Abstract
A composition is provided that includes a silicon-containing material (e.g., a silicon metal and/or a silicide) and about 0.001% to about 85% of a Ga-containing compound, an In-containing compound, or a mixture thereof. The silicon-based layer can be a bond coating directly on the surface of the substrate. Alternatively or additionally, the silicon-based layer can be an outer layer defining a surface of the substrate, with an environmental barrier coating on the surface of the substrate. A coated component is also provided, as well as a method for coating a ceramic component. Gas turbine engines are also provided that include such a ceramic component.
Claims20
A composition, comprising:
- a silicon-containing material and about 0.001% to about 85% of a Ga-containing compound, an In-containing compound, or a mixture thereof.
A compound having a formula:
- Ln4-xDxGa2-yInyO9
- where:
- Ln is La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, or a mixture thereof;
- D is La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, or a mixture thereof, where:
- D is not equal to Ln;
- if D is La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, or a mixture thereof, then x is 0 to less than 4;
- if D is Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, or a mixture thereof, then x is 0 to about 2;
- and
- y is 0 to about 1.
A method of coating a ceramic component, the method comprising:
- applying a bond coating directly on a surface of the ceramic component, wherein the bond coating comprises silicon metal and at least one of a Ga-containing compound, an In-containing compound, or a mixture thereof.
