The increasing demand for more efficient and environmental-friendly gas turbines has
driven the development of new strategies for material development. SiC/SiC ceramic matrix …

Due to drastic decreasing in mechanical properties at relative high temperature, traditional
nickel based super alloys are replaced by Si-based non-oxide ceramics in the application of …

Spallation of environmental barrier coating (EBC) induced by thermally grown oxide (TGO)
resulting from steam oxidation is a key EBC failure mode. A logical approach to improve …

The energy transition is growly rapidly. Yet, energy security and sustainability are still global
concerns. The transition from fossil based, eg, gas, to renewables, eg, wind, hence, require …

The need for higher efficiencies and performance in gas-turbine engines that propel aircraft
in the air, and generate electricity on land, is pushing the operating temperatures of the …

This work explores the possibility of tailoring the thermal conductivity and thermal expansion
of rare earth monosilicates through the introduction of multiple rare earth cations in solid …

SiC composites, when used in water vapor rich combustion environments, are vulnerable to
volatilization of their protective SiO 2 surface oxide by reaction with water vapor, and are …

Modern gas turbines rely on ceramic coatings to protect structural components along the hot
gas path. These coatings are susceptible to accelerated degradation caused by silicate …

There are many sets of information in the literature (eg, papers, books and websites) about
the great achievements that are expected for aerospace gas turbine engines by the …

Water-vapor corrosion behavior of Yb 2 SiO 5/MoSi 2-Mullite double-layer environmental
barrier coating on Nb based alloy at 1500° C was investigated systematically. Initially, the …
