Mass Transfer in Yb Silicate Environmental Barrier Coatings at High Temperatures

Article Preview

Abstract:

The oxygen permeabilities of polycrystalline Yb2Si2O7 wafers cut from sintered bodies to serve as models of environmental barrier coatings were determined at temperatures up to 1673 K under various oxygen potential gradients (dµO), produced by exposing the upper and lower surfaces of the wafer to atmospheres with different oxygen partial pressures (PO2). Oxygen permeation proceeded via grain boundary (GB) diffusion of oxygen from the higher PO2 surface to the lower PO2 surface, concurrently with GB diffusion of ytterbium in the opposite direction. Mass transfer analysis allowed for a design guideline for selectively enhancing the structural stability of the ytterbium silicate layer with applying a dµO.
