摘要:
Disclosed herein is a system including a motor comprising a rotor, a stator and a sealing assembly having at least one joint and a monolithic ceramic separator. Each joint of the sealing assembly is a chemical bond joint, and the monolithic ceramic separator is disposed in a gap between the rotor and the stator of the motor such that the sealing assembly hermetically isolates the rotor and the stator.

摘要:
A method for providing a substantially-smooth protective coating on a metal-based substrate is disclosed. It comprises the steps of: (a) applying a thermal barrier coating over the substrate by plasma-spraying; (b) plasma-heating the applied coating according to a time- and temperature schedule sufficient to re-melt the surface region of the coating, allowing it to flow and smoothen; and then (c) cooling the surface region to a temperature below its melting point. The thermal barrier coating is often zirconia-based, e.g., yttria-stabilized zirconia. After being cooled, the surface is much smoother than when originally applied, thereby allowing the coating to be used in a higher-temperature environment.
摘要:
A composite that protects thermal barrier coatings from the deleterious effects of environmental contaminants at operational temperatures is discovered. The thermal barrier coated parts have least two outer protective coatings that decrease infiltration of molten contaminant eutectic mixtures into openings in the thermal barrier coating.

摘要:
A method is provided for protecting thermal barrier coatings deposited on parts from the deleterious effects of environmental contaminants at operating temperatures. The method uses an impermeable barrier coating with the thermal barrier coating, where the impermeable barrier coating prevents environmental contaminants and resulting contaminant compositions from infiltrating openings in thermal barrier coatings during service at operating temperatures.

摘要:
A method for protecting thermal barrier coatings deposited on engine parts from the deleterious effects of environmental contaminants at high temperatures is given. The method uses a sacrificially consumed oxide coating with the thermal barrier coating, where the consumption of the oxide coating increases the melting temperature of a contaminant composition above the surface temperature of the thermal barrier coating, or increases the viscosity of the contaminant composition to prevent its infiltration into the thermal barrier coating.
