Abstract

An article includes a substrate and a bond coat disposed on the substrate. The bond coat includes a matrix, a plurality of gettering particles disposed in the matrix, a plurality of diffusive particles disposed in the matrix, a radiation-absorbing component disposed in the matrix, wherein the radiation-absorbing component is concentrated at an outer surface of the bond coat. An article and a method of protecting an article are also disclosed.

Claims (34)

1 . An article, comprising:

a substrate; and

a bond coat disposed on the substrate, the bond coat including:

a matrix;

a plurality of gettering particles disposed in the matrix;

a plurality of diffusive particles disposed in the matrix; and

a radiation-absorbing component disposed in the matrix, wherein the radiation-absorbing component is concentrated at an outer surface of the bond coat, and the radiation-absorbing component includes at least one of La 2 NiO 4 and LaFeO 3 .

2 . The article of claim 1 , wherein the at least some of the diffusive particles are the radiation-absorbing component.

3 . The article of claim 1 , wherein at least about 75% of the radiation-absorbing component is dispersed in the outer 25% of a thickness of the bond coat.

4 . The article of claim 1 , wherein the radiation-absorbing component includes a first material that absorbs radiation in a first range of wavelengths and a second material that absorbs radiation in a second range of wavelengths different from the first range.

5 . The article of claim 1 , wherein the radiation-absorbing component absorbs radiation in the infrared range.

6 . The article of claim 1 , further comprising an oxide-based topcoat interfaced with an outer surface of the bond coat.

7 . The article of claim 6 , wherein the topcoat includes the radiation-absorbing component.

8 . The article of claim 1 , wherein the substrate is a ceramic matrix composite.

9 . An article, comprising:

a substrate; and

a bond coat disposed on the substrate, the bond coat including:

a matrix;

a plurality of gettering particles disposed in the matrix;

a plurality of diffusive particles disposed in the matrix; and

an oxide-based topcoat interfaced with an outer surface of the bond coat, the topcoat including a radiation-absorbing component, and the radiation-absorbing component includes at least one of La 2 NiO 4 and LaFeO 3 .

10 . The article of claim 9 , wherein the radiation-absorbing component includes at least one of wherein the radiation-absorbing component includes at least one of transition metal oxides, phosphorescing rare earth ions, lanthanide metals, lanthanide metal oxides, lanthanide silicates, and alloys of rare-earth metals with lanthanide metals.

11 . The article of claim 9 , wherein the radiation-absorbing component includes a first material that absorbs radiation in a first range of wavelengths and a second material that absorbs radiation in a second range of wavelengths different from the first range.

12 . The article of claim 9 , wherein the radiation-absorbing component absorbs radiation in the infrared range.

13 . The article of claim 9 , wherein the topcoat includes an inner layer interfaced with the outer surface of the bond coat and an outer layer disposed on the inner layer, and wherein the outer layer includes the radiation-resistance component.

14 . The article of claim 9 , wherein the bond coat includes the radiation- resistance component disposed in the matrix.

15 . An article, comprising:

a substrate; and

a bond coat disposed on the substrate, the bond coat including:

a matrix;

a plurality of gettering particles disposed in the matrix;

a plurality of diffusive particles disposed in the matrix; and

a radiation-absorbing component disposed in the matrix, wherein the radiation-absorbing component includes a di-lanthanide nickelate.

16 . The article as recited in claim 15 , wherein the di-lanthanide nickelate is doped with an alkaline earth element.
