Abstract
A barrier coating system may include a super alloy or ceramic matrix composite (CMC) substrate underneath a bond coat. The barrier coating system may also include a calcium-magnesium aluminosilicate (CMAS) resistant coating configured to protect metallic, or oxide-based or silicon based components in a harsh CMAS environment.
Claims21
An apparatus, comprising:
- a substrate, wherein the substrate is made of a material selected from the group consisting of a nickel-based superalloy, a ceramic oxide, a silicon-based material, and a silicon carbide composite;
- a bond coat layer disposed on the substrate;
- and
- a coating layer disposed on the bond coat layer, wherein the coating layer comprises:
- a base oxide of hafnia, zirconia, or a combination thereof;
- and
- a plurality of rare earth dopants, wherein the rare earth dopants comprise from 5 to 20 mol % of the coating layer, wherein the plurality of rare earth dopants comprise:
- a primary stabilizer dopant;
- a first cluster dopant oxide having a larger ionic size than the primary stabilizer dopant;
- a second cluster dopant oxide having a smaller ionic size than the primary stabilizer dopant;
- and
- a calcium oxide dopant, wherein the calcium oxide dopant comprises from 1 mol % to 10 mol % of the coating layer.
