This review critically examines the current understanding of calcia–magnesia–alumina–
silicate (CMAS) degradation mechanisms and mitigation approaches in thermal and …

Thermal barrier coating (TBC) specimens have been prepared by plasma spraying. A
vacuum plasma spray (VPS) MCrAlY bond coat and atmospheric plasma spray (APS) …

The suspension plasma spray (SPS) process was used to produce coatings from yttria-
stabilized zirconia (YSZ) powders with median diameters of 15 μm and 80 nm. The powder …

Quantitative microstructure characterization to better understand processing-microstructure-
property correlations is of considerable interest in plasma sprayed coating research. This …

For plasma sprayed thermal barrier coatings (TBCs), control of thermal conductivity is critical
since low thermal conductivity depends not only on the intrinsic property of the yttria …

The 25-year history and development of an ultra-small-angle X-ray scattering (USAXS)
instrument dedicated to serving materials research is presented and discussed. The …

Modelling of thermal conductivity of two and three phase composite materials is used to
determine the thermal conductivity of thick porous zirconia based thermal barrier coatings for …

The microstructures of plasma‐sprayed yttria‐stabilized zirconia (YSZ) coatings are
complex, contributing to challenges in establishing microstructure–thermal conductivity …

A comprehensive sintering mechanism for lamellar thermal barrier coatings was reported
experimentally and theoretically in this study. To begin with, an overall property evolution …
