Abstract
A method of fabricating a coating includes providing a ceramic matrix composite that includes SiC fibers disposed in a SiC matrix, depositing a base slurry on the ceramic matrix composite, wherein the base slurry contains powders of a metal oxide, at least one of silicon carbide, silicon nitride, or free silicon, and barium-magnesium-aluminosilicate in a first carrier fluid, drying the deposited base slurry to produce a base green layer, depositing a transition slurry on the base green layer, wherein the transition slurry contains powders of a metal oxide, at least one of silicon carbide, silicon nitride, or free silicon, at least one of zirconium carbide, zirconium nitride, or zirconium oxide, and barium-magnesium-aluminosilicate in a second carrier fluid, drying the deposited transition slurry to produce a transition green layer, and forming a consolidated coating on the ceramic matrix composite by heating the base green layer and the at least one transition green layer to cause chemical reactions that convert the powders to metal-silicon-oxygen rich phase and metal-zirconium-oxygen rich phase.
