“…Due to this, zirconium carbide (ZrC) was selected as a ceramic material for coating on piston and cylinder walls. The distinguished characteristics of ZrC include high wear resistance, high hardness, high melting point and high thermal resistance [31,32]. Due to these properties, ZrC is widely used in various industries e.g.…”

Thermal losses and emissions are considered as major contributing factors in decreasing the efficiency of engines and life span of engines. To prevent heat losses and emissions, thermal ceramic coatings are considered as potential contenders. Moreover, ceramic coatings also prevent engine parts from damage due to thermal stresses. In this computational study, the effect of Zirconium Carbide coating on the thermal behavior of V12 engine is explored. Geometry of V12 engine’s piston and cylinder is generated in SolidWorks 2016. After that, piston’s surface and cylinder’s inner walls are coated with Zirconium Carbide ceramic coating and thermal behavior is analyzed using ANSYS Workbench 19.2. Two cases are discussed in this work. In the first case, piston is made of Al-3003 alloy and cylinder walls are made of gray cast iron whereas in the second case, whole assembly is made of Al-3003 alloy. Temperature and heat flux profiles of both the cases are compared with coating and without coating. Maximum temperature is recorded to be at the top of piston head surface. The results show 44.9% increase in maximum temperature for the first case whereas 83.5% increase in the second case. Heat flux results after show reduction after coating. Zirconium Carbide ceramic coatings can act as thermal barrier and prevent engine parts from thermal stresses. Moreover, it provides insulation to cylinder which prevents heat transfer and retains more temperature inside the cylinder which in turn enhances the efficiency.

The relevance of the research is connected with Russia’s long-term import dependence on zirconium raw materials.Goal of this research: to study the dynamics of commodity flows (production, import, export, consumption) of Russian zirconium raw materials; its prices (world and Russian); the raw material base of zirconium in Russia and the prospects for national production of its extraction and processing.Methods: statistical, graphic, logical.Results: Russia imports the vast majority (3.5–14.9 kt/year or 98–100 % of consumption) of consumed zircon concentrate. At the same time, almost all of the baddeleyite mined in Russia (4.0–9.3 kt/year or (96–100 % of production) is exported. Since 2018 has there been a decrease in its export supplies and an increase in the national consumption (up to 60 % of production).Russia has existing deposits, including a useful zirconium component, but all are connected with a certain economic and technological complexity in their development.In 2022, the national production of selective zircon concentrate began during the development of the Tugan titanium-zirconium deposit. This deposit covers up to 30 % of Russia’s demand for zirconium raw materials up to 2023. Furthermore, the construction of the 2-nd stage of the Tugan mining and processing plant will increase its supply to 15 kt/year. This will completely cover Russian demand for zirconium raw materials. Work is in progress on Zashikhinsky field preparation, where, in the course of enrichment of tantalum-rare-earth ores, up to 8 kt/year of zircon concentrate will be additionally extracted. The emerging trend of reducing Russia’s import dependence on zirconium raw materials, and in the future its complete elimination will allow consumption of zircon and zirconium oxides to be increased in the most demanding area of their use – for dampening the glaze of ceramic tiles. The presence of an independent and sufficient national mining base of zirconium raw materials will allow Russian production of metal zirconium, zirconium refractory and abrasive products, solid fuel energy cells and other zirconiumcontaining applications to be developed.
