Nanostructured zirconia layers as thermal barrier coatings
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2011, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
The coatings obtained by thermal spray are used both as antioxidant and connection materials (e.g. MCrAlY type alloys) as well as thermal barrier coatings (e.g. partially stabilized zirconia oxide with yttria oxide). This paper studies the characteristics of the coatings obtained with nanostructured powders by thermal spraying and air plasma jet metallization. Testing of coatings is done against the most disturbing factor, thermal shock. Structural changes occurring after thermal shock tests are highlighted by investigations of optical and electronic microscopy. The results obtained after quick thermal shock show a good morphological and surface behavior of the developed coatings.

Estimation of Wind Tunnel Corrections Using Potential Models
The evaluation of the tunnel correction remains an actual problem, especially for the effect of tunnel walls. Even if the experimental campaign meets the basic similitude criteria (Mach, Reynolds etc.), the wall effect o...
The unsteady turbulent flows structure study present status
The processes of heat transfer and hydraulic plays a very important role in the design and prototyping of aerospace technology. In most cases this technique works under significant unsteady conditions. Steady approach fo...
