Abstract

A thermal barrier coating material, containing a metal binding layer laminated on a base material and a ceramic layer laminated on the metal binding layer, the ceramic layer comprising partially stabilized ZrO 2 which is partially stabilized by additives of Dy 2 O 3 and Yb 2 O 3 .

Claims (15)

1. A thermal barrier coating material, comprising a metal binding layer laminated on a base material and a ceramic layer laminated on the metal binding layer, the ceramic layer comprising partially stabilized ZrO 2 which is partially stabilized by additives of Dy 2 O 3 and Yb 2 O 3 , wherein the ceramic layer is porous and has a porosity which ranges from 10 to 30%, and wherein said ceramic layer is a film produced by thermal spraying of a ZrO 2 —Dy 2 O 3 —Yb 2 O 3 powder which has been obtained from a solid solution of a mixture of ZrO 2 , Dy 2 O 3 and Yb 2 O 3 powders, wherein each powder used to form said mixture has a specific surface area of at least 10 m 2 /g.

2. The thermal barrier coating material according to claim 1 , wherein said Dy 2 O 3 is in a range of 0.01 wt % to 16.00 wt %, said Yb 2 O 3 is in a range of 0.01 wt % to 17.00 wt %, a sum of said Dy 2 O 3 and said Yb 2 O 3 is in a range of 10 wt % to 20 wt %.

3. The thermal barrier coating material according to claim 2 , wherein said Dy 2 O 3 is in a range of 0.1 wt % to 4 wt %.

4. The thermal barrier coating material according to claim 2 , wherein said Dy 2 O 3 is in a range of 0.1 wt % to 2 wt %.

5. A gas turbine member, comprising the thermal barrier coating material according to claim 1 .

6. A gas turbine, comprising the gas turbine member according to claim 5 .

7. The thermal barrier coating material according to claim 1 , wherein said ZrO 2 excluding stabilizers is in a range of 80 wt % to 90 wt %.

8. The thermal barrier coating material according to claim 1 , wherein said ceramic layer consists of partially stabilized ZrO 2 which is partially stabilized only by additives of Dy 2 O 3 and Yb 2 O 3 .

9. The thermal barrier coating material according to claim 1 , wherein a density of a porous portion of said ceramic layer is in a range of 4 g/mm 3 to 6.5 g/mm 3 .

10. The thermal barrier coating material according claim 9 , wherein a thermal conductivity of said ceramic layer is in a range of 0.5 w/m·K to 5 w/m·K.

11. The thermal barrier coating material according claim 1 , wherein a thermal conductivity of said ceramic layer is in a range of 0.5 w/m·K to 5 w/m·K.

12. The thermal barrier coating material according to claim 1 , wherein the ceramic layer has microcracks that extend in a thickness direction of the ceramic layer, and the number of said microcracks per unit length (1 mm) on a section of said ceramic layer is in a range of 1 to 10.

13. The thermal barrier coating material according to claim 1 , wherein the ceramic layer has a thickness of 0.05 mm to 1.5 mm.

14. The thermal barrier coating material according to claim 1 , wherein the ceramic layer has a thickness of 0.1 mm to 1.5 mm.

15. The thermal barrier coating material according to claim 1 , wherein said mixture is mixed with a binder or dispersant so as to form a slurry, the slurry is granulated to form particles having a mean particle diameter of 10 to 100 μm, and then the particles are heated at 1300 to 1600° C. for 1 to 10 hours.
