Abstract

The invention relates to a ceramic sealing system between a rotor blade (120) and a housing (I). A small porous zirconium oxide layer (II) on a turbine rotor blade, which zirconium oxide layer faces a ceramic layer system (15′, 15″) of higher porosity, achieves durable sealing systems. The housing (I″) has a metal substrate (7), a metal adhesion-promoting layer (10), and a thick, outer, ceramic layer (15′, 15″) based on zirconium oxide, in particular having a porosity 2≥14%.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A ceramic sealing system between a stator and a turbine blade of a rotor, comprising:
the turbine blade, wherein the turbine blade has a first coating a blade airfoil of the turbine blade, wherein a zirconium oxide layer having a porosity of less than 8% is included as a second coating on the tip of the turbine blade, and wherein the first coating has a different porosity than the second coating,
wherein the stator includes a metallic substrate, a metallic bonding layer and a thick, outer ceramic layer based on zirconium oxide having a porosity of ≥14%.

2. The ceramic sealing system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the thick, outer ceramic layer is a partially stabilized, single-layer layer having a porosity of 18%±4%.

3. The ceramic sealing system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the thick outer ceramic layer is made up of two sublayers.

4. The ceramic sealing system as claimed in claim 3 , wherein an inner sublayer comprises partially stabilized zirconium oxide with a porosity of 18%±4%.

5. The ceramic sealing system as claimed in claim 3 having an outer sublayer including an at least twice as thick zirconium oxide layer.

6. The ceramic sealing system as claimed in claim 3
wherein the outer, ceramic layer is at least one of 1000 μm thick, and 1000 μm±10%.

7. The ceramic sealing system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the thick outer ceramic layer is a ceramic bonding layer based on a partially stabilized yttrium oxide layer having a porosity of 18%±4% and an outer, highly porous, at least twice as thick partially stabilized zirconium oxide layer having a porosity of 24%±3%.

8. The ceramic sealing system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the thick outer ceramic layer is a ceramic bonding layer based on a partially stabilized yttrium oxide layer having a porosity of 18%±4% and an outer, porous, at least twice as thick fully stabilized zirconium oxide layer having a porosity of 18%±4%.

9. The ceramic sealing system as claimed in claim 3 ,
wherein the full stabilization is affected by means of yttrium oxide in a proportion of 48%.

10. The ceramic sealing system as claimed in claim 2 ,
wherein the partial stabilization is affected by means of yttrium oxide in a proportion of 8%.

11. The ceramic sealing system as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the stabilization of zirconium oxide is affected only by yttrium oxide.

12. The ceramic sealing system as claimed in claim 3 ,
wherein the thickness of the ceramic bonding layer is at least one of in the range from 300 μm to 500 μm and 400 μm.

13. The ceramic sealing system as claimed in claim 1 ,

16. A ceramic sealing system, comprising:
a stator; and
a turbine rotor blade, wherein the turbine rotor blade has a first coating, wherein a zirconium oxide layer having a porosity of less than 8% has been applied as a second coating on a tip of the turbine rotor blade, and wherein the first coating is different than the second coating;
wherein the stator includes a metallic substrate, a metallic bonding layer, and a ceramic bonding layer based on a partially stabilized yttrium oxide layer having a porosity of 18%±4% and an outer, highly porous, at least twice as thick partially stabilized zirconium oxide layer having a porosity of 24%±3%.

17. A ceramic sealing system, comprising:
a stator; and
a turbine rotor blade, wherein the turbine rotor blade has a first coating, wherein a zirconium oxide layer having a porosity of less than 8% has been applied as a second coating on a tip of the turbine rotor blade, and wherein the first coating is different than the second coating;
wherein the stator includes a metallic substrate, a metallic bonding layer, and a ceramic bonding layer based on a partially stabilized yttrium oxide layer having a porosity of 18%±4% and an outer, porous, at least twice as thick fully stabilized zirconium oxide layer having a porosity of 18%±4%.
