The continuing quest for higher performance levels of modern gas turbine engines has been accompanied by the demand for higher engine operating temperatures. The use of Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBCs) enabled gas turbines ...

Al-Mg alloys were infiltrated into porous alumina preforms at temperatures greater than 950°C where significant amount of nitride forms in the matrix. The present work aims to obtain a process window for growing A1N rich ...

In this thesis, we have used a phase field model for studying the effect of atomic mobility inside the precipitate phase on coarsening behaviour in two dimensional (2D) systems. In all the available coarsening theories, ...

Development of sustainable manufacturing and conservation of primary materials are the key challenges to environmental degradation and climate change. Recycling of primary materials is one of the approaches suggested for ...

The present work aims at developing a new class of high temperature alloys based on ordered intermetallic compound that forms coherently with the matrix during solid state transformation. The chosen intermetallics have ...

Understanding of the interrelationship between structure, thermodynamic properties and phase diagrams is very useful for rationalizing the behavior of materials and development of predictive models, which can be used to ...
