Considerations about Degradation of the Red Ceramic Material Manufactured with Granite Waste [PDF]
Ceramics are used as construction materials since the earliest days of civilization, around 5,000 B.C. Manufactured fired earth bricks had firstly been used as protection walls against invaders and fierce animals. However, during the industrial revolution on century XIX, the steam machines allowed a marked development of the ceramic industry. The term “

Progress in ceramic materials and structure design toward advanced thermal barrier coatings
Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) can effectively protect the alloy substrate of hot components in aeroengines or land-based gas turbines by the thermal insulation and corrosion/erosion resistance of the ceramic top coat. However, the continuous pursuit of

AbstractMetallic alloys' behavior at high temperatures, especially their response to corrosion and formation of protective surface layers, has long been a focus of scientific inquiry. Although certain alloy compositions require an initiation period before hot corrosion advances to the propagation stage, no combination of alloys can be considered ...
