Abstract

A process for producing a thermal barrier coating having an excellent thermal barrier effect and superior durability to thermal cycling. Also, a turbine member having a thermal barrier coating that has been formed using the production process, and a gas turbine. The process for producing a thermal barrier coating includes: forming a metal bonding layer ( 12 ) on a heat-resistant alloy substrate ( 11 ), and forming a ceramic layer ( 13 ) on the metal bonding layer ( 12 ) by thermal spraying of thermal spray particles having a particle size distribution in which the 10% cumulative particle size is not less than 30 μm and not more than 100 μm.

Claims (8)

1. A process for producing a thermal barrier coating, the process comprising:

forming a metal bonding layer on a heat-resistant alloy substrate;

removing small size particles from material thermal spray particles using a sieve of a predetermined size mesh which can allow the small size particles to pass through, thereby obtaining thermal spray particles having a particle size distribution in which a 10% cumulative particle size is not less than 40 μm and not more than 50 μm, in which the thermal spray particles have a maximum particle size of not more than 150 μm, in which particles having a particle size of 30 μm are not more than 3% of the thermal spray particles, and in which particles having a particle size of 40 μm are not more than 8% of the thermal spray particles, and

forming a ceramic layer on the metal bonding layer by thermal spraying of the thermal spray particles.

2. A process for producing a thermal barrier coating, the process comprising:

forming a metal bonding layer on a heat-resistant alloy substrate for a gas turbine;

removing small size particles from material thermal spray particles which are selected from the group consisting of YbSZ, YSZ, SmYbZr 2 0 7 , DySZ, and ErSZ using a sieve of a predetermined size mesh which can allow the small size particles to pass through, thereby obtaining thermal spray particles having a particle size distribution in which a 10% cumulative particle size is not less than 40 μm and not more than 50 μm, in which the thermal spray particles have a maximum particle size of not more than 150 μm, in which particles having a particle size of 30 μm are not more than 3% of the thermal spray particles, and in which particles having a particle size of 40 μm are not more than 8% of the thermal spray particles; and

forming a ceramic layer on the metal bonding layer by thermal spraying of the thermal spray particles.
