Abstract (en)

A thermal barrier coating system (20) for the surface of an article (22) designed for use in a hostile thermal environment, such as turbine, combustor and augmentor components of a gas turbine engine. The thermal barrier coating system (20) employs a bond coat (24) of a nickel aluminide alloy over which a thermal-insulating ceramic layer (26) is deposited. The nickel aluminide bond coat (24) contains zirconium, but is otherwise predominantly of the beta ( beta ) NiAl phase. The bond coat (24) is preferably deposited by a physical vapor deposition process (PVD), such as by magnetron sputtering, electron beam physical vapor deposition (EBPVD), jet vapor deposition (JVD) and plasma spray. The NiAl bond coat (24) with zirconium additions of between 0.05 and 0.5 atomic percent have been shown to exhibit drastically improved thermal fatigue life over prior art bond coats, with optimal results appearing to be obtained at or near 0.1 atomic percent zirconium. <IMAGE>
