The present paper is a narrative review focused on a few important aspects and moments of
trends surrounding materials and methods in sustainable nuclear energy, as an expression …

Mild steel was coated by hot-dipping into molten baths containing pure aluminum, Al–0.5 Si,
Al–2.5 Si, Al–5Si and Al–10Si (wt.%) at 700° C for 180s. Silicon's effect on the formation of …

Molten nitrate salts (KNO 3–NaNO 3) are used extensively as heat transfer fluids in
concentrated solar power (CSP) applications. The oxidative character of nitrate salts at high …

The service damage mechanism of K403 Ni-based superalloy turbine blade with the
aluminized coating are investigated systematically. Fracture morphologies are inspected …

Iron-and Ni-base alloys, with and without Hf or Hf and Y alloy additions, were aluminized by
chemical vapor deposition to study the potential for minor alloy additions to improve …

Hot tensile tests of boron steels with and without an Al–Si coating were performed using a
Gleeble 3500 test system, at temperatures of 700–850° C and strain rates of 0.01–1/s. The …

A low-temperature aluminizing process involving a surface slurry pre-coating and powder
embedded aluminizing process, with AlCl 3 as the chosen activator, was developed to avoid …

A summary of a recent symposium on diffusion coatings, by one of the contributors. A thin
layer of material may be bonded to a base metal or component by heat/chemical treatment …

The corrosion performance of water-based slurry aluminide coatings elaborated on iron-and
nickel-based materials is investigated in molten chlorides as candidate heat transfer fluids …

Accelerated fatigue failure mechanisms of aluminized Ni-based superalloy turbine blades
are the focused in this paper. The qualitative and quantitative analyses on the fracture …
