Metallic alloys' behavior at high temperatures, especially their response to corrosion and
formation of protective surface layers, has long been a focus of scientific inquiry. Although …

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 thermal cyclic durability of a TBC is thought to be strongly dependent on the physical
and mechanical properties of the bond coat layer. A novel high temperature microsample …

High-temperature degradation of the plasma sprayed 16 mol% TaO 2.5+ 16 mol% YO 1.5 co-
stabilized ZrO 2 (YTZ) and YSZ (7.6 wt% Y 2 O 3-stabilized ZrO 2) coatings under calcium …

Thermal barrier coatings (TBC) are used to protect hot path components of gas turbines from
hot combustion gases. For a number of decades, in the case of aero engines TBCs are …

The increasing turbine inlet temperatures in modern gas turbines have raised concerns
about the corrosion of ceramic thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) caused by molten silicate …

Microstructural changes, damage initiation and spallation of thermal barrier coatings (TBC),
which were deposited by air plasma spraying (APS) and consisting of ZrO2–7 wt …

Models that characterize the displacement instability of the thermally grown oxide (TGO)
found in some thermal barrier systems are reviewed, consolidated and extended. It is …

In the past decades, the durability of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) has been extensively
studied. The majority of researches emphasized the problem of oxidation, corrosion, and …

Thick thermal barrier coating (TTBC) having segmentation-crack structure is favorable to its
durability under severe thermal shock conditions. The present study reports the results of a …
