Abstract:Yttria-Stabilized-Zirconia (YSZ) is the most common material used in the fabrication of Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBCs) for gas turbine applications. Due to the low thermal conductivity and a small mismatch of the thermal expansion coefficient to the high temperature alloy, YSZ is commonly used as the top coat layer to provide a thermal barrier effect. The aim of this work is to study the thermo-physical properties of standard (STD) and vertically cracked (VC) thermal barrier coatings fabricated by Atmospheric… 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.
