Abstract

Volcanic ash ingested by jet engines can damage conventional Y 2O3-stablized ZrO2 thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) used to protect engine parts in the hot section. Newer TBCs, one based on Gd2Zr2O7 and another composed of ZrO 2 solid solution containing Y2O3, Al 2O3, and TiO2, are found to be highly resistant to such damage from Eyjafjallajökull volcano ash.
