Thermal barrier
these coatings can allow for higher operating temperatures while limiting the
thermal exposure of structural components, extending part life by reducing
oxidation and thermal fatigue. In conjunction with active film cooling, TBCs
permit working fluid temperatures higher than the melting point of the metal
airfoil in some turbine applications. Due to increasing demand for more
efficient engines running at higher temperatures with better
durability/lifetime and thinner coatings to reduce parasitic mass for
rotating/moving components, there is significant motivation to develop new
and advanced TBCs. The material requirements of TBCs are similar to those of
heat shields, although in the latter application emissivity tends to be of
greater importance
YSZ// is the most widely studied and used TBC because it provides -1
.excellent performance in applications such as diesel engines and gas turbines
Ceo2 +ysz//Adding ceria into a YSZ coating can significantly improve the -4
TBC performance, especially in thermal shock resistance. This is most likely
due to less bond coat stress due to better insulation and a better net thermal
.expansion coefficient
Rare earth oxides // The mixture of rare earth oxides is readily available, -5
.cheap, and may have promise as effective TBCs
Automotive -1
Thermal barrier ceramic coatings are becoming more common in automotive
applications. They are specifically designed to reduce heat loss from engine
exhaust system components including exhaust manifolds, turbocharger
casings, exhaust headers, downpipes and tailpipes. This process is also known
as "exhaust heat management". When used under-bonnet, these have the
positive effect of reducing engine bay temperatures, therefore reducing the
.intake air temperature
Aviatio-2
Interest in increasing the efficiency of gas turbine engines for aviation
applications has prompted research into higher combustion temperatures.
Turbine efficiency is strongly correlated with combustion temperature. Higher
temperature combustion improves the thermodynamic efficiency of the
machine, giving a more favourable ratio of work generated in relation to
waste heat.[9][circular reference]Thermal barrier coatings are commonly
used to protect nickel-based superalloys from both melting and thermal
cycling in aviation turbines. Combined with cool air flow, TBCs increase the
.allowable gas temperature above that of the superalloy melting point
