Abstract

This presentation reviews the NASA advanced environmental barrier coating (EBC) system development for SiC-SiC Ceramic Matrix Composite (CMC) combustors particularly under the NASA Environmentally Responsible Aviation, Fundamental Aeronautics and Transformative Aeronautics Concepts Programs. The emphases have been placed on the current design challenges of the 2700-3000F capable environmental barrier coatings for low NOX emission combustors for next generation turbine engines by using advanced plasma spray based processes, and the coating processing and integration with SiC-SiC CMCs and component systems. The developments also have included candidate coating composition system designs, degradation mechanisms, performance evaluation and down-selects; the processing optimizations using TriplexPro Air Plasma Spray Low Pressure Plasma Spray (LPPS), Plasma Spray Physical Vapor Deposition and demonstration of EBC-CMC systems. This presentation also highlights the EBC-CMC system temperature capability and durability improvements under the NASA development programs, as demonstrated in the simulated engine high heat flux, combustion environments, in conjunction with high heat flux, mechanical creep and fatigue loading testing conditions.

Energetics of Reactions between Ceramic Coating Materials and their Binary Oxide Components with Silicate Melts

This paper summarizes our previous and current studies of using high-temperature calorimetry to investigate the energetics of reactions of ceramic coating materials (e.g., yttrium disilicate and 7-wt% yttria-stabilized zirconia) and their binary oxide components with silicate melts in the CaO–MgO–Al 2 O 3 –SiO 2 (CMAS) system. Such interactions are found to become stronger (more exothermic) with increasing difference in acid–base character between these materials and the melt. Our results suggest that the reactivity between the coating materials and the melt increases with decreasing thermodynamic stability (less exothermic enthalpy of formation from oxide components) of the coating material. They also suggest that ceramic coating materials made from binary oxides that have less exothermic enthalpies of solution and mixing are less susceptible to CMAS melt corrosion when in contact with an acidic, relatively polymerized, melt rich in SiO 2 . Thus, we propose that new coating material formulation and CMAS melt corrosion mitigation strategies should be optimized based on the energetic contributions of their binary oxide components.

Thermochemical Degradation of HfSiO4 by Molten CMAS

The thermochemical degradation of hafnium silicate (HfSiO4) was investigated with a molten calcium-magnesium-aluminosilicate (CMAS) glass relevant to gas turbine engine applications. Sintered HfSiO4 coupons were fabricated, within which wells were drilled and filled with CMAS glass powder at a loading of ~35 mg/cm2. Samples were heat treated at1200°C, 1300°C, 1400°C, and 1500°C for 1 hour, 10 hours, and 50 hours. At 1200°C and1300°C, slow formation of a Ca2HfSi4O12 cyclosilicate phase was observed at the HfSiO4-CMASinterface. At 1300°C and higher, rapid infiltration of CMAS into the material along the grain boundaries was observed. Initial conjecture into CMAS degradation mechanisms of HfSiO4 are presented herein.

Thermochemical/Thermomechanical Synergies in High-Temperature Solid Particle Erosion of CMAS-Exposed EBCs

Environmental barrier coatings (EBCs) are an enabling technology for the use of SiC-based ceramic matrix composites in next generation gas turbine engines. In the extreme engine environment, EBCs must be able to withstand a variety of individual damage mechanisms and their interactions with each other. Ingested particulates/debris can cause both thermochemical and thermomechanical degradation of EBCs. Siliceous debris primarily based on calcium magnesium aluminosilicates (CMAS) can melt and infiltrate and/or react with EBCs above 1200°C. Similarly, ingested debris can lead to mechanical damage and recession of coatings due to particulate erosion. Both modes of degradation can occur simultaneously during engine operation, and it is crucial to comprehensively understand the mechanisms of coating failure due to high-temperature particulate interactions. This study assesses the erosion durability of Yb 2 Si 2 O 7 -based EBCs exposed to CMAS of various loads in NASA Glenn’s Erosion Burner Rig Facility. CMAS exposures and erosion testing were carried out at 1316°C. The effects of CMAS loading and exposure time on EBC erosion durability were evaluated using Al 2 O 3 as an erodent material.
