1 Introduction The development of gas turbine engines capable of higher operating temperatures has recently received significant attention in sectors, such as aerospace and energy generation. Ni-base superalloys are state-of-the-art for many high-temperature applications [1-3]. However, these alloys are reaching their maximum operating temperature limit, which leads to the search for materials [4].
Yttrium-silicates (Y2Si2O7 and Y2SiO5) are candidate environmental barrier coating (EBC) systems for silicon carbide ceramic matrix composites (SiC-CMCs). These materials' high-temperature, high-velocity steam, and siliceous debris resistance are well studied. However, Na2SO4-induced hot corrosion mechanisms are less understood. Free-standing atmospheric plasma sprayed Y2Si2O7 and Y2SiO5 coupons were exposed to 2.5 mg/cm2 of Na2SO4 at 825°C in 0.1% SO2-O2 (g).
