Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product that includes a processor(s) standardizing data from sources that includes details for materials for integration into a custom-designed item. The processor(s) store the standardized data in a consolidated data set one or more databases accessible to an API. The processor(s) trigger the API, based on a selected in a graphical user interface communicatively coupled to the API, to query the one or more databases to obtain select data from the consolidated data set about a portion of the materials that could potentially fulfill a parameter for the custom-designed item. The processor(s) optimize the select data, to determine one or more physical layouts for the portion of the materials in the custom-designed item. The processor(s) render and display a two-dimensional model of the custom-designed object with the one or more physical layouts implemented into the custom-designed object.

Abstract: This invention relates to high purity yttria or ytterbia stabilized zirconia powders comprising from about 0 to about 0.15 weight percent impurity oxides, from about 0 to about 2 weight percent hafnium oxide (hafnia), from about 6 to about 25 weight percent yttrium oxide (yttria) or from about 10 to about 36 weight percent ytterbium oxide (ytterbia), and the balance zirconium oxide (zirconia). Thermal barrier coatings for protecting a component such as blades, vanes and seal surfaces of gas turbine engines, made from the high purity yttria or ytterbia stabilized zirconia powders, have a density greater than 88% of the theoretical density with a plurality of verticalzA macrocracks homogeneously dispersed throughout the coating to improve its thermal fatigue resistance.
