  • Patent number: 11970950
    Abstract: A ceramic coating according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a bond coat layer formed on a substrate; and a ceramic layer formed on the bond coat layer. The ceramic layer has a first region in contact with an interface between the ceramic layer and the bond coat layer and a second region father away from the interface than the first region from the interface. In a cross-section along a thickness direction of the ceramic layer, the number of crack intersection points at which two or more cracks intersect per unit area in the ceramic layer is larger in the first region than in the second region.

  • Patent number: 11913383
    Abstract: The present invention provides a thermal barrier coated component, monitoring or evaluation of the soundness of which is able to be adequately carried out on the basis of the thermal boundary conditions that are detected by a sensor. A thermal barrier coated component according to the present invention comprises: a base material; a first bond coat layer that is a metal bonding layer formed on the base material; a sensor unit that comprises a sensor and a conductive wire, which are formed on the first bond coat layer; a second bond coat layer that is formed on the first bond coat layer so as to cover at least the sensor unit, while having a surface roughness higher than that of the first bond coat layer; and a top coat layer that is formed on the second bond coat layer.
