The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to Solar Turbines, Inc. (Solar Turbines) to develop an yttrium aluminum garnet thermal barrier coating manufactured through a solution precursor plasma spray with a graded porosity microstructure for turbine outer air seals and combustor applications. All activities would occur at three different laboratories on the Storrs campus of the University of Connecticut and at Solar Turbines’ manufacturing facility in San Diego, CA.
