Titanium-carbide-reinforced iron-based materials -A cost-favourable solution for wear protectionapplications
Nowadays, thermally sprayed coats are widespread in industry for wear protection applications. Conventional coat systems are WC/Co or Cr3C2/NiCr. Because of their high carbide content of more than 75 % by weight, they po...
Selected diagnostic methods for the plasmaspray process
Thermal spray is a widespread technology in order to modify surfaces by applying various types of coatings. Due to the diverse possibilities and the strong turnover in this industrial branch, plasma spray is utilised not...
Thin and dense yttria-partially stabilizedzirconia electrolytes for IT-SOFC manufactured bysuspension plasma spraying
Intermediate temperature - solid oxy-fuel cells (IT-SOFCs) include in their design a solid electrolyte layer made of yttria-partially stabilized zirconia (Y-PSZ), an ionic conductor, through which oxygen ions diffuse. Th...
