Thermal barrier coating (TBC) system is an essential technology in many fields associated to
high temperatures. The main function of these TBCs is to protect the metallic parts against …

To understand the thermal insulation and failure problems of the thermal barrier coatings
(TBCs) deeply is vital to evaluate the reliability and durability of the TBCs. Actually …

This completely revised and expanded new edition covers the full range of techniques now
available for the investigation of materials structure and accurate quantitative determination …

Thermal shock test simulating aero-engine operating conditions was carried out on electron
beam physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD) yttria partially stabilized zirconia (YSZ) thermal …

In this study, the effect of laser glazing on the hot corrosion behavior of nanostructured
thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) was investigated. To this end, the hot corrosion test of …

In this contribution, NiCoCrAlYSiHf coatings were modified via high-current pulsed electron
beam (HCPEB) technique. The surface states (roughness and residual stress) and the …

High temperature fracture toughness and residual stress are important for the evaluation of
TBCs. In this paper, an in-situ high temperature indentation method was originally …

Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) have complex structures and service in the extremely high
temperatures. The cracking phenomenon is usually observed at both the top coat and the …

Using transmission electron microscopy, we investigate microstructural evolution at
interfaces of a plasma sprayed thermal barrier coating system with an yttria–stabilized …

In this study, a straightforward in-situ surface modification procedure was used to enhance
the interfacial adhesion of carbon fibre (CF)-reinforced polyphenylene sulfide (PPS). To do …
