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.

Abstract: A method includes forming a multi-layered ceramic barrier coating under a chamber pressure of greater than 1 Pascals. In the method, low- and high-dopant ceramic materials are evaporated using input evaporating energies that fall, respectively, above and below a threshold for depositing the materials in a columnar microstructure (low-dopant) and in a branched columnar microstructure (high-dopant).

Abstract: An embodiment of an apparatus includes a deposition chamber, a workpiece fixture including a first workpiece holder, and a first crucible. The workpiece holder is configured to retain a first workpiece in the deposition chamber. The first crucible includes a body including at least one wall defining a non-circular upper recess with a base. A first lower recess is formed below the base of the upper recess and configured to retain a first primary coating feedstock therein.

Abstract: A method includes generating a plasma plume with a plasma gun, delivering a plurality of coating materials to the plasma plume with a powder feeder assembly to vaporize the coating materials. The delivery includes delivering a first (bond coat) material from a first powder feeder to the plasma gun, ceasing delivery of the first material, increasing a rate of delivery of a second (rare earth stabilized zirconia) material from a second powder feeder to the plasma plume, increasing a rate of delivery of a third material (a rare earth stabilized zirconia material different from the second material) from a third powder feeder to the plasma plume, decreasing a rate of delivery of the second material, and decreasing a rate of delivery of the third material, and depositing the plurality of coating materials on a work piece to produce a layered coating with blended transitions between coating layers.

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.
