Aero-engine is a key part of aircraft, the operating temperature of which is being pushed to
unprecedented levels for higher engine efficiency and performance. To accomplish higher …

Over the years, diffusion aluminide bond coats have been widely used for providing
oxidation resistance to Ni-base superalloy components of advanced gas turbine engines …

The aerospace field is traditionally strategic for the development of novel materials needed
for the specific requirements of aircraft structures and propulsion systems. A large number of …

Hot corrosion behaviors of Y, Hf-codoped Al x CoCrFeNi (Al x, x= 0.7, 1.0, and 1.3) high-
entropy alloys (HEAs) under Na 2 SO 4+ 25% NaCl molten salts at 900° C were investigated …

The spallation of thermal barrier coatings can be life-limiting but its prediction has proven to
be a difficult problem. The final spallation event can often occur by buckling and is driven by …

Progressive roughening (rumpling) of the surface of platinum-modified nickel aluminide
bond coats during cyclic oxidation at 1150° C is studied. A series of microstructural …

A single-phase (Ni, Pt) Al coating with lean addition of Zr was prepared by co-electroplating
of Pt-Zr composite plating and subsequent gaseous aluminization treatments. Isothermal …

Thermal barrier coatings (TBC) have been used in both aero engines and industrial gas
turbines for a few decades. However, the most commonly used MCrAlY bond coats which …

NiAl coatings doped with 0.5 at.% and 1.5 at.% Hf were produced by co-evaporation of NiAl
and Hf ingots by electron beam physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD), respectively. The …

Demand in clean alternative energy source together with fuel cells developments has
attracted researchers towards utilization of hydrogen (H 2). Common production of hydrogen …
