Abstract
Improved thermal barrier coatings can lead to increased engine operating efficiency. A significant problem is that multilayer systems are not thermally stable at elevated temperatures. Phenomena such as interdiffusion, oxidation and sintering take place, limiting coating lifetime. In order to extend lifetimes and/or increase service temperatures several modifications can be made to coatingβsubstrate systems. Some solutions involve the utilization of the functionally graded material concept. In this paper, potential applications for functionally graded materials in thermal barrier coating systems are discussed, and research results are summarized providing an overview of the stateβofβtheβart.

## Abstract The efficiency and performance of advanced aircraft turbines can be markedly increased if higher gas temperatures are used. Although the highly loaded blades and vanes in the high pressure turbine are heavily cooled, today's substrate materials are unable to provide sufficient strength
Lanthanum hexaaluminate (LHA) is a promising competitor to Y-ZrO 2 -based thermal barrier coatings. A layered functionally graded alumina/lanthanum hexaaluminate with a gradient in composition was developed to control the microstructure of composite ceramics and adjusting the porosity upon, to arriv
