Coating of MoSi2 healing particles for self-healing thermal barrier coatings

To increase lifetime of the protective thermal barrier coatings (TBC) in jet engines and other gas turbines, a self-healing approach based on MoSi2 healing particle addition is considered. However, due to rapid oxygen transport in yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ), a common TBC material, premature oxidation is a major problem. This thesis...
