Abstract:
1. A method of coating a surface of a substrate, said method comprising: applying a bond coat onto the surface of the substrate; applying a thermal barrier coating (TBC) system over at least a portion of the bond coat, such that the TBC system has a predetermined TBC system thickness; applying a first TBC comprising a thermal conductivity k applying a second TBC comprising a thermal conductivity k determining what a first TBC system thickness for the TBC system would be if the first thickness L determining what a first TBC system thermal conductivity value k for the TBC system would be if the first thickness L using the determined first TBC system thermal conductivity value to select a second thermal conductivity value for the TBC system, wherein the second thermal conductivity value of the TBC system is substantially equal to the determined first TBC system thermal conductivity value; and selecting a thickness L
