Abstract:
A coating system for a turbine engine component is disclosed. The coating system includes a substrate, an optional bond coat, a synthetic oxide layer and a top coat. The synthetic oxide layer is formed by atomic layer deposition and includes two or more oxides.
Abstract:
A method for atomic layer deposition of high temperature materials from single source precursors includes placing a substrate in a reaction zone in gas isolation from other reaction zones and contacting the substrate in the reaction zone with a reactant to allow atoms in the reactant to combine with reaction sites on the substrate to form a layer of the reactant on the substrate. The substrate is then placed in a purge zone and purged with a flowing inert gas. The substrate is then placed in a final reaction zone in gas isolation from the other zones wherein the final reaction zone has an atmosphere and temperature to decompose adsorbed reactant and/or form desired phases with crystallinity to form a layer of material. The substrate is then placed in a purge zone and the process is repeated until a layer of material of desired thickness is formed on the substrate.
Abstract:
A method of preparing a fiber for use in forming a ceramic matrix composite material comprises the steps of removing an organic sizing from a fiber to provide pyrolyzed remnants on the fiber, and using the pyrolyzed remnants as a reactant to provide an interface coating on the fiber.
Abstract:
