Abstract:We report a revolutionary ceramic material with exceptional high temperature stability and superior thermo-mechanical properties for next generation thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) for aeroengines. The multicomponent oxides (Zr1 − 4xYxYbxTaxNbxO2) designed via a high entropy concept could exhibit a double tetragonal phase. The optimized composition breaks the limitation of intrinsic brittleness in previously reported TBC candidate materials and shows a superior toughness up to ~ 4.59 MPa m1/2 due to ferroelast… 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.
