Thermal barrier effect of the YSZ refractory ceramic layer significantly reduces Ti alloy temperature, and oxygen barrier effect prevents active Ti from directly contacting oxygen during the entire ablation process. Therefore, the two barrier effects effectively prevent occurrence of titanium fire. In addition, dissolution of the Ni-based abradable seal coating makes burning TC4 molten droplet extinguished in a short time, thus further inhibiting titanium fire ignition.
