Using vitreous enamelling and atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) processes, a new thermal barrier coating (TBC) system with an 8-YSZ top coat, glass-ceramic bond coat, and nimonic supper alloy substrate was created. The APS process was used to create a conventional TBC system consisting of an 8-YSZ top coat, a...

Despite the fact that fly ash is mostly used in the construction industry in South Africa, a considerable amount of it is nevertheless dumped. Fly ash devitrification for the production of glass-ceramic composites has steadily become one of the applications being investigated internationally. The exploration of creating glass-ceramic composites...

Melt quenching is used to make borate glasses with Li2O and a set concentration of the heavy metal oxide Bi2O3. The impact of Li2O on borobismuthate glasses has been investigated. Glass density increases somewhat as Li2O content increases, although molar volume and glass transition temperature decrease. Infrared spectroscopy was...
