New, low mass, bond-coat technology for thermal barrier coating

To remain competitive, gas turbine manufacturers must aim for continuingly improved engine efficiencies and thrust-to-weight ratio. This has resulted in the design of gas turbines with increased turbine entry temperature (TET). Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are the most promising systems, which th...
