1. An Experimental Study to Improve the Casting Performance of Steel Grades Sensitive for Clogging
Abstract : In this study, the goal is to optimize the process and to reduce the clogging tendency during the continuous casting process. The focus is on clogging when the refractory base material (RBM) in the SEN is in contact with the liquid steel. READ MORE

2. High resolution microstructural characterization of oxide thin films and interfaces
Abstract : Oxide interfaces can introduce properties that are different compared to thecorresponding crystal bulk properties. The properties can be tuned by changing thestructure. It has become clear that these oxide interface systems are potentiallysuitable for future electronic devices with unique and tailored properties. READ MORE

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

5. Thermal Barrier Coatings for Diesel Engines
Abstract : Reducing the heat losses in heavy-duty diesel engines is of importance for improving engine efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions. Depositing thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) onto engine components has been demonstrated to have great potential to reduce heat loss from the combustion chamber as well as from exhaust components.
