Multilayer GZ/YSZ thermal barrier coating from suspension and solution precursor plasma spray (2023)
Journal Article

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.

SiC/YAG composite coatings by a novel liquid fuelled high velocity oxy-fuel suspension thermal spray (2023)
Journal Article

Despite recent advances in suspension-based thermal spray techniques, there is still a need to widen the capability of available thermal spray setups to handle suspension to explore new compositions and improve the properties and performance of exist...

Atmospheric plasma spraying of ytterbium disilicate for abradable and environmental barrier coatings: A story of processing-microstructure relationships (2023)
Journal Article

Environmental barrier coatings (EBCs) are required to protect SiC based composites in high temperature, steam containing combustion environments found in the latest generation of high efficiency gas turbine aeroengines. Ytterbium disilicate (YbDS) ha...
