Abstract:
An abradable coating may include a rare earth silicate. The abradable coating may be deposited over a substrate, an environmental barrier coating, or a thermal barrier coating. The abradable coating may be deposited on a gas turbine blade track or a gas turbine blade shroud to form a seal between the gas turbine blade track or gas turbine blade shroud and a gas turbine blade. The abradable coating may also include a plurality of layers, such as alternating first and second layers including, respectively, a rare earth silicate and stabilized zirconia or stabilized hafnia.
Abstract:
A static chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process may be used to deposit a coating including a γ-Ni+γ′-Ni3Al phase constitution over a substrate. A static CVD process is performed in a closed system that may include the substrate, and coating material and an activator. The γ-Ni+γ′-Ni3Al coating may be modified by one or more additional elements, including, for example, Hf, Y, Zr, Ce, La, Si, Cr, Pt, or additional elements present in the substrate. A static CVD process may include co-deposition of two or more elements, and may also include sequential static CVD steps, each of which is performed in a closed system.

Abstract:
A silicon-base ceramic substrate is provided with a mullite coating by flame-spraying heated crystalline mullite powders onto a substrate that is preheated to a temperature in excess of 800.degree. C. The mullite immediately crystallizes as it solidifies.
Abstract:
A coating including a bond layer deposited on a substrate. The bond layer includes a rare earth silicate and a second phase, the second phase including at least one of silicon, silicides, alkali metal oxides, alkali earth metal oxides, glass ceramics, Al2O3, TiO2, Ta2O5, HfO2, ZrO2, HfSiO4, ZrSiO4, HfTiO4, ZrTiO4, or mullite. The coating may provide thermal and/or environmental protection for the substrate, especially when the substrate is a component of a high-temperature mechanical system.
Abstract:
A system may include a blade track or blade shroud and a gas turbine blade that includes a blade tip. The blade track or blade shroud may include a substrate and an abradable layer formed over the substrate. The abradable layer may include at least one of zirconia or hafnia; ytterbia; samaria; and at least one of lutetia, scandia, ceria, gadolinia, neodymia, or europia. The abradable layer may include a porosity between about 25 vol. % and about 50 vol. %. The blade track or blade shroud and the gas turbine blade may be configured so the blade tip contacts a portion of the abradable layer during rotation of the gas turbine blade, and the abradable layer may be configured to be abraded by the contact by the blade tip.
Abstract:
An article may include a substrate comprising a matrix material and a reinforcement material, a layer formed on the substrate, an array of features formed on the layer, and a coating formed on the layer and the array of features. The article may have improved thermal and/or mechanical stress tolerance compared to an article not including the array of features formed on the layer.
Abstract:
A reinforced coating may include an oxide matrix and a reinforcement. In some embodiments, the reinforcement may include at least one of SiC and Si3N4. The reinforced coating may be deposited over a substrate, which may include a superalloy, ceramic or ceramic matrix composite (CMC). The reinforced coating may be deposited over the substrate alone or in combination with one or more additional oxide layers and/or a bond coat. The reinforced coating may be deposited using plasma spraying, physical vapor deposition, cathodic arc deposition, chemical vapor deposition, slurry dip coating, sol-gel coating, electrophoretic deposition, or another suitable deposition process.
