The ignition temperature, burnout and NO emissions of blends of a semi-anthracite and a high-volatile bituminous coal with 10 and 20 wt.% of olive waste were studied under oxy-fuel combustion conditions in an entrained flow reactor (EFR). The results obtained under several oxy-fuel atmospheres (21%O2-79%CO2, 30%O2-70% CO2 and 35%O265%CO2) were compared with those attained in air. The results in...

Abstract In this investigation, atmospheric plasma spray (APS) and high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) techniques were used to produce AlCoCrFeNi coatings. High-entropy alloys (HEAs), due their mechanical, chemical, physical properties are capturing the attention of international scientific community. Starting feedstock powders characterized in terms size, phase, corrosion test NaCl, ball on disk, ru...

Rare earth elements have been widely utilized in material manufacturing to enhance properties various ways. In order obtain the WC-10Co4Cr coating with uniform distribution of rare earths, CeO2-modified powder was prepared by mixing 1 wt.% nano-sized CeO2 during initial ball-milling fabrication process. Bare and coatings were deposited via high velocity oxygen fuel spraying investigate impact m...

In recent years, coating processes based on the impact of high-velocity solid particles such as cold spraying and aerosol deposition have been developed and attracting much industrial attention. A novel coating process called 'warm spraying' has been developed, in which coatings are formed by the high-velocity impact of solid powder particles heated to appropriate temperatures below the melting...

Abstract Driven by the search for an optimum combination of particle velocity and process temperature to achieve dense hard metal coatings at high deposition efficiencies powder feed rates, high-velocity air-fuel spraying (HVAF) was developed. In terms achievable velocities temperatures, this can be classified between oxy-fuel (HVOF) cold gas (CGS). The particular advantages HVAF regarding mode...

The thermal reactivity and kinetics of five coal chars, a biomass char, and two coal/biomass char blends in an oxy-fuel combustion atmosphere (30%O2-70%CO2) were studied using the non-isothermal thermogravimetric method at three heating rates. Fuel chars were obtained by devolatilization in an entrained flow reactor at 1273 K under N2 and CO2 atmospheres.Three nth-order representative gas-solid...

High velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) is one of the emerging technologies among the thermal spraying techniques, for producing uniform and dense coatings, having high hardness and very low porosity. A NiCrBSi alloy coating was prepared with approximately 400µm thick, on the A516 steel by means of HVOF and was analyzed with regard to its detailed microstructures, phase formation, thickness, roughness an...
