Steam oxidation performance of Yb2Si2O7 environmental barrier coatings exposed to CMAS
JOURNAL OF THE EUROPEAN CERAMIC SOCIETY(2024)
Abstract
Environmental barrier coatings (EBCs) are necessary for use of SiC/SiC ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) in gas turbine engines. Due to the complex operational environments, it is increasingly important to understand the interplay of damage modes to project the durability of the EBC/CMC system. Two life-limiting failure mechanisms of EBCs are steam oxidation and molten calcium-magnesium-aluminosilicate (CMAS) attack. Steam oxidation results in the formation of a thermally grown oxide (TGO) that acts as a weak interface and CMAS/EBC interactions cause thermomechanical and thermochemical changes that compromise coating integrity. EBCs consisting of a Yb2Si2O7 topcoat and a silicon bond coat were subjected to low (2 mg/cm2) loadings of two CMAS compositions prior to steam oxidation at 1316 degrees C for up to 300 h. Exposure to CMAS reduced the TGO thickness and the low CaO content glass resulted in the thinnest oxide scales. However, glass exposure had mechanical consequences that caused premature coating delamination.
