The aim of this paper is to investigate the WC-10Co-4Cr coatings reinforced with 5 % and 10 yttria-stabilized zirconia (Y2O3/ZrO2; YSZ) nanoparticles deposited on CA6NM turbine steel by using high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) thermal spraying technique. In HVOF technique, hot jet semi-solid particles strikes against workpiece creates a layer coating varying thickness substrate material. fabricated ...

Abstract Lanthanum zirconate (LZ) has emerged as a novel thermal barrier coating (TBC) material because of its higher temperature phase stability, and low sintering ability than the current standard yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ). In order to combine advantages, LZ YSZ feedstock powders are blended with predetermined weight ratios (50:50) composite coatings. The leading issue in developing us...

Epitaxial growth of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) thin film on through-hole-type porous silicon [tht-PSi(001)] with vertical pores penetrating from the surface to back side Si(001) substrate was achieved. The in-plane and out-of-plane lattice parameters YSZ deposited tht-PSi(001) were, respectively 0.5167 0.5124 nm. Therefore, 0.54 % tensile strain applied film. Also for this work, an all ep...

Composite electrodes were prepared by adding 40 wt % La0.8Sr0.2FeO3 (LSF) into porous yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) and their performance was studied as a function of time and calcination temperature. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of the LSF-YSZ composites indicated an expanded lattice parameter after calcination above 1523 K, suggesting that Zr reacted with the LSF to form a Zr-doped per...

Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) has important electrochemical applications as a fast oxygen ion conductor and is the state-of-the-art electrolyte material for solid oxide fuel/electrolyzer cells. While much attention been paid to conduction, electronic conductivity especially hole carriers are not well understood, yet essential stability, conduction kinetics microstructural evolution in YSZ. T...

This work investigates a solution process for yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) thin film deposition involving the addition of yttria nanoparticles, at 400 °C, in air. Different yttrium doping levels YSZ were studied and wide range optical, structural, surface, dielectric, electronic transport properties also investigated. An optimum level 5% mol. resulted smoothest films (R RMS ∼ 0.5 nm), bandg...

An industrial ceramic thermal-barrier coating designated PWA 266, processed by electron-beam physical-vapor deposition, was measured using a steady-state thermal conductivity technique. The thermal conductivity of the mass fraction 7 % yttria-stabilized zirconia coating was measured from 100 °C to 900 °C. Measurements on three thicknesses of coatings, 170 μm, 350 μm, and 510 μm resulted in ther...

Thermal and environmental barrier coatings are important components of current and future energy systems. Such coatings – applied to hot, metallic surfaces in combustors, heat exchanger and turbines – increase the allowable operating temperature and increase the efficiency of the energy system. Because of its low thermal conductivity and high thermal expansion yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) i...
