Many factors influence the durability of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs), therefore, in order to
tailor these engineering materials for high-temperature applications, it is required to have a …

Dynamic wetting is a ubiquitous phenomenon and frequently observed in our daily life, as
exemplified by the famous lotus effect. It is also an interfacial process of upmost importance …

Volcanic ash is a major threat to aviation safety. The softening/melting temperatures of
volcanic ash lie far below typical aero‐engine operating temperatures. Thus, molten ash can …

Abstract Calcium-magnesium-alumina-silicate (CMAS) corrosion is an important cause for
thermal barrier coating (TBC) failure, which has attracted increased attentions. In this study …

This review critically examines the current understanding of calcia–magnesia–alumina–
silicate (CMAS) degradation mechanisms and mitigation approaches in thermal and …

Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) with higher rare earth (RE) contents are more resistant to
CaO-MgO-Al 2 O 3-SiO 2 (CMAS) attack due to their reaction to form apatite protective …

Degradation of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) layers by molten CaO-MgO-Al 2 O 3-SiO 2
(CMAS)-based deposits is an important failure mode of thermal barrier coating (TBC) …

Abstract Calcium-magnesium-alumina-silicate (CMAS) is a serious threat to thermal barrier
coatings (TBCs). The goal of this study is to tailor YSZ coating microstructures by laser for …

Abstract Calcium-magnesium-alumina-silicate (CMAS) attack is becoming a great challenge
for thermal barrier coating (TBC) applications. In this study, CMAS corrosion behavior of …

A novel tri-layer (Gd 0.9 Yb 0.1) 2 Zr 2 O 7/Yb 2 SiO 5/Si (GYbZ/YbMS/Si) thermal and
environmental barrier coatings (TEBCs) was first proposed for protecting SiC-based ceramic …
