2. 1. Suspension plasma sprayed thermal barrier coatings for internal combustion engines

   Author : Wellington Uczak de Goes; Nicolaie Markocsan; Mohit Kumar Gupta; Högskolan Väst; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Thermal Barrier Coatings; Suspension Plasma Spraying; Gadolinium Zirconate; Internal Combustion Engines; Engine Efficiency; Production Technology; Produktionsteknik; Manufacturing and materials engineering; Produktions- och materialteknik;

   Abstract : The upward trend in internal combustion engine efficiency is likely driven by the depletion of fossil fuels. Since no replacement in sight can deliver energy comparable to the conventional oil, there is a need to use it more rationally and effectively. READ MORE

4. 2. Functional Performance of Gadolinium Zirconate/Yttria Stabilized Zirconia Multi-Layered Thermal Barrier Coatings

   Author : Satyapal Mahade; Per Nylén; Nicolaie Markocsan; Högskolan Väst; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Erosion; Gadolinium Zirconate; Suspension Plasma Spray; Thermal Barrier Coatings; Thermal Cyclic Test; Thermal Conductivity; Yttria Stabilized Zirconia; Production Technology; Produktionsteknik; Manufacturing and materials engineering; Produktions- och materialteknik;

   Abstract : Yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) is the state of the art ceramic top coat material used for TBC applications. The desire to achieve a higher engine efficiency of agas turbine engine by increasing the turbine inlet temperature has pushed YSZ toits upper limit. READ MORE

5. 3. Functional Performance of Gadolinium Zirconate/Yttria Stabilized Zirconia Multi-Layered Thermal Barrier Coatings

   Author : Satyapal Mahade; Per Nylén; Nicolaie Markocsan; Ping Xiao; Högskolan Väst; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Composite; Erosion; Gadolinium Zirconate; Suspension Plasma Spray; Thermal Barrier Coatings; Thermal Cyclic Test; Thermal Conductivity; Yttria Stabilized Zirconia.; Production Technology; Produktionsteknik; Manufacturing and materials engineering; Produktions- och materialteknik;

   Abstract : Yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) is the state-of-the-art ceramic top coat material used for thermal barrier coating (TBC) applications. Demand for higher efficiency in gas turbine engines has led to a continuous increase in the gas in let temperature. However, this increase in temperature has pushed YSZ to its upper limit. READ MORE

6. 4. Thermal barrier coatings for diesel engines

   Author : Wellington Uczak de Goes; Nicolaie Markocsan; Mohit Kumar Gupta; Rogerio S. Lima; Högskolan Väst; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Thermal Barrier Coatings; Suspension Plasma Spraying; Gadolinium Zirconate; Internal Combustion Engines; Engine Efficiency; Termiska barriärbeläggningar; Plasmasprutning; Suspensionssprutning; Gadolinium; Zirkoniumdioxid; Förbränningsmotorer; Motoreffektivitet; Production Technology; Produktionsteknik;

   Abstract : The upward trend in internal combustion engine efficiency is driven by the demands for emission reduction and fossil fuel depletion. No present alternative fuel can produce energy comparable to that produced by conventional oil; this necessitates the reasonable, efficient usage of oil. READ MORE

7. 5. Design of Thermal Barrier Coatings

   Author : Nicholas Curry; Nicolaie Markocsan; Per Nylén; Matthias Oechsner; Högskolan Väst; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Industrial Gas Turbine; Aero Turbine; Thermal Barrier Coating; Atmospheric Plasma Spraying; Suspension Plasma Spraying; Thermal Conductivity; Thermo-cyclic fatigue; Thermal Shock; Manufacturing and materials engineering; Produktions- och materialteknik;

   Abstract : Thermal barrier coatings (TBC’s) are used to provide both thermal insulation and oxidation protection to high temperature components within gas turbines. The development of turbines for power generation and aviation has led to designs where the operation conditions exceed the upper limits of most conventional engineering materials. READ MORE
