ABSTRACTSi-based ceramics such as SiC require environmental barrier coatings to protect against hot-corrosion and recession in gas turbine applications. Dense, crystalline mullite coatings of uniform thickness have been deposited by hot-wall chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on SiC substrates, using the AlCl3-SiCl4-CO2-H2 system. The effects of the CVD deposition parameters such as temperature, total reactor pressure, and metal-chloride partial pressure on the coating microstructure and growth kinetics have been investigated, and are discussed in this paper.

Dense, uniform and crack-free mullite (3Al2O3·2SiO2) coatings were deposited on Sibased substrates by chemical vapor deposition using the AlCl3–SiCl4–H2–CO2 system. The coatings were compositionally graded, with the Al/Si ratio increasing towards the outer surface of the coatings for improved corrosion resistance. Mullite grains nucleated when the surface composition of the growing coating was in a narrow range close to that of stoichiometric mullite. The growth rate and crystal structure of mullite were dependent upon temperature, pressure, reactant concentration, and reactant ratios. The phase transformations occurring in these coatings during high-temperature anneals in the range 1100–1400 °C were studied.

Silicon-based ceramics and composites are one of the most promising candidates for high temperature structural components in next generation gas turbines due to their excellent thermo-mechanical properties. However, these materials severely degraded when used in high temperature oxidizing environments, particularly, in the presence of corrosive species such as alkali elements or water vapor. Currently, the most promising approach with near-term benefits is to employ environmental barrier coatings (EBCs) that prevent direct contact between silicon-based materials and aggressive environments exist in turbine engines. Previous work on EBCs has primarily focused on using oxide coatings because oxides are in general more resistant to corrosive environments than Silicon-based ceramics. In this study, we propose to develop polymer-derived SiAlCN amorphous ceramics for EBC applications. Our research revealed that the oxidation rate of the SiAlCN ceramics is about 10 times lower than the lowest values observed on chemical vapor deposition (CVD) silicon carbide/nitride. Furthermore, the SiAlCN also exhibited good corrosion resistance to alkali salt at elevated temperatures.

In this work, iron aluminide coatings were developed by Chemical Vapor Deposition in Fluidized Bed Reactor (CVD-FBR) on ferritic-martensitic steels. Small additions of zirconium powder were introduced in the fluidized bed; as a consequence, the obtained coatings are thicker than that without zirconium additions. When Zr powders are added in the fluidized bed, the deposition atmosphere drastically changes, leading to increase the deposition rate. Thermodynamic calculations were carried out to simulate the modifications in the CVD atmosphere in the Al/Zr deposition system in comparison to the single aluminization. In order to optimize the conditions of the deposition, parameters such as temperature and concentration of zirconium introduced into the bed were evaluated and compared with the results obtained for the single aluminum deposition.
