In this research, novel functionally graded Ni-P coating was deposited with electroless process. The content of phosphorus was controlled to change gradual through the thickness of the coating. During the plating, bath temperature and pH were changed at specified intervals to obtain functionally graded structure. To compare the properties of functionally graded coating with Ni-P single-layer co...

In this study, functionally graded Ni-Al2O3 composite coating (FGN-A) has been produced from nickel Watt’s bath containing different concentrations of Al2O3 particles. For this, different composite coatings were electroplated in the same bath with different particles concentration to find the optimum concentration of particles in which the maximum content with uniform distribution of Al2O3 part...

The concept of functionally graded material (FGM) is currently actively explored in coating design for the purpose of eliminating the mismatch of thermomechanical properties at the interfaces and thus increasing the resistance of coatings to functional failure. In the present paper, three-dimensional elastic deformation of a functionally graded coating/substrate system of finite thickness subje...

This paper presents new exact 3-D (three-dimensional) elasticity closed-form solutions for out-of-plane free vibration of thick rectangular single layered FG (functionally graded) plates and thick rectangular homogeneous plate coated by a functionally graded layer with simply supported boundary conditions. It is assumed that the plate is on a Winkler-Pasternak elastic foundation and elasticity ...

 In this research, a numerical modeling was utilized to calculate the stresses caused during thermal cycling in a functionally graded thermal barrier coating (FG - TBC). The temperature – dependent material response of this protective material was taken into account and the effects of thermal cycle and interface morphology of the ceramic / metallic layer in functionally graded coating system wa...

Functionally graded NiCoCrAlY/yttria-stabilized zirconia coatings were fabricated by plasma spraying using mechanically alloyed, plasma-spheroidized NiCoCrAlY/yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) composite powders. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS) analysis revealed that oxidation of aluminum, chromium and yttrium in the NiCoCrAlY alloy occurred in th...

in this paper, the influence of the constituent volume fractions by changing the values of the power-law exponent with uniform pressure on the vibration frequencies of reinforced functionally graded cylindrical shells is studied. the fgm shell with ring is developed in accordance to the volume fraction law from two constituents namely stainless steel and nickel. these constituents are graded th...
