  • Application of dense vertically cracked and porous thermal barrier coating to a gas turbine component
    Patent number: 8511993
    Abstract: A configuration for coating a turbine component such as a blade or vane with various forms of thermal barrier coating to provide enhanced temperature capability and increased strain tolerance is disclosed. A gas path surface of the platform, airfoil and airfoil fillet region are first coated with a bond coating. A dense vertically cracked (DVC) thermal barrier coating is then applied to at least the gas path surface of the platform and can be applied to the fillet region. A porous thermal barrier coating is then applied to at least the airfoil. The porous thermal barrier coating can also be applied over the DVC thermal barrier coating if desired.
