Thermal Fatigue in YSZ TBCs for Diesel Engines

1. The document discusses thermal barrier coatings (TBC) applied to diesel and aircraft engine components to insulate substrates from high temperatures. 2. An experiment is described where yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) TBCs were plasma sprayed onto aluminum alloy samples to study their thermal fatigue behavior. 3. The samples underwent thermal cycling in a furnace until over 90% of the TBC surface cracked, indicating coating failure. Weight changes during cycling were measured.

Abstract: The abstract should summarize the content of the paper. Try to keep the abstract below 350 words. Do not make
references nor display equations in the abstract. The journal will be printed from the same-sized copy prepared by you. Your
manuscript should be printed on A4 paper (21.0 cm x 29.7 cm). It is imperative that the margins and style described below
be adhered to carefully. This will enable us to keep uniformity in the final printed copies of the Journal. Please keep in mind
that the manuscript you prepare will be photographed and printed as it is received. Readability of copy is of paramount
importance.

of cracks formed in TBCs systems on 2024
