NiAlTa alloys were prepared to improve oxidation and hot corrosion resistance of single
crystal blade tips as well as the sealing performance of an engine. The oxidation and hot …

Failure of air plasma sprayed (APS) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) with a double-layered
bond coat was investigated. The bond coat consists of a dense layer near the substrate side …

Yttria-stabilized zirconia coatings were deposited by plasma spraying and heat-treated at
1100° C for 50, 100, 150, and 200 h in air, respectively. Mechanical properties including …

Porous dysprosium-stabilized zirconia (DySZ) based abradable coatings were fabricated on
DD5 superalloy by atmospheric plasma spraying technique (APS). The residual stress of the …

Black zirconia ceramics has many problems, such as uneven color and poor phase stability.
The reason for this phenomenon is that the colorant uses a colorant with a complex black …

A novel method for the analysis of multivariate Raman spectroscopy data is presented. The
method combines non‐negative matrix factorisation and principal component analysis …

Films and coatings have become widely used in structures and components to protect the
underlying material from mechanical degradation, corrosion, oxidation and high …

We have developed a method of directly measuring the strain gradient as a function of depth
in plasma sprayed Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBCs). A 92.8 keV monochromatic synchrotron …

In-depth temperature sensing in air plasma sprayed (APS) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs)
has been achieved with europium (Eu) and dysprosium (Dy) doped yttria stabilized zirconia …

An automated routine for the continuous calibration of thermographic phosphors was
developed as a replacement for the conventional calibration scheme that relied on fixed …
