Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is a kind of functional ceramic material with excellent
physical and chemical properties. This paper analyzes it from the aspects of mechanical …

Modern aero and stationary gas turbine engines have been designed with much higher
compressor-pressure ratios and thrust-weight ratios than earlier models, and these ratios …

The efficiency of gas turbine engines can significantly be enhanced by reducing the
clearance between stationary and rotating parts. AlSi-polymer composite abradable …

Aluminum-based composite abradable seal coatings are pivotal to improving the efficiency
of aero engines or gas turbines. However, the adhesive transfer frequently occurs between …

The structure and performance characteristics of nickel-coated graphite composite powder
(NCG) are outlined. Several commonly used methods for preparing NCG, including …

Reliable service of indispensable titanium alloys in aeroengines is limited by the bottleneck
problem of titanium fires. In this study, a tri-layer fire retardant coating with a bi-functional …

To gain high efficiency and low fuel consumption, aluminum-based abradable seal coatings
had been widely used in the compressor casing of aero engines or gas turbines owing to the …

Currently, most thermal spray coating service providers expect original equipment
manufacturers (OEMs) to suggest the coating recipe, comprising of the right coating …

Tribology is an unfamiliar term for many, but is experienced by all. It is the science of friction,
wear and lubrication of contacting surfaces in relative motion. The aim of this book is to …

To improve the aero-engine compressor efficiency and reliability, abradable seal coatings
need to have good abradability resulting from reduced hardness. However, low hardness is …
