Description

HYBRID THERMAL BARRIER COATING AND PROCESS OF MAKING SAME
BACKGROUND
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a thermal barrier coating for use on a turbine engine component and to a process of making the thermal barrier coating.
[0002] A thermal barrier coating (TBC) is created to meet one or more performance requirements including, but not liited to, spallation life, calcia-magnesia-alumina- silicate (CMAS) resistance, foreign object damage (FOD) resistance, erosion, and low conductivity. A turbine barrier coating is applied to a turbine engine component, such as a turbine blade/vane, to help the component withstand the relatively high temperatures of its operational environment.
[0003] TBCs are often formed using a singular coating process such as an electron beam physical vapor deposition
(EB-PVD) process. For example, a TBC may be formed from two separate EB-PVD layers formed from two different materials, such as 7 wt% yttria stabilized zirconia and gadolinia stabilized zirconia in order to improve the thermal conductivity properties of the coating. The strain-tolerant columnar structure of an EB-PVD coating helps to increase the TBC spallation life. A more porous TBC however may minimize the TBC thermal conductivity and possibly the thermal radiation through the coating.
[0004] In one TBC, there is a porous outer layer over a more dense inner layer made by an EB-PVD process. In some TBCs, the two layers have diff rent porosity levels. Such a structure can be formed by changing the coating temperature. More power equals more density but also more temperature. It is also known to form a dense vertically cracked microstructure for the TBC where the deposition is conducted at a two inch stand-off for the dense layer and a six inch stand-off for the porous layer.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0024] FIG. 1 illustrates a turbine engine component having a thermal barrier coating in accordance with the present disclosure deposited thereon; and
[0025] FIG. 2 illustrates a system for forming the coating on the turbine engine component. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] Referring now to FIG. 1, there is shown a turbine engine component 10. The turbine engine component may be any component which requires a thermal barrier coating such as a blade/vane. The turbine engine component 10 may have a substrate 12 formed from any suitable material known in the art including, but not limited to, a nickel based alloy, a cobalt based alloy, a titanium based alloy, a ceramic material, and an organo- matrix composite material.
[0027] A thermal barrier coating 14 may be deposited on the substrate 12. The thermal barrier coating 14 may have a first layer 16 which interfaces with the surface 18 of the substrate 12 and an outer second layer 20. The first layer 16 may be formed so as to have a strain-tolerant columnar microstructure at the interface with the surface 18 of the substrate. The second layer 20 may be formed to have a porous thermal conduction and radiant heat transfer resistant microstructure at an outer surface 22 of the thermal barrier coating.
[0028] The first layer 16 and the second layer 20 may formed from a material having the same composition. For example, each of the layers 16 and 20 may be formed from a 7 wt% yttria stabilized zirconia (7YSZ) . In another embodiment, the first layer 16 may be formed from a first material having a first composition and the second layer 20 may be formed from a second material having a second composition which is different from the first composition. For example, the first layer 16 may be formed from 7YSZ, while the second layer 20 is formed from gadolinia stabilized zirconia. [0029] Each of the layers 16 and 20 may be formed using suspension plasma spray (SPS) technique such as that shown in FIG. 2. In this technique, a powdered feedstock is suspended in a liquid suspension 30. For example, the powdered feedstock may be 7YSZ which may be suspended in ethanol, water, or other alcohols such as methanol. The powdered feedstock may have a particle size in the range of from 10 nm to 10 microns mean size diameter. In another non-limiting embodiment, the particles size may be in the range of from 10 nm to 2.0 microns. The powdered feedstock in the suspension is injected into a plasma jet 32 created by a plasma torch 34 and thus deposited onto the substrate 12. The spray conditions are such that the first layer 16 is formed to have the desired strain tolerant columnar microstructure . The deposition technique may have a short stand off (similar to that used in dense vertically cracked coatings) and high power/enthalpy plasma conditions. After the first layer 16 has been formed, the spray conditions may be changed so as to form the second layer 20 with the porous thermal conduction and radiant heat transfer resistant microstructure. To add porosity, (1) the angle of the spray nozzle could be changed from normal relative to the surface on which the layer 20 is being deposited; (2) the stand off may be increased; and/or (3) the plasma power/enthalpy may be reduced. More porosity in the second layer 20 than in the first layer 16 creates a reduction in thermal conductivity. The second layer 20 may have a reduction of at least 10% in thermal conductivity. This may come purely from a porosity increase or a change in the structure from columnar to more splat like. An increase in porosity increases the erosion rate. A useful limit may be 10 to 40% porosity in the second layer 20.
[0030] The columnar structure SPS gives a thermal cyclic spallation resistance similar to EB-PVD (much higher than APS and higher than dense vertically cracked) . Erosion is a function of porosity content and can be greater or less than EB-PVD (generally higher than APS and more like dense vertically cracked) . Thermal conductivity, as discussed above, follows the porosity content .
[0031] If desired, the spray conditions may be discreetly or incrementally changed throughout the spray run. For example, the spray conditions may be changed so that a continuously graded microstructure is formed where there is the strain-tolerant columnar microstructure at the interface with the substrate 12 for thermal barrier coating spallation resistance and a porous thermal conduction and radiation thermally resistant layer at the outer surface 22.
[0032] If desired, the first layer 16 may be formed using the above discussed SPS technique and the second layer 20 may be formed using a porous air plasma spray (APS) technique.
[0033] One of the advantages of the process described herein is that the thermal barrier coating can be formed using a single piece of equipment and in a single coating run .
[0034] Another advantage is that one can easily change the composition of the second layer 20 so that it is different than the composition of the first layer 16. This can easily be done by changing the composition of the feedstock being injected into the plasma jet. [0035] There has been described herein a hybrid thermal barrier coating and a process for making same. While the coating and process have been described in the context of specific embodiments thereof, other unforeseen alternatives, modifications, and variations may become apparent to those skilled in the art having read the foregoing description. Accordingly, it is intended to embrace those alternatives, modifications, and variations as fall within the broad scope of the appended claims.
