In this research, a numerical modeling was utilized to calculate the stresses caused during thermal cycling in a functionally graded thermal barrier coating (FG - TBC). The temperature – dependent material response of this protective material was taken into account and the effects of thermal cycle and interface morphology of the ceramic / metallic layer in functionally graded coating system wa...

The specific outputs of some diesel engine applications have produced thermal loadings in excess of the strength of typical aluminium piston alloys. Functionally graded coatings are used to increase performances of high temperature components in diesel engines. Thermal barrier coating are being evaluated to return the components durability to acceptable levels as well as providing a means of lo...

In this paper a functional graded material (FGM) thermal barrier coating (TBC) is prepared using Atmospheric Plasma Spraying (APS) method. The FGM layers were deposited by varying the feeding ratio of CYSZ/NiCrAlY and conventional CYSZ on a NiCrALY-coated Inconel 738 substrates. Hot corrosion behavior, bonding strength and the related failure mechanisms of a conventional TBC and a FGM TBC are i...

In this research, novel functionally graded Ni-P coating was deposited with electroless process. The content of phosphorus was controlled to change gradual through the thickness of the coating. During the plating, bath temperature and pH were changed at specified intervals to obtain functionally graded structure. To compare the properties of functionally graded coating with Ni-P single-layer co...

In this study, functionally graded Ni-Al2O3 composite coating (FGN-A) has been produced from nickel Watt’s bath containing different concentrations of Al2O3 particles. For this, different composite coatings were electroplated in the same bath with different particles concentration to find the optimum concentration of particles in which the maximum content with uniform distribution of Al2O3 part...

Functionally graded NiCoCrAlY/yttria-stabilized zirconia coatings were fabricated by plasma spraying using mechanically alloyed, plasma-spheroidized NiCoCrAlY/yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) composite powders. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS) analysis revealed that oxidation of aluminum, chromium and yttrium in the NiCoCrAlY alloy occurred in th...

Thermal buckling behavior of functionally graded Euler-Bernoulli beams in thermal conditions is investigated analytically. The beam with material and thermal properties dependent on the temperature and position is considered. Based on the transformed-section method, the functionally graded beam is considered as an equivalent homogeneous Euler-Bernoulli beam with an effective bending rigidity un...
