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 …

The ceramic top coat has a major influence on the performance of the thermal barrier
coating systems (TBCs). Yttria-partially-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) is the top coat material …

For more than 6 decades, thermal barrier coatings have been used to protect structural parts
in both stationary and aviation gas turbines. These coatings allow the use of significant …

Improving efficiency of hot section components of aero engines such as turbine blades or
nozzle guide vanes is critical for the aircraft industry. Over many years, the development of …

Degradation of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) layers by molten CaO-MgO-Al 2 O 3-SiO 2
(CMAS)-based deposits is an important failure mode of thermal barrier coating (TBC) …

Nano-structured coatings should exhibit better properties than micro-structured coatings
because of a high volume fraction of internal interfaces. Since the mid-nineties a large body …

The paper aims at demonstrating various microstructures which can be obtained using the
suspension spraying technique and their respective significance in enhancing the thermal …

8 wt.% yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) is the standard ceramic top coat material used in gas
turbines to insulate the underlying metallic substrate. However, at higher temperatures (> …
