The item deals with the possibilities of utilization HVOF coatings in thermal cyclic loading conditions. There were evaluated three types of coatings based on WC-Co, WC-Co-Cr and Cr3C2-25NiCr. The quality of coatings was evaluated in terms of their adhesion as sprayed and also during the cyclic thermal loading, EDX analysis and evaluation of microhardness. Construction and structure of coatings...

To reduce the formation of detrimental complex oxides, bond coatings in thermal barrier for gas turbines are typically fabricated using vacuum plasma spraying (VPS) or high-velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) process. Herein, VPS and HVOF processes were applied NiCoCrAlY + HfSi-based powder to assess oxidation behavior both coating processes. Each coated sample was subjected 50 cyclic heat treatments a...

proton exchange membrane fuel cells (pemfcs) with a dead-ended anode and cathode can obtain high hydrogen and oxygen utilization by a comparatively simple system. nevertheless, the accumulation of the water in the anode and cathode channels might cause a local fuel starvation degrading the performance and durability of pemfcs. in this study, a brand new design for a polymer electrolyte membrane...

High-entropy alloy AlCrFeCoNi powder with a metastable body centered cubic (bcc) structure is produced by inert gas atomization. This state largely preserved after processing the high-velocity-oxygen-fuel (HVOF) thermal spraying. A heat treatment conducted objective to form duplex comprising ductile face (fcc) phase. The formation of an additional fcc phase accompanied decrease in hardness and ...

A systematic experimental study was performed to elucidate the conditions for which cellular patterns of diluted hydrogen diffusion flames near extinction were observed. The formation of cellular instabilities was studied for several burners: jet burners (axisymmetric jet and two-dimensional jet) and a novel one-dimensional burner. The fuel and oxidizer Lewis numbers and the initial mixture str...
