<p>Methods for making an environmental barrier coating using a sintering aid involving applying a bond coat layer to the ceramic component; combining at least an organic solvent, a primary transition material selected from a rare earth disilicate, or a doped rare earth disilicate, and at least one slurry sintering aid to produce a transition layer slurry; combining at least an organic solvent, and a primary outer material selected from a rare earth monosilicate or a doped rare earth monosilicate to produce an outer layer slurry; combining at least an organic solvent, and a primary compliant material comprising BSAS or a rare earth doped BSAS to produce a compliant layer slurry; applying at least the transition layer slurry, and any one or more of the outer layer slurry, and the compliant layer slurry to the component; and sintering the component to produce the environmental barrier coating having at least the bond coat layer, a transition layer and any of an outer layer or a compliant layer whereby a reaction between the primary materials and the slurry sintering aid results in the transition layer having a porosity of from 0% to about 15% by volume of the transition layer, the outer layer having a porosity of from 0% to about 30% by volume of the outer layer, and the compliant layer having a porosity of from about 0% to about 30% by volume of the compliant layer.</p> |
