Performance Analysis of Abradable Coating Systems for Aircraft Gas Turbines
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Three CoNiCrAlY/YSZ/MgAl2O4 abradable liner configurations on a nickel‐superalloy are evaluated by thermal‐gradient cycling and incursion tests. Laser ablation of the bondcoat and/or Y2O3‐stabilized ZrO2 (YSZ) intermediate layer increases mechanical interlocking and bonding for thick topcoats.

Increasing Efficiency by Integrating Thermolectric Materials into Fuel Cell
NWSA Academic Journals, 2019 PEM (Polymer Membrane Fuel Cell) is a technology that emitselectricity from the chemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen gases. Thematerial is also capable of generating electricity due to the temperaturedifference applied to both surfaces. In this study, it is aimed to establish amechanism to evaluate the waste heat produced by the fuel cell by ...
