The main function of these coatings is to control the clearance of the gas path of the gas turbine engines. The abradable coating prevents turbine blade damage by abrading itself when there is an offset or vibration during turbine operation. Since the coating is meant to abrade, the preferred coating material is relatively softer than the turbine blade material. As these coatings are prone to solid particle erosion at high temperatures, the erosion response of these coatings at elevated temperatures needs to be investigated. In order to achieve this objective, MCrAlY boron nitride polymer coating was deposited employing an air plasma spraying technique on a Ni-base alloy substrate. The important features of the microstructure and mechanical properties of the coating were examined, and the coating was subjected to erosion at various temperatures under different erosion conditions. The results indicate a ductile erosion behaviour for an abradable top coat. The erosion rate increases with the temperature of the coating. The detailed results of the investigation are presented, and the erosion mechanisms are studied.","PeriodicalId":15660,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electrochemical Science and Engineering","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84641191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The cold spray method has appeared as a promising process to form ceramic nanostructured coating without significantly changing the microstructure of the initial feedstock materials due to its low processing temperature. However, deposition of ceramic powders by cold spray is not easy due to the brittle characteristics of the material. In this study, TiO2 coatings were deposited on unannealed stainless steel substrates and substrates that were annealed from room temperature to 700 °C prior to spraying. The adhesion strength was evaluated to investigate the bonding mechanism. The influence of the remaining surface oxide layer of chromium oxide, Cr2O3, which is thermodynamically preferred for stainless steel, on the bonding mechanism involved was investigated. The results showed that by increasing the annealing substrate temperature of stainless steel, the adhesion strength of the coatings (thicker oxide) is also increased. As a result, the bonding between the cold-sprayed TiO2 particle and the steel substrate is given by the chemical bonding of an inter-oxide reaction. \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":15660,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electrochemical Science and Engineering","volume":"61 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88957817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

RED as a conversion technique to generate blue energy has received increasing attention in recent decades. As part of the RED system, ion exchange membranes (IEMs) are key elements to the success of future blue energy generation. However, its suboptimal performance often limits the applications and stagnates the development of the technology. The key properties of IEMs include ion exchange capacity, permselectivity, and electrical resistance. The enhancement of such physical and electrochemical properties is crucial for studying energy production with acceptable output efficiency on a commercial scale. Recently, many studies have tried blending nanotechnology into the membrane fabrication process. Hybridizing inorganic nanomaterials with an organic polymeric material showed the great potential of improving electrical conductivity and permselectivity, as well as other membrane characteristics for power performance. In this short review, recent developments on the IEM synthesis in association with potential nanomaterials are reviewed and raising issues regarding the application and commercialization of RED-based energy production are discussed.","PeriodicalId":15660,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electrochemical Science and Engineering","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74084344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present review first provides a concise overview of HVAF coatings, highlighting their advantages over HVOF coatings. Then, the fundamentals of solid particle, slurry, and cavitation erosion are briefly introduced. Finally, the performance of HVAF coatings for erosion-resistant applications is discussed in detail. The emerging research consistently reports HVAF-coatings having higher erosion resistance than HVOF-coatings, which is attributed to their elevated hardness and density and improved microstructural features that inhibit the surface damages caused by erosion. The dominant wear mechanisms are mainly functions of particle impact angle. For instance, the removal of the binder phase at high impact angles causes the accumulation of plastic strain on hard particles (e.g., WC particles) in the matrix, forming micro-cracks between the hard particles and the matrix, eventually decreasing the erosion resistance of HVAF coatings. The binder phase of HVAF-coatings significantly affects erosion resistance, primarily due to their inherent mechanical properties and bearing capacity of hard particles. Optimizing spraying parameters to tailor the microstructural characteristics of these coatings appears to be the key to enhancing their erosion resistance. The relationship between microstructural features and erosion mechanisms needs to be clarified to process coatings with tailored microstructural features for erosion-resistant applications.","PeriodicalId":15660,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electrochemical Science and Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90221488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
