Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A thermal barrier coating includes a bond coat layer deposited on a substrate, and a ceramic layer deposited on the bond coat layer. The ceramic layer includes a first layer having a porosity of 10% or more and 15% or less, and a second layer having a porosity of 0.5% or more and 9.0% or less and deposited on the first layer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A thermal barrier coating comprising: a bond coat layer deposited on a substrate; and a ceramic layer deposited on the bond coat layer, the ceramic layer including a first layer having a porosity of 10% or more and 15% or less, and a second layer having a porosity of 0.5% or more and less than 9.0%, and having a thickness of 50 μm or more and 100 μm or less, the second layer being deposited on the first layer, wherein a thickness of the second layer is 10% or more and 100% or less of a thickness of the first layer, wherein the first layer and the second layer are each composed of ytterbium-stabilized zirconia (“YbSZ”), wherein the second layer is formed by thermally spraying first spray particles having a particle size distribution with a D10 particle size of 30 μm or more and 40 μm or less, a D50 particle size of 40 μm or more and 60 μm or less, and a D90 particle size of 70 μm or more and 80 μm or less, wherein the first layer is formed by thermally spraying second spray particles having a particle size distribution with a D10 particle size of 40 μm or more and 50 μm or less, a D50 particle size of 60 μm or more and 70 μm or less, and a D90 particle size of 80 μm or more and 100 μm or less, and wherein a ratio of the D10 particle size of the first spray particles to the D10 particle size of the second spray particles is larger than a ratio of the D50 particle size of the first spray particles to the D50 particle size of the second spray particles and a ratio of the D90 particle size of the first spray particles to the D90 particle size of the second spray particles. 2. The thermal barrier coating according to claim 1 , wherein the first layer and the second layer are thermal spray layers formed by atmospheric plasma spraying. 3. A turbine member comprising the thermal barrier coating according to claim 1 . 4. A gas turbine comprising the turbine member according to claim 3 . 5. The thermal barrier coating according to claim 1 , wherein the porosity of the second layer is 1.0% or more and 7.5% or less. 6. The thermal barrier coating according to claim 1 , wherein the first layer has no vertical cracks extending along a thickness direction of the first layer, and wherein the porosity of the second layer is 0.5% or more and less than 4.0%. 7. The thermal barrier coating according to claim 1 , wherein the porosity of the second layer is 0.5% or more and less than 3.0%.
