Abstract: Ceramic materials applied by air plasma spray are used as components of thermal barrier coatings. As it has been found that such coatings also dissipate significant amounts of energy during ...

Abstract: In order to determine the mechanical properties of materials suitable for use as coatings on structural or gas turbine components, it is often necessary to conduct testing on coated specimens, ...

Abstract: Ceramic coatings applied by air plasma spray or electron beam techniques as thermal barrier coatings or to improve the erosion or corrosion resistance of blades in gas turbine engines are found ...
