Residual stresses’ magnitude generated by deposition, quenching stress, thermal stress operation temperature, and infiltration in the barrier coating (TBC) of gas turbines was determined. A manufactured deposition two layers, CoNiCrAlY yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ), on an AISI 304 stainless steel substrate. The deposited using HVOF gun YSZ atmospheric plasma spray (APS). TBCs were heat-treat...

A new multi-layered thermal barrier coating system (TBCs) containing gadolinium zirconate (GZ, Gd2Zr2O7) and yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) was developed using suspension plasma spray (SPS) to improve the overall cycling performance. This study focuses on cracking behavior of GZ/YSZ TBC after exposure find out key factors that limit its lifetime. Different behaviors were detected depending tr...

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...

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are promising electrochemical energy conversion devices owing to their high power generation efficiency and environmentally benign operation. Micro-tubular SOFCs, which have diameters ranging from a few millimeters to the sub-millimeter scale, offer several advantages over competing SOFCs such as high volumetric power density, good endurance against thermal cyclin...

We report on thermally resilient planar waveguides fabricated nc-YSZ by direct fs-laser inscription in transparent nc-yttria stabilized zirconia (nc-YSZ) polycrystalline ceramic. The consisted of rectangular sections (4.5 × 2 mm ) the surface sample. Optical characterization at 633 and 810 nm was performed. estimate a laser-induced refractive index contrast 10 –4 .

Acceleration of bone healing has always been a major challenge in orthopedic surgery, the aim of this study was an evaluation of the biological effects of zirconia-stabilized yttria on bone healing, using an in vivo model. Nano-hydroxyapatite powder with zirconia-stabilized yttria were inserted in rabbit tibia and then histologically analyzed and compared with non-treated controls so thirty six...

This study investigated the feasibility of depositing graphene nanoplatelet (GNP)-reinforced yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) composite coatings. The coatings were deposited from an ethanol-based mixed YSZ and GNP suspension using plasma spraying (SPS). Raman spectroscopy confirmed presence GNPs in matrix, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed a desired columnar microstructure wi...

Yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) has been widely used as electrolyte in solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). The effect of fabrication process on the properties of YSZ electrolyte thick film is discussed in the paper. With YSZ nano-powders of about 20-60nm as raw material, YSZ green adobe was fabricated by tape calendering process. Three-step sintering process was performed firstly holding at 1000°C f...

In this study, small fraction of NiTi (5 wt%) was added to Yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) top coat to improve it sliding wear resistance. The measurement of width of wear tracks after wear tests under a 15 N load for 100 m sliding distances showed that the width of wear track in NiTi-YSZ coating is shorter than that in YSZ coating which depicts the higher wear resistance of NiTi-YSZ coa...
