Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an environmental barrier coating for protecting CMC (ceramic matrix composite) from a high temperature water vapor environment present in a gas turbine engine. SOLUTION: The environmental barrier coating 12 is made through processes: mixing at least water, and a primary transition material selected from mullite, BSAS, or a mullite/BSAS mixture to produce a transition layer slurry; applying the transition layer slurry to a ceramic component 10; mixing at least water, and a primary outer material of BSAS to produce an outer layer slurry; applying the outer layer slurry to the component having the applied transition layer slurry; and sintering the component to produce the environmental barrier coating having at least a transition layer 16 and an outer layer 18, wherein after at least one of the transition layer slurry or the external layer slurry is applied, the component is dried, and a sol-gel solution is infiltrated into at least one layer, and the transition layer has a porosity of 0 to about 30% by volume, and the outer layer has a porosity of 0 to about 15% by volume.
