Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

High-temperature machine components, more particularly, articles capable of operating in high-temperature environments, including for example turbines of gas engines, may be formed of a high temperature ceramic matrix composite that includes a ceramic substrate including silicon; an environmental harrier coating system including a silicon containing bond coat; and a diffusion barrier layer of a carbide or a nitride between the substrate of the article and the silicon bond coat of the environmental barrier coating system. The diffusion harrier layer selectively prevents or reduces the diffusion of boron and impurities from the substrate to the bond coat of the environmental barrier coating system.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . An article, comprising: a ceramic substrate comprising silicon; an environmental barrier coating system comprising a silicon containing bond coat; and a diffusion barrier layer between the substrate and the silicon bond coat, wherein the diffusion barrier layer prevents or reduces diffusion of boron and impurities from the substrate to the bond coat. 2 . The article of claim 1 , wherein the substrate comprises a SiC—SiC ceramic matrix composite. 3 . The ceramic matrix composite of claim 1 , wherein the matrix comprises silicon and silicon carbide 4 . The article of claim 3 , where, in the silicon of the ceramic matrix composite, a total concentrations of impurities other than boron is less than 1 atom percent. 5 . (canceled) 6 . (canceled) 7 . The article of claim 1 , wherein the diffusion barrier layer comprises silicon carbide or silicon nitride. 8 . (canceled) 9 . (canceled) 10 . (canceled) 11 . (canceled) 12 . (canceled) 13 . (canceled) 14 . (canceled) 15 . (canceled) 16 . (canceled) 17 . (canceled) 18 . (canceled) 19 . The article of claim 1 , wherein the diffusion barrier layer is from about 1 micrometer to about 150 micrometers thick. 20 . The article of claim 1 , wherein the environmental barrier coating system further comprises at least one layer comprising a rare earth disilicate.
