Abstract

A method for forming a coated turbine component and a coated turbine component is provided. The method includes a step of providing a component having a substrate including a trailing edge face. The method further includes a step of applying a thermal barrier coating or environmental barrier coating selectively to the substrate to form a discontinuous transition from a hot gas path surface at the trailing edge face to discourage hot gas flow along the trailing edge face.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A coated turbine component, comprising:
a substrate comprising a hot gas path surface and a curved trailing edge face;
a coating disposed on the hot gas path surface and the curved trailing edge face; and
a discontinuous transition feature configured to discourage hot gas flow along the hot gas path surface from flowing along the curved trailing edge face,
wherein the discontinuous transition feature is formed from an additional portion of the coating extending outward from the coating over a portion of the curved trailing edge face, and
wherein the coating is a thermal barrier coating or an environmental barrier coating.

2. The coated turbine component of claim 1 , wherein the coated turbine component is selected from the group consisting of shrouds, nozzles, blades, combustors, combustor transition pieces, combustor liners, combustor tiles and combinations thereof.

3. The coated turbine component of claim 1 , wherein the discontinuous transition feature is a sharp feature.

4. The coated turbine component of claim 3 , wherein the discontinuous transition feature has an angle of 75-105 degrees with respect to the hot gas path surface.

5. The coated turbine component of claim 1 , wherein the substrate comprises a metallic material selected from the group consisting of a nickel superalloy, a cobalt superalloy, an iron superalloy, and combinations thereof.

6. The coated turbine component of claim 1 , wherein the substrate comprises a ceramic matrix composite material selected from the group consisting of carbon-fiber-reinforced silicon carbide (C/SiC), silicon-carbide-fiber-reinforced silicon carbide (SiC/SiC), carbon-fiber-reinforced silicon nitride (C/Si 3 N 4 ), silicon nitride-silicon carbide composite (Si 3 N 4 /SiC), alumina-fiber-reinforced alumina (Al 2 O 3 /Al 2 O 3 ), and combinations thereof.

7. The coated turbine component of claim 1 , wherein the coating comprises a bond coat and one or multiple top coats.

8. The coated turbine component of claim 7 , wherein the bond coat comprises a material selected from the group consisting of silicon, silicon-based alloy, silicon-based composite, silicon dioxide, MCrAlY and combinations thereof; wherein M is Ni, Co, Fe, or mixtures thereof.

9. The coated turbine component of claim 7 , wherein the coating further comprises a transition layer comprising a material selected from the group consisting of barium strontium alumino silicate (BSAS), mullite, yttria-stabilized zirconia, (Yb,Y) 2 Si 2 O 7 , rare earth monosilicates and disilicates and combinations thereof.

The coated turbine component of claim 7 , wherein the top coat comprising a material selected from the group consisting of Y 2 SiO 5 , barium strontium alumino silicate (BSAS), yttria-stabilized zirconia, yttria-stabilized hafnia, yttria-stabilized zirconia with additions of one or more rare earth oxides, yttria-stabilized hafnia with additions of one or more rare earth oxides and combinations thereof.

11. A method for forming a coated turbine component, comprising:
providing a component having a substrate comprising a hot gas path surface and a curved trailing edge face;
applying a coating to the hot gas path surface and the curved trailing edge face; and
forming a discontinuous transition feature extending outward from the coating over a portion of the curved trailing edge face by applying an additional portion of the coating to the substrate;
wherein the discontinuous transition feature is configured to discourage hot gas flow along the hot gas path surface from flowing along the curved trailing edge face, and
wherein the coating is a thermal barrier coating or an environmental barrier coating.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the step of applying the coating comprises at least one of physical vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition, plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition, air plasma spray, vacuum plasma spray, combustion spraying with powder or rod, slurry coating, sol gel, dip coating, electrophoretic deposition, tape casting, and additive manufacturing techniques.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the discontinuous transition feature is a sharp feature and has an angle of 90 degrees with respect to the hot gas path surface.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the substrate comprises a metallic material selected from the group consisting of a nickel superalloy, a cobalt superalloy, an iron superalloy, and combinations thereof.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the substrate comprises a ceramic matrix composite material selected from the group consisting of carbon-fiber-reinforced silicon carbide (C/SiC), silicon-carbide-fiber-reinforced silicon carbide (SiC/SiC), carbon-fiber-reinforced silicon nitride (C/Si 3 N 4 ), silicon nitride-silicon carbide composite (Si 3 N 4 /SiC), alumina-fiber-reinforced alumina (Al 2 O 3 /Al 2 O 3 ), and combinations thereof.
