Contemporary gas turbine engines rely on thermal barrier coatings (TBCs), which protect the structural components of the engine against degradation at extremely high operating temperatures (1300–1500 °C). The operational efficiencies of aircraft engi... Read More about Processing-Microstructure-Properties of Columns in Thermal Barrier Coatings: A Study of Thermo-Chemico-Mechanical Durability.

Tailoring the in-situ formation of intermetallic phases in the self-lubricating Al-WS2 composite for enhanced tribological performance with wear track evolution analysis (2023)
Journal Article
Li, P., Aboulkhair, N. T., Wu, J., Leng, K. L., Yang, D., Clare, A. T., Hou, X., & Xu, F. (2023). Tailoring the in-situ formation of intermetallic phases in the self-lubricating Al-WS2 composite for enhanced tribological performance with wear track evolution analysis. Journal of Materials Research and Technology, 27, 4891-4907

Self-lubricating aluminium matrix composites with enhanced tribological properties are sought for weight critical applications. In previous studies, the Al composites incorporating the solid lubricant WS2 have been shown to reduce both the coefficien...

Multilayer GZ/YSZ thermal barrier coating from suspension and solution precursor plasma spray (2023)
Journal Article
Leng, K., Romero, A. R., Curry, N., & Hussain, T. (2024). Multilayer GZ/YSZ thermal barrier coating from suspension and solution precursor plasma spray. Ceramics International, 50(1, Part A), 631-649. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ceramint.2023.10.142

Gas turbines rely on thermal barrier coating (TBC) to thermally insulate the nickel-based superalloys underneath during operation; however, current TBCs, yttria stabilised zirconia (YSZ), limit the operating temperature and hence efficiency. At an op... Read More about Multilayer GZ/YSZ thermal barrier coating from suspension and solution precursor plasma spray.
