ASTERIXE - Development of advanced surface technology for extended resistance in extreme environment - ASTERIXE is aiming at developing innovative combined surface treatments promoting a technological breakthrough for high performances in the field of Environmental Barrier Coatings (EBC’s). These coatings play a key role in high temperature (>600°C), highly corrosive environments and high mechanical (and cumulative) stress conditions. The goal of the project is to open new routes of surface engineering by combining coating deposition and advanced post treatment technologies by pulsed e-beam (PEB). The understanding of the phenomena interacting on the coating composition and structure will be developed throughout the project with the creation and optimization of a model predicting the coating composition and structure after post treatment.

The coatings will be deposited by a range of different processes, electrochemical, spray or vapour deposition, the process choice being mainly dependent on the elemental composition needed to fulfill the application requirements. The pulsed e-beam treatment will be used to give the coating its final structure and morphology. This may for some applications involve interface melting promoting coating to base material alloying.
