Abstract

Methods for adhering a substrate onto a surface of a ceramic component are provided. The method may include applying a first bond coating onto an attachment surface of the substrate, applying a first alumina coating onto the first bond coating on the attachment surface of the substrate, applying a second bond coating onto an outer surface of the ceramic component, applying a second alumina coating onto the second bond coating on the attachment surface of the substrate, applying a cement onto at least one of the first alumina coating and the second alumina coating, and adhering the attachment surface of the substrate onto the outer surface of the ceramic component. Connections between a metal substrate and a ceramic matrix composite component are also provided.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of adhering a substrate onto a surface of a ceramic component, the method comprising:
applying a first bond coating onto an attachment surface of the substrate;
applying a first alumina coating onto the first bond coating on the attachment surface of the substrate;
applying a second bond coating onto an outer surface of the ceramic component;
applying a second alumina coating onto the second bond coating on the outer surface of the ceramic component;
applying a cement onto at least one of the first alumina coating or the second alumina coating; and
adhering the attachment surface of the substrate onto the outer surface of the ceramic component,
wherein the substrate further comprises a stem and at least one retainer arm extending from the stem to a terminal end,
wherein the terminal end is adhered to the outer surface of the ceramic component with the cement, the terminal end being spaced from the attachment surface of the substrate by a region of the outer surface of the ceramic component free of the cement.

2. The method as in claim 1 , wherein the substrate is formed from a metal or metal alloy.

3. The method as in claim 1 , wherein the ceramic component comprises a ceramic matrix composite, and wherein an environmental barrier coating is on the surface of the ceramic component.

4. The method as in claim 1 , wherein the first bond coating comprises Ni and Al.

5. The method as in claim 4 , wherein the first bond coating comprises NiCrAlY.

6. The method as in claim 1 , wherein the first bond coating has a thickness of about 25 μm to about 100 μm, and wherein the first alumina coating has a thickness of about 25 μm to about 100 μm.

7. The method as in claim 1 , wherein the second bond coating comprises silicon metal, and wherein the second bond coating has a thickness of about 50 μm to about 150 μm, and further wherein the second alumina coating has a thickness of about 25 μm to about 100 μm.

8. The method as in claim 1 , wherein the cement comprises an alumina adhesive.

9. The method as in claim 1 , wherein the ceramic component defines an aperture on the surface, and wherein the substrate comprises a probe extending into the aperture.

10. The method as in claim 2 , wherein the substrate further comprises a probe and a plate, the plate extending outwardly from the stem and the probe between the at least one retainer arm and the ceramic component, the at least one retainer arm extending from the stem and spaced apart from the plate, the attachment surface of the substrate being on the plate.

11. The method as in claim 10 , wherein applying the cement onto at least one of the first alumina coating or the second alumina coating comprises applying the cement directly on the first alumina coating and the second alumina coating, wherein the first alumina coating and the second alumina coating face each other, wherein a first portion of the cement is in contact with the first alumina coating and a second portion of the cement is in contact with the second alumina coating, and wherein the ceramic component defines an aperture, the aperture configured for the probe to extend through the ceramic component, the probe configured to measure an environmental property on an inner surface of the ceramic component.

12. A method of adhering a substrate onto a surface of a ceramic component, the method comprising:
applying a first bond coating onto an attachment surface defined on a plate of the substrate;
applying a first alumina coating onto the first bond coating on the attachment surface of the substrate;
applying a second bond coating onto an outer surface of the ceramic component;
applying a second alumina coating onto the second bond coating on the outer surface of the ceramic component;
applying a cement onto at least one of the first alumina coating or the second alumina coating; and
adhering the attachment surface of the substrate onto the outer surface of the ceramic component,
wherein the substrate further comprises a stem and a probe, the plate extending outwardly from the stem and the probe between at least one retainer arm and the ceramic component, the at least one retainer arm extending from the stem and spaced apart from the plate.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein applying the cement onto at least one of the first alumina coating or the second alumina coating comprises applying the cement directly on the first alumina coating and the second alumina coating.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the first alumina coating and the second alumina coating face each other.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein a first portion of the cement is in contact with the first alumina coating and a second portion of the cement is in contact with the second alumina coating.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the ceramic component defines an aperture, the aperture configured for the probe to extend through the ceramic component, the probe configured to measure an environmental property on an inner surface of the ceramic component.

17. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:
adhering the at least one retainer arm to the outer surface of the ceramic component using the cement.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the at least one retainer arm extends from the stem to a terminal end, and wherein adhering the at least one retainer arm to the outer surface of the ceramic component using the cement comprises adhering the terminal end to the outer surface of the ceramic component.
