Abstract:High temperature gas turbines require ceramic abradable coatings for sealing to ensure high efficiency. In this study, a novel method is proposed to deposit porous ceramic coatings through deposition of ceramic spray powder particles in the semi-molten state. The commercially available alumina (Al2O3) powders were spheroidized and screened to a particle size range from 40 to 50 µm for spray deposition. Flame spraying was employed for coating deposition. During deposition, the substrate surface was kept at 500°… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
