Methods for making an environmental barrier coating using a sintering aid involving : applying a bond coat layer to the ceramic component; combining at least water, and a primary transition material selected from a rare earth disilicate, or a doped rare earth disilicate to produce a transition layer slurry; applying the transition layer slurry to the bon coat layer; drying the component having the applied transition layer slurry; infiltrating a sol-gel solution including an aqueous solution of a water soluble salt sintering aid, or an organic solvent solution of a solvent soluble salt sintering aid into the applied slurry; and sintering the component to produce the environmental barrier coating having at least the bond coat layer, and a transition layer wherein during sintering a reaction between the primary transition material and the sintering aid results in the transition layer having a porosity of from 0% to about 15% by volume of the transition layer.
