Abstract: A multilayer coating includes a bond coat layer, a first barrier layer applied on the bond coat layer, and a second barrier layer applied on the first barrier layer. The first barrier layer has a compositional gradient comprising a majority of a first rare earth stabilized zirconia material proximate the bond coat layer to a majority of a second rare earth stabilized zirconia material away from the bond coat layer. The first and second rare earth stabilized zirconia materials are different. The second barrier layer has a compositional gradient comprising a majority of the second rare earth stabilized zirconia material to 100 wt % of a third rare earth stabilized zirconia material away from the first barrier layer.

Abstract: An environmental sampling system includes a passage in an aircraft component and a removable collector disposed in the passage. The passage has an inlet at a first region and an outlet at a second region. When the aircraft component is in operation the first region is at a greater pressure than the second region such that air flows through the passage from the inlet to the outlet. The removable collector is configured to retain constituents from the air and to react with the media designed to mimic corrosion effects seen at higher temperatures on engine parts. The constituents can then be characterized and correlated to engine deterioration to predict maintenance activity.

Abstract: A method for joining engine components includes positioning a first plurality of thermal protection structures across a thermal protection space between a first thermal protection surface and a second thermal protection surface. The first and second engine components are locally joined by forming a first plurality of transient liquid phase (TLP) or partial transient liquid phase (PTLP) bonds along corresponding ones of the first plurality of thermal protection structures between the first thermal protection surface and the second thermal protection surface. The second thermal protection surface is formed from a second surface material different from a first surface material of the first thermal protection surface.

Abstract: An embodiment of a method includes retaining a first workpiece and a second workpiece selectively on a workpiece fixture disposed within a deposition chamber. The workpiece fixture includes tooling including a first workpiece holder, a second workpiece holder, and a first hollow wall. The first workpiece is separated from the second workpiece using the first hollow wall. Energy is selectively applied and directed within the deposition chamber, from an energy source toward a first crucible, the first crucible including a plurality of walls defining an upper recess contiguous with, and disposed directly above a first lower recess, at least the upper recess open to an interior of the deposition chamber. During the step of selectively applying and directing energy, a gas valve is controlled to maintain a partial vacuum in the deposition chamber of greater than 2 Pa to control a size and overlap of at least one coating zone formed around each of the at least one workpiece.
