Thermal barrier coating for edge component
A ceramic matric composite (CMC) component for a gas turbine engine, such as blade outer air seal (BOAS), may be shielded from thermal stress. The CMC component includes a first surface configured for exposure to a hot gas stream, a second surface configured for exposure to a cold gas stream, an edge surface of the CMC component disposed between and connecting the first and second surfaces. At least one coating layer is disposed on the first surface and wrapped over the edge surface and the second surface, wherein the at least one coating layer disposed on the second surface has a lower thermal conductivity than the CMC component so as to reduce a thermal gradient between the cooled first surface and the heated second surface.
