Popis: Silicon nitride ceramic vanes coated with chemical vapor-deposited (CVD) mullite, CVD alumina, and plasma-sprayed tantalum oxide were exposed to field tests in an industrial gas turbine engine. Results varied due to expected non-uniformities in the CVD coating microstructures, but dense CVD mullite/alumina showed excellent stability and protective capacity after 1148 h of engine testing. Surfaces without CVD coatings experienced massive intragranular subsurface oxidation and/or rapid recession of the ceramic substrate due to volatilization of silica species formed by oxidation. These results suggest that thin (
