| Abstract Scope |
Thermal barrier coatings are utilized in high intensity temperature apparatus, including planes, wind turbines, and engines for the purpose of improving the range of thermal application for metals. This research aimed to analyze the impact Bismuth doped Yttria-stabilized Zirconia hybrid coatings have on aluminum to withstand high temperature environments. YSZ-Bi nanoparticles were produced through co-precipitation and mixed with epoxy resin. The hybrid coating was deposited in a gradient through spin coating on aluminum to ensure good adhesion and homogeneous coverage. Next steps for this project include experimentation on altering the YSZ-Bi to epoxy ratio and evaluating sample layers using electron microscopy. Future work includes synthesizing and utilizing a heat testing method with propane flames to analyze the efficiency of the hybrid thermal barrier. |
