| 20100098865 | DURABLE REACTIVE THERMAL BARRIER COATINGS - A turbine engine component is provided which has a substrate and a thermal barrier coating applied over the substrate. The thermal barrier coating comprises at least one layer of a first material selected from the group consisting of a zirconate, a hafnate, a titanate, and mixtures thereof, which first material has been mixed with, and contains, from about 25 to 99 wt % of at least one oxide. The at least one oxide comprises at least one oxide of a material selected from the group consisting of lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, promethium, samarium, europium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium, ytterbium, lutetium, scandium, indium, and yttrium. If desired, a metallic bond coat may be present between the substrate and the thermal barrier coating system. A method for forming the thermal barrier coating system of the present invention is described. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100119718 | Dense protective coatings, methods for their preparation and coated articles - A method for depositing a protective coating on a complex shaped substrate includes the steps of: (1) dipping a complex shaped substrate into a slurry to form a base coat thereon, the slurry comprising an aqueous solution, at least one refractory metal oxide, and at least one transient fluid additive present in an amount of about 0.1 percent to 10 percent by weight of the slurry; (2) curing the dipped substrate; (3) dipping the substrate into a precursor solution to form a top barrier coat thereon; and (4) heat treating the dipped, cured substrate to form a protective coating. | 05-13-2010 |
| 20100136241 | SILICATE RESISTANT THERMAL BARRIER COATING WITH ALTERNATING LAYERS - A thermal barrier coating system for use on a turbine engine component which reduces sand related distress is provided. The coating system comprises at least one first layer of a stabilized material selected from the group consisting of zirconia, hafnia, and titania and at least one second layer containing at least one of oxyapatite and garnet. Where the coating system comprises multiple first layers and multiple second layers, the layers are formed or deposited in an alternating manner. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100196605 | Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia Coating with a Molten Silicate Resistant Outer Layer - A turbine engine component is provided which has a substrate, a yttria-stabilized zirconia coating applied over the substrate, and a molten silicate resistant outer layer. The molten silicate resistant outer layer is formed from gadolinia or gadolinia-stabilized zirconia. A method for forming the coating system of the present invention is described. | 08-05-2010 |
