Plasma-sprayed Al₂O₃-TiB₂-SiC ternary composite coatings and its wear behaviour based on SiC content

This paper aims to study the effect of adding different SiC content on the wear performance of Al₂O₃-TiB₂-SiC ternary composite coatings produced by the air plasma spraying process. The study used SHS powders as primary materials, consisting of H₃BO₃, Al, and TiO₂, and 5, 10,...

From Si Towards SiC Technology for Harsh Environment Sensing

In the coming decade, the development in the area of More than Moore will certainly take over from Moore’s Law. Sensor development and sensor integration will prevail above lower node development. New packaging solutions will be developed which will fuel the integration of sensors. These developments can still be silicon based but where harsh...

Modeling of parasitic elements in high voltage multiplier modules

It is an inevitable trend that the power conversion module will have higher switching frequency and smaller volume in the future. Bandgap devices, such as SiC and GaN devices, accelerate the process. With this process, the parasitic elements in the module will probably have stronger influence on circuit operations than before. In this thesis,...

The effect of SiC particle size on the healing efficiency of alumina at high temperatures

Structural ceramics like alumina are usually brittle and sensitive to flaws leading to a reduction in their mechanical properties. This situation is worsened by machining prior to service and during service by contact, which introduces micro cracks and hidden damages. Crack damage can easily be developed in such ceramics when loaded, which often...
