摘要:
An apparatus for depositing a ceramic coating on a component. The apparatus includes an evaporation source containing multiple different oxide compounds, at least one of the oxide compounds having a vapor pressure that is higher than the remaining oxide compounds, to deposit on the component a coating of the multiple oxide compounds. The apparatus further includes a device for introducing the evaporation source into a coating chamber, a device for suspending the component near the evaporation source, a device for projecting a high-energy beam on the evaporation source to melt and form a vapor cloud of the oxide compounds of the evaporation source, a device capable of preventing the vapor cloud from contacting and condensing on the component, and a device for moving the preventing device to allow the vapor cloud to contact and condense on the component.

Process includes providing a silicide-containing bond coat layer overlying a silicon-containing substrate, optionally forming a silica scale layer adjacent to and overlying the bond coat layer by preoxidizing the bond coat layer, and providing an environmental barrier coating overlying the bond coat layer. The environmental barrier coating includes a corrosion resistant outer layer formed by reacting a metal source with the silica scale layer, if present, or with the silicide-containing substrate in the absence of the silica scale layer. The process may include providing a thermal barrier coating overlying the corrosion resistant outer layer. The silicon-containing substrate may include at least a portion of a gas turbine engine component selected from a turbine blade, vane, and blisk.
摘要:
A protective coating for use on a silicon-containing substrate, and deposition methods therefor. The coating has a barium-strontium-aluminosilicate (BSAS) composition that is less susceptible to degradation by volatilization and in corrosive environments as a result of having at least an outer surface region that consists essentially of one or more stoichiometric crystalline phases of BSAS and is substantially free of a nonstoichiometric second crystalline phase of BSAS that contains a substoichiometric amount of silica. The coating can be produced by carrying out deposition and heat treatment steps that result in the entire coating or just the outer surface region of the coating consisting essentially of the stoichiometric celsian phase.
