Abstract:
An article including a substrate and a plurality of coatings disposed on the substrate is presented. The plurality of coatings includes a thermal barrier coating disposed on the substrate; and a protective coating including a calcium-magnesium-aluminum-silicon-oxide (CMAS)-reactive material disposed on the thermal barrier coating. The CMAS-reactive material includes an NZP-type material. The CMAS-reactive material is present in the plurality of coatings in an effective amount to react with a CMAS composition at an operating temperature of the thermal barrier coating, thereby forming a reaction product having one or both of melting temperature and viscosity greater than that of the CMAS composition. A method of making the article and a related turbine engine component are also presented.

Abstract:
Articles, such as components for high temperature turbomachinery components, include one or more coatings bearing certain perovskite compositions resistant to incursion by liquid calcium-magnesium-aluminum-silicon-oxide (CMAS) materials during service. The CMAS-reactive material includes a perovskite-structured oxide, which comprises a) a rare earth element, b) niobium, tantalum or a combination of tantalum and niobium, and c) oxygen. The CMAS-reactive material is present in an effective amount to react with a CMAS composition at an operating temperature, thereby forming a reaction product having one or both of melting temperature and viscosity greater than that of the CMAS composition.

Abstract:
The present application provides for ceramic collars and metal rings for active brazing in sodium-based thermal batteries. The ceramic collar may be an alpha-alumina collar configured for active brazing, and thereby sealing, to outer and inner Ni rings for use in NaMx cells. The portions of the alpha-alumina collar active brazed to the outer and inner Ni rings may be outwardly facing and include inwardly extending recesses. The portions of the outer and inner Ni rings active brazed to the outwardly facing portions of the collar may be inwardly facing. The alpha-alumina collar may include a greater coefficient of thermal expansion than each of the outer and inner Ni rings, and the alpha-alumina collar and outer and inner Ni rings may be configured such that a portion of the outer and inner Ni rings is deformed into the inwardly extending recesses of the alpha-alumina collar after active brazing thereof.
