1. A turbine blade tip and shroud clearance control coating system comprising:
a turbine blade, the turbine blade comprising a blade tip;
an abrasive grit coating disposed on the blade tip, the abrasive grit coating comprising an oxidation resistant bond coating and grit particles embedded into the oxidation resistant bond coating and grit particles embedded into the oxidation resistant bond coating, wherein the grit particles comprise abrasive crystalline particles of cubic zirconia, cubic hafnia or mixtures thereof;
a turbine shroud, the shroud comprising an inner surface, wherein the inner surface is in a rub relationship with the blade tip; and
a nanolaminate thermal barrier coating on the inner surface of the turbine shroud, the nanolaminate thermal barrier coating comprising alternating layers of a first material with a second material, the first material comprising stabilized zirconia, hafnia or mixtures thereof, and the second material comprising at least one metal oxide, wherein the nanolaminate thermal barrier coating comprises from about 5 wt % to about 70 wt % of the metal oxide and from about 30 wt % to about 95 wt % of stabilized zirconia, hafnia or mixtures thereof.
