This review focuses on the recent development of iron (Fe)-based amorphous/
nanocrystalline composite coatings, which have attracted much attention due to their …

Fouling in gas turbines is caused by airborne contaminants which, under certain conditions,
adhere to aerodynamic surfaces upon impact. The growth of solid deposits causes …

Since the publication of the best-selling first edition, the growing price and environmental
cost of energy have increased the significance of tribology. Handbook of Lubrication and …

Most erosion–oxidation research has been directed at high erodent flux, low impact velocity
conditions typical of fluidised bed conditions. Few works have investigated erosion …

High entropy alloys (HEAs) are anticipated to be candidates for high-temperature
applications. In this work, high-speed laser cladding has prepared Al x CoCrFeNi 2.1 (1≤ …

The interaction between growing surface oxides and flowing liquid metals is of importance in
many high temperature applications such as coolant systems using liquid lead or lead …

Fouling affects gas turbine operation, and airborne or fuel contaminants, under certain
conditions, become very likely to adhere to surfaces if impact takes place. Particle sticking …

Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are primarily utilized to give thermal insulation to metallic
components like turbine blades, vanes, in gas turbines (GT) and in the different components …

Atmospheric plasma sprayed (APS) zirconium oxide based coatings are used widely in aero
engine components for providing thermal insulation, improving the corrosion and oxidation …

Due to the urgent demand for the development of new materials with high performance and
relatively low cost, materials with varying vanadium (V) and chromium (Cr) content were …
