    摘要: A thermal barrier coating adapted to be formed on an article subjected to a hostile thermal environment while subjected to erosion by particles and debris, as is the case with turbine, combustor and augmentor components of a gas turbine engine. The thermal barrier coating is composed of a metallic bond layer deposited on the surface of the article, a ceramic layer overlaying the bond layer, and an erosion-resistant composition dispersed within or overlaying the ceramic layer. The bond layer serves to tenaciously adhere the thermal insulating ceramic layer to the article, while the erosion-resistant composition renders the ceramic layer more resistant to erosion. The erosion-resistant composition is either alumina (Al.sub.2 O.sub.3) or silicon carbide (SiC), while a preferred ceramic layer is yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) deposited by a physical vapor deposition technique to have a columnar grain structure.

    摘要: A method for preventing clouding of a lens employed in a high-temperature oxidizing environment, an example of which is a lens of a pyrometer used to sense exhaust gas temperature (EGT) of a gas turbine engine. Clouding is prevented by inhibiting the generation of volatile oxide species that react with high-temperature lens materials, forming deposits including oxides of chromium, molybdenum and other elements having volatile oxide species. The method is particularly directed to a pyrometer whose lens is formed of sapphire (alumina) or silica, and is mounted within a structure formed of a material containing chromium and/or molybdenum, such as a superalloy or stainless steel. The method entails forming an alumina scale-forming barrier coating such as a diffusion aluminide on surfaces of the structure that are subject to oxidation and high temperatures. According to the invention, the alumina scale formed by the barrier coating inhibits the generation of other oxides at the coated surfaces, which would otherwise form volatile oxides that react with and form deposit on the lens. By inhibiting the formation of oxides other than alumina on surfaces surrounding the lens, lens clouding caused from volatile oxides is avoided. As a result, the optical performance of the lens is not degraded, and the precision of a pyrometer employing the lens to sense temperatures is maintained during operation of the engine.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for forming a multilayer thermal barrier coating such that the coating is composed of substantially homogeneous layers of different ceramic materials. The method entails supporting an article within a coating apparatus and in proximity to ceramic ingots of the different ceramic materials, and then simultaneously directing electron beams at both ingots so as to maintain a portion of each ingot in a molten state. According to a particular aspect of this invention, vapors of both ceramic materials coexist within the coating apparatus, yet each ceramic material is sequentially deposited onto the article by sequentially interrupting exposure of surfaces of the article to the vapors, such that the vapors form homogeneous successive layers on the surface. Exposure of the article to one or more of the vapors can be interrupted with a baffle, such that the vapor of only one of the ceramic ingots is directly deposited on a given surface of the article at any instant. The baffle can be employed in conjunction with the article being rotated at a constant or variable speed, and/or being translated above the members within the vessel to alter the relative thicknesses of the ceramic and an intermediate layer that is formed between adjacent layers and is composed of a mixture of the ceramic materials.

    摘要: A method of repairing a thermal barrier coating on a component designed for use in a hostile thermal environment, such as turbine, combustor and augmentor components of a gas turbine engine. The method is particularly suited for completely removing a thermal insulating ceramic layer of thermal barrier coating system that includes a metallic bond coat, such as a diffusion aluminide or MCrAlY coating, between the surface of the component and the ceramic layer, while leaving the bond coat substantially undamaged. Furthermore, the method of this invention includes a technique by which ceramic material within cooling holes in the component can be removed without damaging the underlying bond coat. The process steps generally include removing the ceramic layer from the surface of the component by subjecting the ceramic layer to a caustic solution at an elevated temperature and pressure, and then removing ceramic material from the cooling hole by carefully directing a high-velocity fluid stream into the cooling hole. According to this invention, the high-velocity fluid stream is able to overcome the compressive stresses that otherwise anchor the ceramic in the cooling hole, yet does not remove or damage the bond coat underlying the ceramic.

    摘要: A method for removing an environmental coating on an article intended for use in a hostile environment, such as turbine, combustor and augmentor components of a gas turbine engine. The method is particularly suited for the repair of diffusion aluminide coatings covered by a protective oxide scale, which may further include a thermal insulating ceramic outer layer. Processing steps generally include peening the environmental coating at a temperature below the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature of the diffusion coating, such that cracks are formed in the diffusion coating. Thereafter, the diffusion coating is subjected to an acidic solution that penetrates the cracks and interacts with the coating diffusion zone, resulting in the diffusion coating being chemically stripped from its underlying substrate.
