The disclosure relates to a high temperature mechanical system, such as a gas turbine engine, including a first coating deposited on a first substrate and a second coating deposited on a second substrate. The first coating includes a first bond layer, a second bond layer, and a first ceramic outer layer, wherein the second bond layer is between the first bond layer and first ceramic outer layer. The second coating includes a third bond layer deposited on the substrate and a second ceramic outer layer deposited on the third bond layer. The second coating is configured to abrade the first coating, e.g., during operation of the high temperature mechanical system.
