Thermal spraying has been present for over a century, being greatly refined and optimized
during this time. It has become nowadays a reliable and cost-efficient method to deposit …

Thermal spray coatings are material systems with unique structures and properties that have
enabled the growth and evolution of key modern technologies (ie, gas turbines, structurally …

Sc was doped into Gd2Zr2O7 for expanding the potential for thermal barrier coating (TBC)
applications. The solid solution mechanism of Sc in the Gd2Zr2O7 lattice, and the …

Abstract Dense, crack-free, uniform, and well-adhered environmental barrier coatings
(EBCs) are required to enhance the environmental durability of silicon (Si)-based ceramic …

With the rising demands of industry to increase the working temperature of gas turbine
blades and internal combustion engines, thermal barrier coatings (TBC) were found to be an …

YSZ thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are vulnerable to calcium-magnesium-alumina-silicate
(CMAS) attack, and a CMAS resistant TBC of Sc doped Gd 2 Zr 2 O 7/YSZ are developed in …

Fracture toughness of thermal barrier coatings (TBC s) has gained significant interest in
recent years as one of the dominant design parameters dictating selection of materials and …

The quest for increased performance in the aeronautical and aerospace industries has
provided the driving force and motivation for the research, investigation, and development of …

Rare earth zirconates have lower thermal conductivity, better phase stability, improved
sintering resistance and CMAS (calcium magnesium alumino silicates) infiltration resistance …

This paper studies how the nano-mechanical properties of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs)
vary during thermal cycling, as a way to shed new light on their failure mechanisms. In …
