Abstract
Functionally multilayered environmental barrier coatings (EBCs) with the desired layer sequence of Yb2O3/Yb2SiO5/Yb2Si2O7/SiO2/Si were obtained using an unconventional yet simple technique of reactive sintering. Yb2O3 slurry was sprayed on polycrystalline silicon (used as a bond coat for SiCf/SiC composites) and reactive sintered to generate graded layers that provide a combination of mitigated thermal expansion mismatch as well as silica activity. The Yb2O3-terpineol slurry produced a uniform deposit of the Yb2O3 topcoat. Reactive sintering of exploratory coatings (t ∼ 10–20 µm) was carried out in air by varying the temperature (1100–1400°C) and time (2–24 h). X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy-energy-dispersive spectroscopy technique confirmed the in situ formation of X2-Yb2SiO5 and β-Yb2Si2O7. Rietveld refinement was performed to know the volume fractions of the respective phases. The set of process parameters identified from the preliminary work was employed to fabricate EBCs with thickness ∼ 250 µm. The X2-Yb2SiO5 and β-Yb2Si2O7 phases formed next to the Si/SiO2 interface as two separate layers. Post-sintering heat treatments in air at 1300, 1350, and 1400°C for 3–50 h elucidated the growth characteristics of the oxide layers to be a function of both temperature and time. The theoretical considerations of diffusional reactive phase formation of the EBC multilayer growth rates are discussed.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Ceramic Society contains records of original research that provide insight into or describe the science of ceramic and glass materials and composites based on ceramics and glasses. These papers include reports on discovery, characterization, and analysis of new inorganic, non-metallic materials; synthesis methods; phase relationships; processing approaches; microstructure-property relationships; and functionalities. Of great interest are works that support understanding founded on fundamental principles using experimental, theoretical, or computational methods or combinations of those approaches. All the published papers must be of enduring value and relevant to the science of ceramics and glasses or composites based on those materials.
Papers on fundamental ceramic and glass science are welcome including those in the following areas:
Enabling materials for grand challenges[...]
Materials design, selection, synthesis and processing methods[...]
Characterization of compositions, structures, defects, and properties along with new methods [...]
Mechanisms, Theory, Modeling, and Simulation[...]
JACerS accepts submissions of full-length Articles reporting original research, in-depth Feature Articles, Reviews of the state-of-the-art with compelling analysis, and Rapid Communications which are short papers with sufficient novelty or impact to justify swift publication.
