First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A turbine engine part comprising at least a substrate, and present on the substrate, a ceramic coating for protection against calcium and magnesium aluminosilicates, the ceramic coating comprising: Al 2 O 3 at a molar content lying in the range 33% to 49%; Y 3 Al 5 O 12 at a molar content lying in the range 21% to 53%; and yttria-stabilized zirconia at a molar content lying in the range 13% to 31%. 2. A part according to claim 1 , wherein the ceramic coating comprises: Al 2 O 3 at a molar content lying in the range 37% to 45%; Y 3 Al 5 O 12 at a molar content lying in the range 29% to 45%; and yttria-stabilized zirconia at a molar content lying in the range 17% to 27%. 3. A part according to claim 1 , wherein the ceramic coating has a thickness lying in the range 50 μm to 200 μm. 4. A part according to claim 1 , wherein the substrate comprises a material selected from the following: a metal superalloy and a ceramic matrix composite material. 5. A part according to claim 1 , further comprising a thermal barrier layer present between the substrate and the ceramic coating. 6. A part according to claim 1 , wherein the substrate constitutes a part for an aviation turbine engine selected from among the following parts: a turbine blade; at least a portion of a turbine nozzle; and at least a portion of a turbine ring. 7. A method of fabricating a part according to claim 1 , the method comprising at least a step of forming the ceramic coating on the substrate, the ceramic coating comprising: Al 2 O 3 at a molar content lying in the range 33% to 49%; Y 3 Al 5 O 12 at a molar content lying in the range 21% to 53%; and yttria-stabilized zirconia at a molar content lying in the range 13% to 31%. 8. A method according to claim 7 , wherein the ceramic coating is formed by sintering. 9. A method according to claim 7 , wherein the ceramic coating is formed on the substrate by directed solidification. 10. A method of using a part according to claim 1 , comprising a step of using the part at a temperature higher than 1000° C. in an oxidizing medium and in the presence of calcium and magnesium aluminosilicates.
