Abstract

A coated article is disclosed including a substrate, a bond coating, and a thermally insulating top coating. The substrate includes a substrate surface and a substrate material at the substrate surface. The bond coating is disposed on and contacts the substrate surface, and includes the substrate material and a bond coating surface distal from the substrate surface. The bond coating surface includes a greater surface roughness than the substrate surface. The thermally insulating top coating is disposed on and contacts the bond coating surface. A method for forming the coated article includes applying the bond coating to the substrate surface, and applying the thermally insulating top coating to the bond coating surface.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A coated article, comprising:
a substrate including a substrate surface and a substrate material at the substrate surface;
a bond coating disposed on and contacting the substrate surface, the bond coating consisting of the substrate material and including a bond coating surface distal from the substrate surface, the bond coating surface including a greater surface roughness than the substrate surface; and
a thermally insulating top coating disposed on and contacting the bond coating surface,
wherein the substrate is a turbine component.

2. The coated article of claim 1 , wherein the substrate material is a superalloy.

3. The coated article of claim 2 , wherein the superalloy is selected from the group consisting of a nickel-based superalloy, a cobalt-based superalloy, an iron-based superalloy, and combinations thereof.

4. The coated article of claim 1 , wherein the substrate material is selected from the group consisting of a titanium alloy, an aluminum alloy, an aluminum-titanium-based alloy, a steel, a stainless steel, and combinations thereof.

5. The coated article of claim 1 , wherein the thermally insulating top coating is selected from the group consisting of a dense vertically-cracked ceramic coating, a porous ceramic coating, a Super-B ceramic coating, a slurry type coating, and combinations thereof.

6. The coated article of claim 1 , wherein the bond coating includes at least one of a γ-phase and a γ′-phase.

7. The coated article of claim 1 , wherein the bond coating includes a porosity of between 0% to about 60%.

8. The coated article of claim 1 , wherein the bond coating includes a gradient of porosity increasing from adjacent to the substrate surface to the bond coating surface.

9. A method for forming a coated article, comprising:
applying a bond coating to a substrate surface of a substrate, the substrate including a substrate material at the substrate surface, the bond coating consisting of the substrate material and contacting the substrate surface;
forming a bond coating surface distal from the substrate surface, the bond coating surface including a greater surface roughness than the substrate surface; and
applying a thermally insulating top coating to the bond coating surface, the thermally insulating top coating contacting the bond coating surface,
wherein the substrate is a turbine component.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein applying the bond coating to the substrate surface includes applying the bond coating to a superalloy as the substrate material.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein applying the bond coating to the substrate surface includes applying the bond coating to a superalloy selected from the group consisting of a nickel-based superalloy, a cobalt-based superalloy, an iron-based superalloy, or a combination thereof.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein applying the bond coating to the substrate surface includes applying the bond coating to a material selected from the group consisting of a titanium alloy, an aluminum alloy, an aluminum-titanium-based alloy, a steel, a stainless steel, and combinations thereof, as the substrate material.

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein applying the thermally insulating top coating includes applying a coating selected from the group consisting of a dense vertically-cracked ceramic coating, a porous ceramic coating, a Super-B ceramic coating, a slurry coating, and combinations thereof.

14. The method of claim 9 , wherein applying the bond coating includes applying the bond coating having at least one of a γ-phase and a γ′-phase.

15. The method of claim 9 , further including sequentially or simultaneously heat treating the bond coating and the thermally insulating top coating.

16. The method of claim 9 , wherein applying the bond coating includes applying the bond coating by a technique selected from the group consisting of air plasma spray, high velocity oxygen fuel thermal spray, high velocity air fuel spray, vacuum plasma spray, cold spray, and combinations thereof.
