摘要:
Ceramic matrix composite articles include, for example, a plurality of unidirectional arrays of fiber tows in a matrix having a monomodal pore size distribution, and a fiber volume fraction between about 15 percent and about 35 percent. The articles may be formed by, for example, providing a shaped preform comprising a prepreg tape layup of unidirectional arrays of fiber tows, a matrix precursor, and a pore former, curing the shaped preform to pyrolyze the matrix precursor and burnout the pore former so that the shaped preform comprises the unidirectional arrays of fiber tows and a porous matrix having a monomodal pore size distribution, and subjecting the cured shaped preform to chemical vapor infiltration to densify the porous matrix so that the ceramic matrix composite article has a fiber volume fraction between about 15 percent and about 35 percent.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for reducing silica recession of silicon-containing ceramics or silicon-containing ceramic composites, particularly those exposed to a combustion gas or to combustion gas environments, including those exposed to high temperature combustion gas environments. The methods and systems involve silicon-doping of compressed air and/or removal of moisture from compressed air prior to co-mingling the treated compressed air with the combustion gas to which the silicon-containing ceramics or silicon-containing ceramic composites are exposed.

An environmental barrier coating system for a component of a gas turbine includes at least one rare earth disilicate layer and at least one rare earth monosilicate layer. At least one of the at least one rare earth disilicate layer or the at least one rare earth monosilicate layer includes an alkaline earth oxide dopant.

The disclosure relates generally to recession resistant gas turbine engine articles that comprise a silicon containing substrate, and related coatings and methods. The present disclosure is directed, inter alia, to an engine article comprising a silicon substrate which is coated with a chemically stable porous oxide layer. The present disclosure also relates to articles comprising a substrate and a bond coat on top comprising a two phase layer of interconnected silicon and interconnected oxide, followed by a layer of silicon. The present disclosure further relates to a recession resistant article comprising an oxide in a silicon containing substrate, such that components of the silicon containing substrate is interconnected with oxides dispersed in the substrate and form the bulk of the recession resistant silicon containing article.

High-temperature machine components, more particularly, articles capable of operating in high-temperature environments, including for example turbines of gas engines, may be formed of a high temperature ceramic matrix composite that includes a ceramic substrate including silicon; an environmental harrier coating system including a silicon containing bond coat; and a diffusion barrier layer of a carbide or a nitride between the substrate of the article and the silicon bond coat of the environmental barrier coating system. The diffusion harrier layer selectively prevents or reduces the diffusion of boron and impurities from the substrate to the bond coat of the environmental barrier coating system.

A ceramic matrix composite article includes a melt infiltration ceramic matrix composite substrate comprising a ceramic fiber reinforcement material in a ceramic matrix material having a free silicon proportion, and a chemical vapor infiltration ceramic matrix composite outer layer comprising a ceramic fiber reinforcement material in a ceramic matrix material having essentially no free silicon proportion disposed on an outer surface of at least a portion of the substrate.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to ceramic matrix composites made by chemical vapor infiltration, methods of making the ceramic matrix composites, and ceramic matrix composite turbine components for use in a hot gas pathway. A method of fabricating a ceramic matrix composite is provided that can include the steps of: (i) forming a plurality of holes in a ceramic matrix composite preform of desired shape; and (ii) densifying the preform by a chemical vapor infiltration process to form a part or most of the matrix. A ceramic matrix composite is also provided that can be used in hot combustion gases made according to the aforementioned ceramic matrix composite fabrication method described herein.
