Abstract The TiAlSiN/Cr multilayer coatings with different thicknesses of chromium (Cr)
layers were designed and prepared by high power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) …

This study attempted to investigate the effect of coating porosity on the ability to protect the
substrate from corrosion and the combined action mechanism of corrosion and erosion …

Reciprocating compressors hold great promise for enhanced efficiency across a wide variety
of microscale and macroscale systems. This article investigates the potential of isothermal …

This research study presents a novel application of a quantitative phase microscopy
technique, spectral modulation interferometry (SMI), for in situ nanoscale characterization of …

Sand and dust particle ingestion is an inevitability for aircraft operating in arid environments.
For conventional takeoff and landing aircraft, significant dust can be ingested into the gas …

A key application of CUSTOM 450 alloy is in the construction of gas turbine compressor
blades. The study of pitting corrosion can prevent the failure of many gas turbine compressor …

This paper presents the results of measurements of the solid particle concentration field near
a frontal point of a cylindrical body with a flat end. We restore the particle concentration fields …

Aviation and ground compressors are susceptible to the erosion of hard particles in the
sandy environment, leading to lower performance and shorter service life of the equipment …

Severe localized serious cracks of 0Cr17Ni4Cu4Nb alloy turbine blades after years of
service are analyzed by means of the macro-morphology, micro-morphology (SEM) and …
