Thermal barrier coating (TBC) system is an essential technology in many fields associated to
high temperatures. The main function of these TBCs is to protect the metallic parts against …

The wear of components while they are in service is a predominant factor controlling the life
of machine components. Metal parts are often damaged because of wear-driven failures …

Thin-film coatings have been commonly used in the automotive industry for a variety of
applications. Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are designed to extend the life of combustors …

Cyclic oxidation of β-NiAl alloys doped with different reactive elements (REs) each of which
had an optimized concentration was investigated. All of REs effectively suppressed growth …

In this study, the influence of the deposition parameters on the coating structure during the
'quasi-PVD'process was investigated. This type of coating could be deposited at powder …

Cyclic oxidation of NiAl alloys doped by the elements of Sm, Gd, Yb, Sc, Nd, Nb and Ta was
investigated at 1200° C. All the dopants effectively reduced the oxidation rate. Sm, Gd and …

We investigate with first-principles density functional theory (DFT) the adhesion of the Al2O3
(0001)/NiAl (110) interface as a model for the thermally grown oxide/bond coat alloy …

The microstructure and cyclic oxidation behavior of minor Hf-doped NiAl alloys with addition
of different alloying elements including Mo, Ta, and Re were investigated. Co-precipitation of …

The cyclic oxidation behaviour of β-NiAlDy coatings produced by electron beam physical
vapour deposition (EB-PVD) was investigated. For the Dy-free NiAl coating, numerous voids …

High-temperature corrosion of critical components such as water walls and superheater
tubes in biomass/waste-fired boilers is a major challenge. A dense and defect-free thermal …
