Patent attributes
An article may include a superalloy substrate and a calcia-magnesia-alumina-silicate (CMAS)-resistant thermal barrier coating (TBC) layer overlying the superalloy substrate. In some embodiments, the CMAS-resistant TBC layer includes between about 50 wt. % and about 90 wt. % of a TBC composition and between about 10 wt. % and about 50 wt. % of a CMAS-resistant composition. In some examples, the TBC composition includes at least one of yttria-stabilized zirconia, yttria-stabilized hafnia, zirconia stabilized with at least three rare earth oxides, or hafnia stabilized with at least three rare earth oxides. In some examples, the CMAS-resistant composition includes alumina, silica, and an oxide of at least one of Sc, Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Yb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Tb, or Lu.
