Gas turbines are subject of intense research and development in order to meet increasing demands on fuel efficiency, reduction of emissions, or enhanced power. One of the major keys is improving the thermal efficiency by increased gas temperature within the turbine. In the hot turbine section, nickel-based superalloy components with thermal barrier coatings are utilized, which are still being refined and improved. Nevertheless, in order to significantly increase temperature capability and turbine efficiency, silicon-based non-oxide ceramics are being investigated and introduced as new base materials, allowing for lower-weight components operating at elevated temperatures. Severe weight losses due to water vapor …
