Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a thermal barrier coating having alternating layers of yttria stabilized zirconia and fused silicate resistant layers applicable to turbine engine components, a method of forming the coating and a Turbine engine components having the coating. Background technique
[0002] Aging of turbine blades due to sand-related damage to thermal barrier coatings is a very important issue for all turbine engines used in desert environments. This type of damage requires removal of a running engine for overhaul.
[0003] Grit-related damage is caused by quicksand deposits penetrating the thermal barrier coating, which will cause any exposed metal to flake off and accelerate oxidation. Contents of the invention
[0004] According to the present invention, a coating system is provided that reduces grit-related damage on turbine engine components. The coating system broadly includes alternating layers of yttria stabilized zirconia an...
