Abstract

There are provided a thermal barrier coating material and a thermal barrier coating member that can suppress spalling when used at a high temperature and have a high thermal barrier effect, a method for producing the same, a turbine member coated with a thermal barrier coating, and a gas turbine. The thermal barrier coating member comprises a heat resistant substrate, a bond coat layer formed thereon, and a ceramic layer formed further thereon, wherein the ceramic layer comprises an oxide which consists of an oxide represented by the general formula A 2 Zr 2 O 7 doped with a predetermined amount of CaO or MgO and has 10 volume % or more of a pyrochlore type crystal structure, where A represents any of La, Nd, Sm, Gd, and Dy.

Claims (26)

1. A thermal barrier coating member comprising

a heat resistant substrate,

a bond coat layer formed on the heat resistant substrate, and

a ceramic layer formed on the bond coat layer,

wherein the ceramic layer comprises an oxide represented by general formula A′ 1 B 1 Zr 2 O 7 , where A′ and B each represent any of Sm, Ce, and Yb, and A′ and B are mutually different elements,

wherein the oxide has a pyrochlore type crystal structure to lower thermal conductivity,

wherein said ceramic layer has pores with a porosity of not lower than 1% and not higher than 30%, and

wherein said ceramic layer has vertical cracks in a thickness direction thereof at intervals of not smaller than 5% and not larger than 100% of a total thickness of layer(s) other than the bond coat layer on the heat resistant substrate.

2. A thermal barrier coating member comprising

a heat resistant substrate,

a bond coat layer formed on the heat resistant substrate, and

a ceramic layer formed on the bond coat layer,

wherein the ceramic layer comprises an oxide represented by general formula A′ 1 B 1 Zr 2 O 7 , where A′ and B each represent any of Sm, Ce, and Yb, and A′ and B are mutually different elements,

wherein the ceramic layer has pores with a porosity of not lower than 1% and not higher than 30%,

wherein the oxide has a pyrochlore type crystal structure to lower thermal conductivity, and

wherein said ceramic layer is of columnar crystals.

3. A thermal barrier coating member according to claim 1 or claim 2 , further comprising a zirconia-containing layer between the bond coat layer and the ceramic layer.

4. A thermal barrier coating member according to claim 3 , wherein said zirconia-containing layer has pores at a porosity of not lower than 1% and not higher than 30%.

5. A thermal barrier coating member according to claim 3 , wherein said zirconia-containing layer has vertical cracks in a thickness direction thereof at intervals of not smaller than 5% and not larger than 100% of a total thickness of layer(s) other than the bond coat layer on the heat resistant substrate.

6. A gas turbine comprising the thermal barrier coating member according to claim 1 or claim 2 .

7. A method for producing a thermal barrier coating member according to claim 1 or 2 , comprising:

forming a bond coat layer on a heat resistant substrate; and

forming a ceramic layer comprising an oxide represented by the general formula A′ 1 B 1 Zr 2 O 7 , where A′ and B each represent any of Sm, Ce, and Yb, and A′ and B are mutually different elements, on the bond coat layer,

wherein the oxide has a pyrochlore type crystal structure, and

wherein the forming a ceramic layer includes a stage of introducing pores into said ceramic layer and a stage of introducing vertical cracks into said ceramic layer in a thickness direction.
