Honeycomb structure thermal barrier coating

A device adapted for exposure to high temperatures, the device comprising:

• a substrate;
• a support structure attached to the substrate and comprising an open cell volume defining a depth, the support structure comprising a first material comprising a metal defining a first portion of the open cell volume depth and a second material different than the first material and comprising a ceramic defining a second portion of the open cell volume depth;
• and
• a filler material disposed within the open cell volume and in contact with the first material and the second material at respective depths.

• a filler material disposed within the open cell volume and in contact with the first material and the second material at respective depths:
• wherein the support structure comprises a material graded from a first composition in a bottom portion proximate the substrate to a second composition in a top portion opposed the substrate:
• wherein the graded material comprises a metal-ceramic composite material wherein a ceramic content of the composite material is higher in the top portion than in the bottom portion.
