Summary • • Vapor deposition turbine EBCs developed with some confidence for
complex large vane components • An ERA turbine coating downselected and showed high stability and
long-term durability on state of the art SiC/SiC CMCs • The vapor based EBC processing approaches demonstrated vane
EBC composition realization, acceptable coating surface roughness and thickness controls
• Multiple advanced turbine environmental barrier coating coated SiC/SiC CMC vanes tested in engine relevant rig combustion environments, showing component viability and initial durability, demonstrating TRL of 5 under the NASA ERA program

• Conclusions • The EBC developments have major advances for turbine airfoil
applications in composition and processing with durability and performance
• Realistic impingement and film cooled vane component testing can be achieved in the High Pressure Burner Rig environments
• Turbine EBCs can help improve the turbine durability in the harsh engine environments, addressing key HPT turbine airfoil development issues, in particular, thermal stress resistance and environment related degradations in complex transient cyclic loading, creep and harsh combustion environments
• Coating process control for large airfoil components still need improvements
