Abstract: A ceramic heat barrier coating is deposited on a substrate so that the coating has a columnar growth pattern which is interrupted and repeated a number of times throughout its thickness by successive regermination of the ceramic deposit. The regermination is obtained by a vapor phase deposition process wherein a polluting gas is introduced intermittently during the deposition of the ceramic. The resulting ceramic coating has a lower thermal conductivity than conventional columnar ceramic coatings.
