METHODS OF MANUFACTURING SILICA-FORMING ARTICLES HAVING ENGINEERED SURFACES TO ENHANCE RESISTANCE TO CREEP SLIDING UNDER HIGH-TEMPERATURE LOADING

摘要

A method of forming an article includes forming a silicon-containing layer on a silicon-containing region of a surface of a substrate of the article; forming a plurality of channels and ridges in the silicon-containing layer; and forming at least one outer layer overlying the surface of the silicon-containing region. The plurality of channels and ridges may be formed by adding silicon-containing material to the silicon-containing layer. The channels and ridges may be formed by subtracting material from the silicon-containing layer. The channels and ridges may be formed by forming channels or grooves in the silicon-containing region of the surface of the substrate prior to formation of the silicon-containing layer.
