Abstract
Thermal stability of a synthetic sand composition, which was developed as a simulant for calcium–magnesium aluminosilicate (CMAS) turbine deposits, was characterized using thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA). The sand was melted into CMAS glass, which had a composition of 23.3CaO–6.4MgO–3.1Al2O3–62.5SiO2–4.1Na2O–0.5K2O–0.04Fe2O3 (mol.%), determined by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES). Bulk density of the glass was measured to be 2.63g/cm3, and the Young's and shear moduli were 84.3GPa and 33.6GPa, respectively, along with a Poisson's ratio of 0.26. Vickers microhardness and indentation fracture toughness were determined to be 6.14±0.1GPa and 0.70±0.05MPam1/2, respectively. Glass transition temperature, softening point and coefficient of thermal expansion of the glass were measured by dilatometry. Glass viscosities were estimated over a temperature range of 600–1500°C using dilatometric reference points of the glass and from composition-based methods. Times required for infiltration of molten CMAS glass into thermal or environmental barrier coatings were also estimated.
