This study describes development of high performance environmental barrier coating for steel in oxidizing and humidity environments at elevated temperature. Parameters like pre-treatment of the steel substrates, filler systems, particle size of the fillers or coating thickness were varied to optimize the coatings. The resulting coating investigated by TGA, SEM/EDS, and XRD to clarify the possible protective mechanism. Oxidation tests, adhesion tests, thermal shock resistance tests and humidity resistance tests were performed to evaluation the high performance of developed coatings.
