  • DISPERSION STRENGTHENED RARE EARTH STABILIZED ZIRCONIA
    Publication number: 20110165335
    Abstract: A process for forming a coating on a substrate, such as a turbine engine component, is provided. The process comprises the steps of: providing a first rare earth oxide stabilized zirconia composition; providing a second composition selected from the group consisting of a yttria stabilized zirconia composition, a ceria stabilized zirconia composition, alumina, a chromia-alumina composition, a gadolinia stabilized zirconia composition, and mixtures thereof; blending the first rare earth oxide stabilized zirconia composition with the second composition to form a blended powder; and depositing the blended powder onto the substrate. Articles having the coating formed from the above process are also described.

  • Dispersion strengthened rare earth stabilized zirconia
    Patent number: 7858212
    Abstract: A process for forming a coating on a substrate, such as a turbine engine component, is provided. The process comprises the steps of providing a rare earth oxide stabilized zirconia composition, blending the first rare earth oxide stabilized zirconia composition with at least one additional constituent selected from the group consisting of TiO2, Al2O3, a blend of Al2O3—TiO2, La2Zr2O7, and 20 wt % Yttria Stabilized Zirconia; and depositing the blended powder onto the substrate. Articles having the coating formed from the above process are also described.
