Abstract
A multilayer thermal barrier coating (TBC) having a low thermal conductivity that is maintained or even decreases as a result of a post-deposition high temperature exposure. The TBC comprises an inner layer and an insulating layer overlying the inner layer. The inner layer is preferably yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ), while the insulating layer contains barium strontium aluminosilicate (BSAS). After deposition, the TBC is heated to a temperature and for a duration sufficient to cause a decrease in the thermal conductivity of the BSAS-containing layer and, consequently, the entire TBC.
