Reactive Element Doped Bond Coat Alloys (Ti & Zr Doping)
- Detailed Technology Description
- UCLA researchers have developed a method to increase the adhesion of thermal barrier coatings (TBC) to substrates. One current limitation of TBCs is spallation, in which the TBC peels off of the underlying substrate. By doping the bond coat with zirconium or titanium, the oxide layer adheres more strongly to the bond coat. This technology has applications anywhere turbines need to operate at high temperatures, such as power plants and jet engines, making them more powerful, efficient, and durable.
