The invention relates to a coated turbine component adapted for exposure
to a hot gas flow, comprising a component body comprising a base
material, a thermal barrier coating applied to the base material, and a
thermographic phosphor arranged within, on or beneath the thermal barrier
coating surface adapted to emit light corresponding to a temperature of
the thermographic phosphor. The invention also relates to a method for
producing a coated turbine component comprising applying a first thermal
barrier coating containing an activator to a component body base
material, the activator providing the thermal barrier layer coating with
thermographic properties such that light is emitted corresponding to a
temperature of the thermographic phosphor, applying a second thermal
barrier coating that does not contain the activator on top of the first
thermal barrier coating, and removing a portion of the second thermal
barrier coating to expose the thermographic phosphor layer underlying the
second thermal barrier coating. The invention also relates to a method
for producing a coated turbine component comprising applying a thermal
barrier coating to a component body, trenching the thermal barrier
coating to form a base at the bottom of the trench and applying a
thermographic phosphor to the base of the trench.
