The performance of an internal combustion engine is affected when renewable biofuels are
used instead of fossil fuels in an unmodified engine. Various engine modifications were …

An overview of analytical and numerical methods for prediction of residual stresses in
thermal spray coatings is presented. The various sources and mechanisms underlying …

The single-ceramic-layer (SCL) 8YSZ (conventional and nanostructured 8YSZ) and double-
ceramic-layer (DCL) La2Zr2O7 (LZ)/8YSZ thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) were fabricated …

The goal of this paper is to determine both temperature and thermal stress distributions in a
plasma-sprayed magnesia-stabilized zirconia coating on an aluminum piston crown to …

In this paper, the residual stress of double-ceramic-layer (DCL) La2Zr2O7/8YSZ thermal
barrier coatings (TBCs) fabricated by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) was calculated by …

Metal-coated lattice structures hold significant promise for customizing mechanical
properties in diverse industrial applications, including the mechanical arms of unmanned …

Radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs) generate electrical power by converting the
heat released from the nuclear decay of radioactive isotopes (typically plutonium-238) into …

Nowadays, robot manipulators have already been widely used in thermal spraying. They
can be programmed in two ways: online and offline programming. The first programming …

In this study, pure HfO 2 and Pr 6 O 11-HfO 2 coatings were prepared by atmospheric
plasma spraying. The chemical compositions, morphologies, infrared radiation …

In this study, NiCr 2 O 4 coatings co-doped with metal borides MB x (M= V, Mo and Fe) and
MnO 2 were synthesized by atmospheric plasma spraying. The phase composition …
