Processing of yttria partially stabilized zirconia thermal barrier coatings implementing a high-power laser diode

Several studies have been undertaken recently to adapt yttria partially stabilized zirconia (YPSZ) thermal barrier coating (TBC) characteristics during their manufacturing process. Thermal spraying implementing laser irradiation appears to be a possibility for modifying the coating morphology. This study aims to present the results of in situ (i.e., simultaneous treatment) and a posteriori (i.e., post-treatment) laser treatments implementing a high-power laser diode. In both cases, the coatings underwent atmospheric plasma spraying (APS). Laser irradiation was achieved using a 3 kW, average-power laser diode exhibiting an 848 nm wavelength. Experiments were performed to reach two goals. First, laser post-treatments aimed at building a map of the laser-processing parameter effects on the coating microstructure to estimate the laser-processing parameters, which seem to be suited to the change into in situ coating remelting. Second, in situ coating remelting aimed at quantifying the involved phenomena. In that case, the coating was treated layer by layer as it was manufactured. The input energy effect was studied by varying the scanning velocity (i.e., between 35 and 60 m/min), and consequently the irradiation time (i.e., between 1.8 and 3.1 ms, respectively). Experiments showed that coating thermal conductivity was lowered by more than 20% and that coating resistance to isothermal shocks was increased very significantly.

弥散Gd_2O_3质点改性的新型复合铝化物涂层的氧化行为SCIEI

研究了Gd_2O_3质点及其添加量对涂层在空气中1100℃氧化行为的影响及作用机制。结果表明,NiAl涂层中加入Gd_2O_3质点后,极大地降低了涂层的氧化速率,显著提高了氧化膜的粘附性,比简单NiAl涂层具有更好的抗高温氧化性能。复合镀层经渗Al后,一部分Gd_2O_3质点仍弥散分布于涂层中,另一部分细小的亚微观质点在涂层/基体界面处富集,形成氧化物聚集带,聚集带具有扩散障作用。连续的聚集带更有效地抑制退化,提高涂层使用寿命。

Local‐scale Benefits of River Connectivity Restoration Planning Beyond Jurisdictional Boundaries

Conservation planning aims to optimize outcomes for select species or ecosystems by directing resources toward high‐return sites. The possibility that local benefits might be increased by directing resources beyond the focal area is rarely considered. We present a case study of restoring river connectivity for migratory fish of the Great Lakes Basin by removing dams and road crossings within municipal jurisdictions versus their broader watersheds. We found that greater river connectivity could often be achieved by considering both intra‐jurisdictional and extra‐jurisdictional barriers. Focusing on jurisdictional barriers alone generally forfeited <20% (median = 0%) of habitat gains for those who value solely habitat gains within the jurisdiction, but >75% (median = 100%) for planners who value larger‐scale habitat gains. Similarly, cost savings tended to be between ?50% and +50%, but in some cases were very negative. Our study underscores the local‐scale benefits of broadening restoration investments, especially for decision makers of the Great Lakes Basin and contributes to a discussion of appropriate and efficient scales of conservation planning.

Free energy barrier for compact chains escaping from a small sphere

In this paper, the process of compact polymer chains escaping from a small sphere to a large one in the view of thermodynamics is investigated in detail based on the pruned-enriched-Rosenbluth method (PERM), which is quite efficient for the three-dimensional polymers on the simple-cubic lattice. In our simulation, three representative states of a polymer chain during the escaping process are studied, and some statistical properties of the chain size and the chain shape, such as mean-square radius of gyration per bond 〈S²〉/N and the shape factor 〈δ^∗〉 are investigated. Our aim is to illuminate how the size and shape of the compact chains change during the escaping process. The changes of 〈S²〉/N and 〈δ^∗〉 are not monotone and it is due to the fact that the chain should stretch itself in the escaping process. In the meantime, some thermodynamic properties are also calculated here. The hole is designed to be small enough to allow only one monomer at a time and it thus reduces the number of allowed chain conformations and breaks contacts between monomers at the beginning of the process. Additionally, we discuss the free energy barrier per bond H₂ − H₁ = ΔH of a compact chain, and here H₂ is the maximum free energy per bond during the process and H₁ is the minimum one when the compact chain is within the small sphere. Averaging free energy barrier over chain length N is convenient for the comparison with different chain lengths. ΔH as a function of chain length N and radius r₁ of the small sphere is also studied and our result shows that ΔH for longer chains is lower means that it is relatively easier for each bond in longer chains to surmount the free energy barrier to escape. Some discussions about the self-avoiding walk (SAW) and swollen chains are also made for the comparison, and our results also show that the restriction of the small sphere on the SAW and the swollen chains is more effective because of their relatively looser intrinsic structure.
