428448, 416241 B, 415119, 60753, 60740, 428446
Abstract:
A coating material suitable for use in high temperature environments and capable of providing a damping effect to a component subjected to vibration-induced stresses. The coating material defines a damping coating layer of a coating system that lies on and contacts a substrate of a component and defines an outermost surface of the component. The coating system includes at least a second coating layer contacted by the damping coating layer. The damping coating layer contains a ferroelastic ceramic composition having a tetragonality ratio, c/a, of greater than 1 to 1.02, where “c” is a c axis of a unit cell of the ferroelastic ceramic composition and “a” is either of two orthogonal axes, a and b, of the ferroelastic ceramic composition.
