Abstract

A rotor blade is for a gas turbine engine having a plurality of rotor blades and a substantially coaxial shroud encompassing the tips of the blades. A ceramic layer is bonded to the blade tip, the ceramic layer consisting of a combination of aluminum oxide and zirconium oxide or at least partially stabilized zirconium oxide. The ceramic layer is formed as a plasma sprayed coating or a high velocity oxy-fuel sprayed coating.
