Abstract

A thermal barrier coating enabling to prevent peeling of layer in a high temperature use and still having a high thermal barrier effect, a turbine part coated by this thermal barrier coating and a gas turbine comprising this turbine part are provided. The thermal barrier coating comprises a base material 21 of high temperature heat resistant alloy and a ceramics layer 23 formed on the base material 21 . The ceramics layer 23 comprises ZrO 2 added with Yb 2 O 3 as stabilizer and is laminated on the base material via a bond coat layer 22 laminated as a metallic bond layer. A plurality of cracks 23 A are preferably introduced in the ceramics layer 23 . The turbine part is constructed having its surface coated with the above thermal barrier coating.

Claims (26)

1. A thermal barrier coating arrangement comprising:

a base material of a heat resistant alloy; and

a ceramics layer formed on said base material for enhancing heat resistance of said base material;

wherein said ceramics layer comprises ZrO 2 provided with Yb 2 O 3 of 15 weight % or more and 20 weight % or less as a stabilizer;

wherein said ceramics layer has cracks introduced into said ceramics layer that extend in a thickness direction of said ceramics layer;

wherein said cracks are introduced into said ceramics layer such that they extend in a range of ±40° relative to a normal line to a face of said ceramics layer and not outside the range; and

wherein said ceramics layer has fine pores formed therein and a porosity of said pores relative to said ceramics layer is 8% or more and 15% or less.

2. A thermal barrier coating arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an interval between adjacent said cracks is 0.05 to 1 times the thickness of said ceramics layer.

3. A thermal barrier coating arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said ceramics layer in which said cracks are introduced has a corrosive component penetration preventing layer that is made of the same material as said ceramics layer and is formed on said ceramics layer.

4. A thermal barrier coating arrangement as claimed in claim 3 , wherein said corrosive component penetration preventing layer has a thickness of 5 to 50 μm and a porosity of 4 to 20%.

5. A thermal barrier coating arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a metallic bond layer is provided between said base material and said ceramics layer.

6. A turbine part comprising a thermal barrier coating as claimed in claim 1 .

7. A gas turbine comprising a turbine part as claimed in claim 6 .

8. A thermal barrier coating arrangement comprising:

a base material of a heat resistant alloy; and

a ceramics layer formed on said base material for enhancing heat resistance of said base material;

wherein said ceramics layer comprises ZrO 2 provided with Yb 2 O 3 of 16 weight % as a stabilizer;

wherein said ceramics layer has cracks introduced into said ceramics layer that extend in a thickness direction of said ceramics layer;

wherein said cracks are introduced into said ceramics layer such that they extend in a range of ±40° relative to a normal line to a face of said ceramics layer and not outside the range; and

wherein said ceramics layer has fine pores formed therein and a porosity of said pores relative to said ceramics layer is 8% or more and 15% or less.

9. A thermal barrier coating arrangement as claimed in claim 8 , wherein an interval between adjacent said cracks is 0.05 to 1 times the thickness of said ceramics layer.

10. A thermal barrier coating arrangement as claimed in claim 8 , wherein said ceramics layer in which said cracks are introduced has a corrosive component penetration preventing layer that is made of the same material as said ceramics layer and is formed on said ceramics layer.

11. A thermal barrier coating arrangement as claimed in claim 10 , wherein said corrosive component penetration preventing layer has a thickness of 5 to 50 μm and a porosity of 4 to 20%.

12. A thermal barrier coating arrangement as claimed in claim 8 , wherein a metallic bond layer is provided between said base material and said ceramics layer.

13. A turbine part comprising a thermal barrier coating as claimed in claim 8 .

14. A gas turbine comprising a turbine part as claimed in claim 13 .
