposed over the substrate (105) is provided. Each coating unit (115, 120, 125) comprises an oxygen-getter layer (116) and a barrier layer (117). Embodiments of the present invention introduce redundancy to enhance the robustness of a coating system. Multiple protective coating units are disposed over a substrate (105) so that failure of one of the coating units will be far less likely to subject the substrate (105) to direct risk of exposure to the environment. Failure of an outer coating unit (115, 120, 125) merely exposes a pristine protective coating unit (115, 120, 125), rather than the substrate (105) or a less protective coating layer. In this way, embodiments of the present invention drastically reduce reliance on the performance of one particular coating layer, promoting a more robust and reliable system.
摘要:
A coating for silicon based materials such as those used in high temperature, aqueous environments. An aspect of the invention is directed to an article including a silicon based substrate, a bond coat comprising silicon, and a barrier coat. The barrier coat includes an aluminate such as an alkaline earth metal aluminate or a rare earth aluminate. The barrier coat may be an intermediate coat between the bond coat and a top coat, or it may be the top coat.
