Enhanced fracture toughness thermal barrier coating material

Abstract:

Disclosed are embodiments of a multi-phase ceramic material which can have advantageous properties as a thermal barrier coating. In particular, embodiments of the ceramic can have high fracture toughness as well as calcium, magnesium, and aluminum silicate corrosion resistance. The improved properties of the ceramic can make the material applicable as a coating on turbines, such as airplane and industrial turbines.
