Abstract:
A bond layer may be applied to the substrate of an article and a first layer may be applied to the bond layer by thermal spray. A second layer may be applied above the first layer by slurry coating.
Abstract:
Processes for fabricating ceramic membranes include providing a porous substrate having at least one inner channel extending therethrough and having surfaces defined by porous walls, depositing a coating slurry on surfaces of the inner channel(s), and sintering. Sintering temperatures for the processes range from about 400 °C to 800 °C. Coating slurries for use in the processes include a boehmite sol and a colloidal suspension of porous alumina particles.
Abstract:
Methods for forming a sintered bond coat (64) on a silicon-based substrate (14) and articles (50) formed by the methods are disclosed. The methods include applying a bond coat slurry on the silicon-based substrate (14), drying the bond coat slurry on the silicon-based substrate to form a dried bond coat (44), and sintering the dried bond coat (44) in an oxidizing atmosphere to form a sintered bond coat (64) on the silicon-based substrate (14). The bond coat slurry includes a bond coat patching material in a bond coat fluid carrier. The articles (50) include a silicon-based substrate (14), a sintered bond coat (64) formed on the silicon-based substrate (14), and a sintered environmental barrier coating (EBC) (66) formed on the sintered bond coat (64). The sintered bond coat (64) includes a silicon-based phase and an oxide of the silicon-based phase.
