Definitions
- the present disclosure generally relates to coatings for gas turbine engine applications and methods for fabricating such coatings.
- Turbine engines are used as the primary power source for various kinds of aircraft and other vehicles.
- the engines may also serve as auxiliary power sources that drive air compressors, hydraulic pumps, and industrial electrical power generators.
- Most turbine engines generally follow the same basic power generation procedure. Compressed air is mixed with fuel and burned, and the expanding hot combustion gases are directed against stationary turbine vanes in the engine. The vanes turn the high velocity gas flow partially sideways to impinge onto turbine blades mounted on a rotatable turbine disk. The force of the impinging gas causes the turbine disk to spin at high speed.
- Jet propulsion engines use the power created by the rotating turbine disk to draw more air into the engine, and the high velocity combustion gas is passed out of the gas turbine aft end to create forward thrust. Other engines use this power to turn one or more propellers, electrical generators, or other devices.
- turbine engine blades and vanes are typically fabricated from high-temperature materials such as nickel-based superalloys.
- nickel-based superalloys have good high-temperature properties and many other advantages, they may be susceptible to corrosion, oxidation, thermal fatigue, and/or foreign particle impact when exposed to harsh working environments during turbine engine operation.
- diverse coatings and coating methods have been developed to increase the operating temperature limits and service lives of the high pressure turbine components, including the turbine blade and vane airfoils.
- CMAS calcia-magnesia-alumina-silicate
- thermal barrier coatings rely on spatially configured voids to achieve strain tolerance with the superalloy substrate, those regions penetrated by the CMAS can be detrimental, causing the thermal barrier coating to be susceptible to extensive spallation when subjected to subsequent thermal cycles. This loss of strain compliance may lead to early spallation. In another degradation mechanism, the CMAS deposit may react with the ceramic coating material. The solid crystalline reaction product might also lead to loss of strain compliance. Thermal barrier coating spallation can lead to a drastic reduction in the turbine engine component durability and to a direct attack on the underlying (superalloy) substrate.
- an exemplary method of manufacturing a turbine engine component includes providing a substrate in the form of the turbine engine component and forming a bond coating on and over the substrate. The method further includes forming a thermal barrier coating or an environmental barrier coating on and over the bond coating and forming a magnetoplumbite structure ceramic top coating on an over the thermal barrier coating or the environmental barrier coating.
- an exemplary turbine engine component includes a substrate in the form of the turbine engine component, a bond coating on and over the substrate, a thermal barrier coating or an environmental barrier coating on and over the bond coating, and a magnetoplumbite structure ceramic top coating on an over the thermal barrier coating or the environmental barrier coating.
- an exemplary method of operating a turbine engine includes a component including a substrate in the form of the turbine engine component, a bond coating on and over the substrate, a thermal barrier coating or an environmental barrier coating on and over the bond coating, and a magnetoplumbite structure ceramic top coating on an over the thermal barrier coating or the environmental barrier coating.
- the method includes exposing the turbine engine to a calcium-alumino-silicate (CMAS) deposit at a temperature sufficient such that at least a portion of the CMAS material is molten or becomes molten and adheres to the ceramic top coating or infiltrates into the ceramic top coating of the turbine engine component.
- CMAS calcium-alumino-silicate
- FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of a gas turbine blade upon which an exemplary embodiment of a protective coating system of the present disclosure may be disposed;
- FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a protective coating system in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure
- FIGS. 3-5 are cross-sectional views of a protective coating system, such as the protective coating system of FIG. 2 , illustrating its resistance of the coating system to spallation by deposited CMAS;
- FIG. 6 is a flowchart of a method for fabricating a protective coating system, such as the protective coating system of FIG. 2 , in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.
- FIG. 7 is a flowchart of a method of operation of a turbine engine component using a protective coating system, such as the protective coating system of FIG. 2 , in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.
- the present disclosure includes a protective coating system for a variety of substrates, including gas turbine and aero-engine components.
- gas turbine engines that operate in environments with airborne particles such as sand and volcanic ash are prone to the accumulation of siliceous deposits in the hot sections.
- CMAS calcia
- Al 2 O 3 alumina
- MgO magnesia
- SiO 2 silica
- TBC's are typically applied to the metallic surfaces of combustors, heat shields, turbine shrouds, and turbine blades. During operation, TBC surfaces are often exposed to hot gases at temperatures above about 2200° F., for example. At these high temperatures, portions of CMAS melt/wick into the pores or vertical cracks (for plasma-sprayed) or intercolumnar gaps (for electron beam vapor phase deposited) of the TBC (or EBC). The depth of penetration is dependent on many factors, including time, melt viscosity, and the temperature gradient in the TBC (or EBC). Reactions between the melt and the coating may also occur.
- the CMAS freezes in the open porosity of the TBC/EBC. This is particularly detrimental since these cracks and pores provide the TBC/EBC with strain compliance to relieve the stresses that results from the coefficient of thermal mismatch between the coating and the substrate.
- the CMAS inhibits this property so that the TBC/EBC cracks to relieve the stresses that build up over multiple cycles. This process continues through engine startup and shutdown cycles until the TBC/EBC spalls.
- Creating a CMAS resistant coating is complicated by the fact that sand has no universal composition. Though calcia, magnesia, alumina, and silica are major components, there may also be oxides of titanium, iron, potassium, and sodium.
- the present disclosure provides a ceramic material with a layered crystal structure that may serve as a CMAS mitigation strategy to protect the underlying TBC and/or EBC.
- This ceramic topcoat may serve to not only arrest CMAS infiltration/penetration of the TBC and/or EBC, but may also act as a sacrificial topcoat that gradually cleaves away with continued CMAS deposition and/or reaction.
- ⁇ -alumina magnetoplumbite structured materials possess a particularly attractive crystal structure that lends itself to cleavage much like mica.
- Magentoplumbites are composed of layered spinel blocks nominally of the composition [X 11 O 16+ ], where X is a cation, stabilized by cations and oxygen anions in mirror planes between spinel layers.
- some magnetoplumbite structures may be represented as M + O[X 11 O 16 ] or M 3+ O 2 [X 11 O 16 ] where the portion in brackets is the spinel block and the portion outside the brackets represents the interspinel constituents.
- An attractive aspect of this structure is that although the spinel block remains constant, the number of atoms that may be located in the interspinel layer may vary.
- the number and combination of atoms that can fit in the interspinel layer may be adjusted until the close-packed structure of M 2+ XO 3 [X 11 O 16 ] is achieved.
- the M 2+ ion is coordinated and in a nearly close-packed oxygen lattice.
- Mechanisms of charge balance are possible in either the interspinel layer, between the interspinel layer and spinel block, or in the spinel block itself
- the M 2+ ion can be substituted with a trivalent ion of about the same size, or there may be mixed occupancy of the site.
- the magnetoplumbite structure is stable for a large number of compositions and stoichiometries, for the purposes of this disclosure only those materials that are stable at elevated temperatures are considered.
- magnetoplumbites and beta-alumina-type oxides are such hexaaluminates that are stable at elevated temperatures, and as such are suitable for use as the topcoat of the present disclosure. They possess a variety of attractive characteristics that make them suitable as a CMAS-mitigation topcoat, including, for example: 1) a high aspect ratio crystalline phase that resists high temperature densification; 2) a crystal structure composed of easily cleavable crystallographic planes; 3) the ability to accommodate a wide variety of cations without disrupting the crystal structure; and 4) large fracture energy anisotropy between the planes parallel and normal to the basal planes that can impart toughness that other state-of-the-art CMAS resistant coatings lack in practical use (e.g. gadolinium zirconate and delta phase zirconia).
- Embodiments of the present disclosure are set forth in greater detail below with reference to the Figures.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a superalloy blade 150 that is exemplary of the types of components or substrates that are used in turbine engines, although turbine blades commonly have different shapes, dimensions and sizes depending on gas turbine engine models and applications.

Abstract
Description
- The present disclosure generally relates to coatings for gas turbine engine applications and methods for fabricating such coatings.
- Turbine engines are used as the primary power source for various kinds of aircraft and other vehicles. The engines may also serve as auxiliary power sources that drive air compressors, hydraulic pumps, and industrial electrical power generators. Most turbine engines generally follow the same basic power generation procedure. Compressed air is mixed with fuel and burned, and the expanding hot combustion gases are directed against stationary turbine vanes in the engine. The vanes turn the high velocity gas flow partially sideways to impinge onto turbine blades mounted on a rotatable turbine disk. The force of the impinging gas causes the turbine disk to spin at high speed. Jet propulsion engines use the power created by the rotating turbine disk to draw more air into the engine, and the high velocity combustion gas is passed out of the gas turbine aft end to create forward thrust. Other engines use this power to turn one or more propellers, electrical generators, or other devices.
- Because fuel efficiency increases as engine operating temperatures increase, turbine engine blades and vanes are typically fabricated from high-temperature materials such as nickel-based superalloys. However, although nickel-based superalloys have good high-temperature properties and many other advantages, they may be susceptible to corrosion, oxidation, thermal fatigue, and/or foreign particle impact when exposed to harsh working environments during turbine engine operation. As a result, diverse coatings and coating methods have been developed to increase the operating temperature limits and service lives of the high pressure turbine components, including the turbine blade and vane airfoils.
- The durability and the maximum temperature capability of a coating system used in gas turbine engines are often limited by deposits of partially or fully molten sand, often referred to as calcia-magnesia-alumina-silicate (CMAS) for the major oxide constituents. CMAS deposits may degrade ceramic coatings by several mechanisms. In one example related superalloy components that are coated with ceramic thermal barrier coatings, CMAS may deposit on top of the ceramic coatings. The first CMAS phase to melt, known as the incipient melt, may then infiltrate the coating porosity and be drawn through the coating thickness via capillary forces. Upon engine cooldown this infiltrant will freeze and form a high modulus phase. Since the thermal barrier coatings rely on spatially configured voids to achieve strain tolerance with the superalloy substrate, those regions penetrated by the CMAS can be detrimental, causing the thermal barrier coating to be susceptible to extensive spallation when subjected to subsequent thermal cycles. This loss of strain compliance may lead to early spallation. In another degradation mechanism, the CMAS deposit may react with the ceramic coating material. The solid crystalline reaction product might also lead to loss of strain compliance. Thermal barrier coating spallation can lead to a drastic reduction in the turbine engine component durability and to a direct attack on the underlying (superalloy) substrate.
- Accordingly, it is desirable to provide protective coating systems for gas turbine engine applications that exhibit long life and high reliability. It also is desirable to provide protective coating systems that minimize or eliminate spalling due to CMAS deposits. It is further desirable to provide methods for fabricating such protective coating systems. Furthermore, other desirable features and characteristics of the present invention will become apparent from the subsequent detailed description of the invention and the appended claims, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and this background of the invention.
- The present disclosure generally relates to coatings for gas turbine engine applications and methods for fabricating such coatings. In one embodiment, an exemplary method of manufacturing a turbine engine component includes providing a substrate in the form of the turbine engine component and forming a bond coating on and over the substrate. The method further includes forming a thermal barrier coating or an environmental barrier coating on and over the bond coating and forming a magnetoplumbite structure ceramic top coating on an over the thermal barrier coating or the environmental barrier coating.
- In another embodiment, an exemplary turbine engine component includes a substrate in the form of the turbine engine component, a bond coating on and over the substrate, a thermal barrier coating or an environmental barrier coating on and over the bond coating, and a magnetoplumbite structure ceramic top coating on an over the thermal barrier coating or the environmental barrier coating.
- In yet another embodiment, an exemplary method of operating a turbine engine is provided. The turbine engine used in this method includes a component including a substrate in the form of the turbine engine component, a bond coating on and over the substrate, a thermal barrier coating or an environmental barrier coating on and over the bond coating, and a magnetoplumbite structure ceramic top coating on an over the thermal barrier coating or the environmental barrier coating. The method includes exposing the turbine engine to a calcium-alumino-silicate (CMAS) deposit at a temperature sufficient such that at least a portion of the CMAS material is molten or becomes molten and adheres to the ceramic top coating or infiltrates into the ceramic top coating of the turbine engine component.
- This summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the detailed description.

Furthermore, there is no intention to be bound by any theory presented in the preceding background of the invention or the following detailed description of the invention.
- The present disclosure includes a protective coating system for a variety of substrates, including gas turbine and aero-engine components. As is generally appreciated in the art, gas turbine engines that operate in environments with airborne particles such as sand and volcanic ash are prone to the accumulation of siliceous deposits in the hot sections. When these adherent particles become molten or partially molten they are referred to as “CMAS” for the predominant phases of calcia (CaO), alumina (Al2O3), magnesia (MgO), and silica (SiO2). CMAS is benign for most uncoated metallic-based components, however, it is generally a life-limiting factor for thermal barrier coatings (TBC) and environmental barrier coatings (EBC). TBC's are typically applied to the metallic surfaces of combustors, heat shields, turbine shrouds, and turbine blades. During operation, TBC surfaces are often exposed to hot gases at temperatures above about 2200° F., for example. At these high temperatures, portions of CMAS melt/wick into the pores or vertical cracks (for plasma-sprayed) or intercolumnar gaps (for electron beam vapor phase deposited) of the TBC (or EBC). The depth of penetration is dependent on many factors, including time, melt viscosity, and the temperature gradient in the TBC (or EBC). Reactions between the melt and the coating may also occur.
- Upon cool-down during engine shutoff (i.e., to a temperature below the above-noted melting temperature), the CMAS freezes in the open porosity of the TBC/EBC. This is particularly detrimental since these cracks and pores provide the TBC/EBC with strain compliance to relieve the stresses that results from the coefficient of thermal mismatch between the coating and the substrate. The CMAS inhibits this property so that the TBC/EBC cracks to relieve the stresses that build up over multiple cycles. This process continues through engine startup and shutdown cycles until the TBC/EBC spalls. Creating a CMAS resistant coating is complicated by the fact that sand has no universal composition. Though calcia, magnesia, alumina, and silica are major components, there may also be oxides of titanium, iron, potassium, and sodium.
- The present disclosure provides a ceramic material with a layered crystal structure that may serve as a CMAS mitigation strategy to protect the underlying TBC and/or EBC. This ceramic topcoat may serve to not only arrest CMAS infiltration/penetration of the TBC and/or EBC, but may also act as a sacrificial topcoat that gradually cleaves away with continued CMAS deposition and/or reaction. For use as this sacrificial topcoat, β-alumina magnetoplumbite structured materials possess a particularly attractive crystal structure that lends itself to cleavage much like mica. Magentoplumbites are composed of layered spinel blocks nominally of the composition [X11O16+], where X is a cation, stabilized by cations and oxygen anions in mirror planes between spinel layers. To illustrate the latter, some magnetoplumbite structures may be represented as M+O[X11O16] or M3+O2[X11O16] where the portion in brackets is the spinel block and the portion outside the brackets represents the interspinel constituents. An attractive aspect of this structure is that although the spinel block remains constant, the number of atoms that may be located in the interspinel layer may vary. The number and combination of atoms that can fit in the interspinel layer may be adjusted until the close-packed structure of M2+XO3[X11O16] is achieved. In this case, the M2+ ion is coordinated and in a nearly close-packed oxygen lattice. Mechanisms of charge balance are possible in either the interspinel layer, between the interspinel layer and spinel block, or in the spinel block itself For example, in magnetoplumbite compounds of the form M2+X12O19, the M2+ ion can be substituted with a trivalent ion of about the same size, or there may be mixed occupancy of the site. Though the magnetoplumbite structure is stable for a large number of compositions and stoichiometries, for the purposes of this disclosure only those materials that are stable at elevated temperatures are considered.
- For example, magnetoplumbites and beta-alumina-type oxides are such hexaaluminates that are stable at elevated temperatures, and as such are suitable for use as the topcoat of the present disclosure. They possess a variety of attractive characteristics that make them suitable as a CMAS-mitigation topcoat, including, for example: 1) a high aspect ratio crystalline phase that resists high temperature densification; 2) a crystal structure composed of easily cleavable crystallographic planes; 3) the ability to accommodate a wide variety of cations without disrupting the crystal structure; and 4) large fracture energy anisotropy between the planes parallel and normal to the basal planes that can impart toughness that other state-of-the-art CMAS resistant coatings lack in practical use (e.g. gadolinium zirconate and delta phase zirconia). Embodiments of the present disclosure are set forth in greater detail below with reference to the Figures.

FIG. 1 illustrates asuperalloy blade 150 that is exemplary of the types of components or substrates that are used in turbine engines, although turbine blades commonly have different shapes, dimensions and sizes depending on gas turbine engine models and applications. However, this invention is not restricted to such substrates and may be utilized on many other substrates requiring thermal barrier protection, including other components of gas turbine engines exposed to high temperature gases. Nickel-based superalloys are one class of materials that are for use in manufacturing turbine engine blades, and other classes of materials including cobalt-based superalloys, titanium-based superalloys, nickel aluminides including NiAl, alumina fiber/alumina silicate matrix composites, silicon carbide fiber/silicon carbide matrix composites, alumina fiber/refractory metal matrix composites, alumina fiber/MCrAlY matrix composites, refractory metal fiber/MCrAlY matrix composites, alumina fiber/NiAl matrix composites, silicon carbide fiber/gamma TiAl matrix composites, refractory metal fiber/NiAl matrix composites, carbon fiber/carbon matrix composites, alumina fiber/TiAl alloy matrix composites, silicon carbide fiber/alumna matrix composites, silicon carbide fiber/silicon nitride matrix composites and other materials systems are suitable as well. In a particular embodiment, the substrate blade is formed of a superalloy, a ceramic, or a ceramic matrix composite material. The illustratedblade 150 has anairfoil portion 152 including apressure surface 153, an attachment orroot portion 154, aleading edge 158 including ablade tip 155, and aplatform 156. Theblade 150 may be formed with a non-illustrated outer shroud attached to thetip 155. Theblade 150 may have non-illustrated internal air-cooling passages that remove heat from the turbine airfoil. After the internal air has absorbed heat from the superalloy, the air is discharged into a combustion gas flow path throughpassages 159 in the airfoil wall. -
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of asubstrate 10 upon which is disposed aprotective coating system 12 in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Thesubstrate 10 may be, for example, a turbine blade such asturbine blade 150 ofFIG. 1 . Theprotective coating system 12 overlies thesubstrate 10 and any intermediate layers, and is formed of a bond coating 14, a thermal and/orenvironmental barrier coating 18, and atop coat 22 formed of a layered crystallographic structure magnetoplumbite ceramic, as initially noted above. In one exemplary embodiment, the bond coating 14 is a simple diffusion aluminide. In another embodiment, the bond coating 14 is a more complex diffusion aluminide that includes another layer such as another metal layer. In one embodiment, the other metal layer is a platinum layer. In another exemplary embodiment, the bond coating 14 is an overlay coating known as an MCrAlX coating, wherein M is cobalt, iron, and/or nickel, or an oxidation resistant intermetallic, such as diffusion aluminide, platinum aluminide, or an active element-modified aluminide. In some bond coatings, the chromium may be omitted. The X is hafnium, zirconium, yttrium, tantalum, rhenium, ruthenium, palladium, platinum, silicon, titanium, boron, carbon, or combinations thereof. Some examples of MCrAlX compositions include NiAlCrZr and NiAlZr. In a particular embodiment, the bond coating 14 is Al-based, either a nickel-platinum aluminide (which can be modified with Hf additions) or an MCrAlY/MCoCrAlY bond coat, where M is a metal, such as Fe. For a ceramic or ceramic matrix composite, the bond coat can be any Si-based material, including pure silicon, silicate or silicide. - Thermal and/or
environmental barrier coating 18 may include, for example, a stabilized zirconia-based thermal barrier coating, such as yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ), or a stabilized hafnia-based thermal barrier coating, such as yttria stabilized hafnia (YSH). In a particular embodiment, the thermal barrier coating or environmental barrier coating may be a multilayer system, whether functionally graded (e.g., porosity level) or composition (e.g., 23YSZ/8YSZ). - The
topcoat 22 includes a layered crystallographic structure oxide ceramic. The final topcoat composition is nominally any of the following compositions: MAl12O19; MMeAl12O19; MAl11O19; MMeAl11O19; MAl11O18; MMeAl11O18; where M and Me are cations including the cations listed here: Mg2+, La3+, Gd3+, Mn2+, Si4+, Na+, Ca2+, Ba2+, La3+, Mg2+, Fe+, Fe3+, or Ti4+. This list of cations is exemplary and those having ordinary skill in the art will readily envision other cations that may be used as well, based on this disclosure. Cations as small as Na+ and K+ can be immobilized by the hexaaluminates. Since these salts have been found to penetrate down to the bond coat, presumably via water vapor, and so contribute to coating spallation, the arrest of their penetration is another attractive feature of a magnetoplumbite coating. As such, the topcoat is expected to provide additional life to the underlying TBC and EBC by preventing CMAS-induced spallation. Additional information regarding the preparation and characterization of magnetoplumbite materials may be found in the following seven references, each of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety: 1.

R Collongues, D Gourier, A Kahn-Harari, A M Lejus, J Thery, and D Vivien Annu Rev Mater Sci 20 51-82 (1990). - Having described the general structure of the
protective coating system 12, amethod 30 for fabricating a protective coating system, such asprotective coating system 12 ofFIG. 2 , will now be described. Referring toFIG. 6 , themethod 30 begins with the step of providing a substrate 10 (step 32). As described above, the substrate may be a turbine blade, or any other turbine component such as, for example, a vane or a shroud, that is subjected to high gas temperatures. The substrate may include nickel-based superalloys, cobalt-based superalloys, titanium-based superalloys, nickel aluminides, including NiAl, and any of the other materials or material systems discussed above for the fabrication ofsubstrate 10 ofFIG. 2 . A bond coating, such as bond coating 14 ofFIG. 2 , then is formed on the substrate (step 34). The bond coating may include any of the materials described above for bond coating 14. The bond coating may be deposited using various known deposition techniques such as, for example, simple over-the-pack aluminizing, electroplating, electron beam physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD), chemical vapor deposition (CVD), low pressure spray, and cold spraying and may be deposited to a thickness, indicated by double-headed arrow 15, in the range of about 25 μm (about 1 mil) to about 2000 μm (about 8 mils). After formation, the exposed surface of the bond coating may be cleaned, such as by grit blasting, to remove any oxides or contaminants that have formed on or adhered to the bond coating surface. - The method continues with the formation of a thermal barrier coating or environmental barrier coating, such as thermal barrier coating or
environmental barrier coating 18 ofFIG. 2 (step 36). In one exemplary embodiment, the thermal barrier coating is yttria stabilized zirconium oxide (YSZ) that is deposited by plasma spraying, PVD or EB-PVD. In another exemplary embodiment, the thermal barrier coating is yttria stabilized hafnium oxide (YSH) that is deposited by plasma spraying or EB-PVD. A thickness ofthermal barrier coating 18 may vary according to design parameters and may be, for example, between about 50 and about 1000 μm, and typically between about 100 and about 300 μm. - The method continues with the formation of the topcoat included of the layered crystallographic structure oxide ceramic (step 38). It may be applied by EB-PVD, plasma spray or via liquid precursor routes, such as sol-gel or coating with a starting slurry. The topcoat material may be prepared by blending commercially available ceramic powders in appropriate proportions, such as Al2O3, M oxides, and Me oxides. The powders mixed in proper ratio and may be ball-mill mixed with arabic gum and deionized water and spay-dried to prepare free-flowing powders that are suitable for use in the above-noted applications methods.
- Reference is now made to
FIGS. 3-5 , which illustrate a cross-sectional view of a turbine engine component in accordance withFIG. 2 during operation, andFIG. 7 , which is a flowchart setting forth amethod 40 of operating a turbine engine in accordance with the illustrations inFIGS. 3-5 . With particular reference toFIG. 3 , during operation of the gas turbine engine, sand orother CMAS materials 50 will deposit and adhere to thetopcoat 22 as partially or fully molten deposits (step 41). At a critical elevated temperature, such as above about 2150° F., there will be an incipient melting phase 24 (i.e., the first phase of CMAS to melt) (step 43). Upon melting, the cations in theCMAS melt 24 will be captured by the magnetoplumbite topcoat (now referred to asreference numeral 22 a to indicate a change in composition based on CMAS infiltration) and stabilized in the crystal structure, thus arresting the infiltration of the melt by “freezing” the remainder of the deposit (step 45). With reference now toFIG. 4 , as thesolid CMAS deposit 26 grows in thickness, stresses will develop in the top or topmost layers of thehexaaluminate coating 22 a (step 47). Finally, with reference toFIG. 5 , at a critical stress these CMAS-covered layers will cleave off and expose underlying fresh topcoat layers (now referred to asreference numeral 22 b to indicate fresh topcoat layers exposed by the cleaving process) (step 49). This process will repeat and continue until the topcoat is removed, at which point the underlying TBC orEBC 18 is exposed. - Accordingly, protective coating systems for gas turbine engine applications and methods for fabricating such protective coating systems have been provided. The systems include a magnetoplumbite structure ceramic topcoat that provides additional life to the underlying TBC and EBC by preventing CMAS-induced spallation.
