In the present paper, a complete literatures review of thermal barrier coating applications in diesel engines is performed to select a proper type and to find coating effects. The coating system has effects on the fuel consumption, the power and the combustion efficiency, pollution contents and the fatigue lifetime of engine components. Usually there are several beneficial influences by appl...

Suspension plasma spraying has become an emerging technology for the production of thermal barrier coatings for the gas turbine industry. Presently, though commercial systems for coating production are available, coatings remain in the development stage. Suitable suspension parameters for coating production remain an outstanding question and the influence of suspension properties on the final c...

Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) methods are being developed for ceramic thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) applied to components in the hot-gas path of advanced high-efficiency and low-emission gas turbines, including syn-gas fired turbines. The objectives of the NDE development are to assess TBC condition for quality control as well as to monitor TBC degradation and predict TBC life during servic...

The thermal cyclic behavior of self-healing barrier coatings (SH-TBC) is analyzed numerically to develop a lifetime prediction model. Representative microstructures are studied adopting unit cell based multiscale modeling approach along with simplified evolution model for the thermally-grown oxide layer (TGO) study damage and healing in TBC system. fracture process modeled using cohesive zone-b...
