Abstract

A heat-insulating layer system for a metallic structural component, especially for a structural component of a gas turbine such as an aircraft engine, includes an adhesion promoting layer ( 12 ), an inner contact layer ( 14 ), and an outer cover layer ( 15 ) , whereby the adhesion promoting layer ( 12 ). is disposed on a surface ( 11 ) of the gas turbine structural component ( 10 ). The inner contact layer ( 14 ) is formed of a zirconium oxide partially stabilized with yttrium or yttrium oxide, and the outer cover layer ( 15 ) is formed of a material that consists of at least one component with at least one phase, which stoichiometrically comprises 1 to 80 Mol-% Mx 2 O 3 , 0.5 to 80 Mol-% MyO and Al 2 O 3 as a remainder with incidental impurities, wherein Mx is selected from the elements chromium and barium or mixtures thereof, and wherein My is selected from the alkaline earth metals, the transition metals and the rare earths or mixtures thereof.

Claims (8)

1. Heat-insulating layer system for metallic structural components of a gas turbine, comprising an adhesion-promoting layer ( 12 ) adapted to be disposed on a surface ( 11 ) of a gas turbine structural component ( 10 ) , an inner contact layer ( 14 ) arranged on the adhesion-promoting layer ( 12 ), and an outer cover layer ( 15 ) arranged on the inner contact layer ( 14 ), characterized in that

a) the inner contact layer ( 14 ) is formed of a zirconium oxide partially stabilized with yttrium, yttrium oxide, calcium or magnesium, and

b) the outer cover layer ( 15 ) is formed of a material that consists of at least one component with at least one phase, which stoichiometrically comprises 1 to 80 Mol-% Mx 2 O 3 , 0.5 to 80 Mol-% MyO and Al 2 O 3 as a remainder with incidental impurities, wherein Mx is selected from the elements chromium and barium or mixtures thereof, and wherein My as selected from the alkaline earth metals, the transition metals and the rare earths or mixtures thereof.

2. Heat-insulating layer system according to claim 1 , wherein My is selected from the group consisting of magnesium, zinc, cobalt, manganese, iron, nickel, chromium, europium, samarium or mixtures thereof.

3. Heat-insulating layer system according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesion-promoting layer ( 12 ) is a metallic layer.

4. Heat-insulating layer system according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesion-promoting layer ( 12 ) is an aluminum layer or a platinum-aluminum layer or a MCrAlY-layer.

5. Heat-insulating layer system according to claim 1 , wherein the gas turbine structural component is a metallic component.

6. Combination of a structural component of a gas turbine with a heat-insulating layer system according to claim 1 .
