Functionally graded materials offer potential as a solution to the premature failure of thermal
barrier coatings due to thermal residual stresses, however this solution has not been fully …

To improve the wear resistance of aluminium alloys, an Al/316L stainless-steel composite
coating was successfully prepared on an aluminium alloy surface by two-channel …

In this work, the eXtended finite element method (XFEM) is implemented for the multiphysics
analysis of edge dislocations near a heterostructure (bi-material) interface with nonuniform …

A new method for improving the adhesion of thermally sprayed metal-ceramic coatings is
proposed. Experimental results show that an in-situ Al 2 O 3 layer formed between the …

Improving the energy efficiency of advanced ultra-supercritical power plants, by increasing
steam operating temperature up to 700° C, can be achieved, at reduced cost, by using novel …

This work used the in-situ synthesis of molten-state nitride ceramic phase-reinforced Ni-
based alloy coatings, aiming to improve the phase-interface bonding through the …

Thermal barrier coatings play crucial roles in protecting the hot end components of aero-
engines against high-temperature erosion. They must suffer extremely harsh environments …

Improving the energy efficiency of power plants by increasing steam operating temperature
up to 700° C can be achieved using novel engineering design concepts such as coated …

Ferroelectric ceramic with negative thermal expansion during the phase transformation from
T-phase to C-phase can be used as reinforcement to obtain low thermal expansion metal …

A heterogeneous lattice material composed of different cells is proposed to improve the
energy absorption capacity. The heterogeneous structure is formed by setting layers of body …
