Investigation of rare earth-doped ceramics as thermal barrier coating materials
Increasing operating temperatures of gas engines is an effective approach to further improve thermal efficiency. But the ceramic top-coat (conventional 7-8 wt% yttria-stabilised zirconia, 7-8YSZ) in thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) cannot afford application temperatures above 1250 oC, the main reason...
