Self-healing capacity of Mullite-Yb₂SiO₅ environmental barrier coating material with embedded Ti₂AlC MAX phase particles

Repetitive heating and cooling cycles inevitably cause crack damage of hot gas components of gas turbine engines, such as blades and vanes. In this study the self-healing capacity is investigated of mullite + ytterbium monosilicate (Yb₂SiO₅) as EBC material with Ti₂AlC MAX phase particles embedded as a crack...
