  • Patent number: 12215427
    Abstract: An erosion and CMAS resistant coating arranged on an EBC coated substrate includes at least one porous vertically cracked (PVC) coating layer providing CTE mitigation and being disposed over the EBC coated substrate. At least one dense vertically cracked (DVC) erosion and CMAS resistant coating layer is deposited over the at least one PVC coating layer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 18, 2018
    Date of Patent: February 4, 2025
    Assignee: OERLIKON METCO (US) INC.
    Inventors: Dianying Chen, Chris Dambra
  • Publication number: 20210331983
    Abstract: A multi-layer coating arrangement includes an environmental barrier coating (EBC) over a substrate; and at least one dense vertically cracked (DVC) coating layer over the EBC. The at least one DVC layer is resistant to erosion, water vapor corrosion and to calcium-magnesium-aluminum-silicate (CMAS).

  • Patent number: 9103013
    Abstract: A thermal spray powder having a first component A mechanically blended with a second component B, wherein the first component A is a metal or metal composite, preferably at least one of Ni—Cr—Al clad ABN, Ni—Cr—Al clad HBN, Ni—Cr—Al clad agglomerated hexagonal boron nitride powder with organic binder, Ni—Cr—Al agglomerated hexagonal boron nitride powder with inorganic binder, an MCrAlY type powder where M is at least one of Ni, Co, Fe, and wherein component B is a polymer clad with at least one of nickel, nickel alloys, nickel chrome alloys, nickel chrome aluminum alloys, nickel aluminum alloys, cobalt and cobalt alloys. The result is a thermal spray powder of four distinctly different phases making the powder a four-phase blend.
