摘要

Environmental barrier coatings (EBCs) consisting of a tri-layer structure (Si/mullite/Yb2SiO5) were prepared on SiC/SiC ceramic matrix composite (CMC). For decreasing the degradation of water-oxygen corrosion of SiC/SiC CMC, a novel EBCs fabrication method of plasma spray-physical vapor deposition (PS-PVD) was proposed in this work. Prior to EBCs preparation, agglomerated Yb2SiO5 powders was fabricated by spray dryer. After that, dense EBCs were fabricated by PS-PVD technique, where the Yb2SiO5 coating with laminar and columnar composited structure was achieved. And the deposition diagram of this special structure was presented. Besides, the thermal cycle performance of PS-PVD EBCs was tested from 1300oC to room temperature in water. Results show that no apparent spallation appears after 30 cycles, indicating that the EBCs have a good thermal shock performance.
