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

Functionally gradient materials (FGM) have gradual variations in their properties along one
or more dimensions due to local compositional or structural distinctions by design …

Today's competitive world economy is creating an indispensable demand for increased
efficiency of engineering components that operate in harsh environments (ie, very high …

Abstract In memory of John Stringer (1934–2014), one of the leaders in studying the reactive
element (RE) effects, this paper reviews the current status of understanding of the effect of …

Starting from first-principles projector-augmented wave method, finite temperature
thermodynamic properties of Ni and Ni3Al, including thermal expansion coefficient, bulk …

This paper describes the manufacturing method and properties of a superalloy as a gas
turbine blade material and a thermal barrier coating to protect it. The development process …

Abstract Calcium-magnesium-alumino-silicate (CMAS) corrosion is a critical factor which
causes the failure of thermal barrier coating (TBC). CMAS attack significantly alters the …

A systematic study of stacking fault energy (γ SF) resulting from induced alias shear
deformation has been performed by means of first-principles calculations for dilute Ni-base …

Yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are used to protect hot-
components in aero-engines from hot gases. In this paper, the microstructure and thermo …

Grain boundary (GB) corrosion of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) under calcium-magnesium-
alumino-silicates (CMAS) attack was investigated. Dense YSZ ceramics with YO 1.5 …
