Abstract:
A process for coating a part comprises the steps of providing a chamber (12) which is electrically connected as an anode, placing the part (16) to be coated in the chamber, providing a cathode (22) formed from a coating material to be deposited and platinum, and applying a current to the anode and the cathode to deposit the coating material and the platinum on the part.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for forming thermally grown alpha alumina oxide scale on a substrate (14) is provided. The method includes the steps of: a) providing a heating chamber (16) having a heat source (32) and an oxidizing gas source (36) selectively operable to provide a stream of oxidizing gas; b) providing at least one substrate (14) disposed in the heating chamber (16), which substrate (14) has a composition sufficient to permit formation of an alpha alumina scale on one or more surfaces; c) maintaining a vacuum in the heating chamber (16) at a level that inhibits formation of one or more low temperature oxides on the one or more surfaces of the substrate; d) heating at least one of the one or more surfaces (12) of the substrate (14) to a predetermined temperature at or above 1800 degrees Fahrenheit; and e) directing the stream of oxidizing gas at a controlled rate toward one or more heated surfaces (12) of the substrate (14).
Abstract:
An article (20) includes a metallic substrate (24) and a tri-layer thermal barrier coating (22) that is deposited on the metallic substrate. The tri-layer thermal barrier coating includes an inner ceramic layer (28), an outermost ceramic layer (30) relative to the metallic substrate, and an intermediate ceramic layer (32) between the inner ceramic layer and the outermost ceramic layer. The inner ceramic layer (28) and the outermost ceramic layer (30) are composed of respective first and second ceramic materials and the intermediate ceramic layers (32) composed of a third, different ceramic material. The inner ceramic layer has a first thickness (28a), the outermost ceramic layer has a second thickness (30a), and the intermediate ceramic layer has a third thickness (32a) that is greater than the first thickness and the second thickness.

Abstract:
A turbine component has a substrate formed from a ceramic material selected from the group consisting of a monolithic ceramic material and a composite ceramic material and a thermal barrier coating bonded to the substrate. In one embodiment, the ceramic material forming the substrate is selected from the group of silicon nitride and self-reinforced silicon nitride. In another embodiment, the ceramic material forming the substrate is selected from the group consisting of a silicon carbide-silicon carbide material and a carbon-carbon material. At least one bond coat layer may be interposed between the substrate and the thermal barrier coating.
