Coatings with micro-or nano-scaled structure are always fabricated by various techniques to
fulfill the requirements of unique performances according to special working conditions. The …

Metallic alloys' behavior at high temperatures, especially their response to corrosion and
formation of protective surface layers, has long been a focus of scientific inquiry. Although …

Fine grains and slow grain growth rate are beneficial to preventing the thermal stress-
induced cracking and thermal conductivity increase of thermal barrier coatings. Inspired by …

Gas-turbine engines used in transportation, energy, and defense sectors rely on high-
temperature thermal-barrier coatings (TBCs) for improved efficiencies and power. The …

Two MCrAlY coatings with the same nominal composition, but different microstructures are
deposited onto Hastelloy® X superalloy substrates by low-pressure plasma spraying (LPPS) …

A comprehensive and integrated review of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) applied to turbine
components is provided. Materials systems, processes, applications, durability issues …

Rare-earth tantalates and niobates (RE 3 TaO 7 and RE 3 NbO 7) have been considered as
promising candidate thermal barrier coating (TBC) materials in next generation gas-turbine …

A preliminary study of a promising bi-layer environmental barrier coating (EBC) designed to
reduce the susceptibility of SiC composites to hot water vapor erosion is reported. The EBC …

Hundreds of different types of coatings are used to protect a variety of structural engineering
materials from corrosion, wear, and erosion, and to provide lubrication and thermal …

This work focuses on phase, thermo-physical property, microstructure, lifetime, and failure
behaviour of GdZrPrO/YSZ/NiCoCrAlYHf TBCs by EB-PVD. The thermal property of GdZrPrO …
