Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) have a lot of room for improvement, and constant attempts are being made to create better and more reliable ones. The TBCs have been the subject of significant research in recent years, with a focus on improving their degradation mechanisms, self-healing properties, and applications in high-temperature industries. TBCs ensure the ability to solve both long-term and short-term issues in the gas engine, IC engine, and power plant industries. The analysis of TBC materials, their durability, and lifetime prediction remains an essential aspect that must be grasped before some development can be implemented. This article provides a summary of the processing of TBCs, spray parameters, synthesis of spray powder, formation of coatings, microstructure analysis of coatings, and effect of the thermally grown oxide layer on TBC by advanced plasma spray methods and allied techniques of air plasma spraying, suspension plasma spraying, solution precursor plasma spraying, and plasma spray-physical vapour deposition. Then the essential microstructure properties such as splat, calcium-magnesium-aluminosilicate, hot corrosion, porosity, microcracks, bond strength, and thermal conductivity were discussed. The relations between the microstructure and post-processing of plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coating were discussed. Finally, some potential future advancement in PS-TBCs is discussed. - Effect of Scandium Interlayer Friction Stir Welding on the Aluminium Alloys

A leaf spring is an important component of vehicles in terms of human comfort and safety as part of the suspension system. Because of the importance of suspension system in the utility and safety of a vehicle, it is important to develop a failure-free suspension design and assembly unit. Design Failure Mode Effective Analysis (DFMEA) techniques were utilised in this research to adopt preventive measures to reduce failure rates. It starts with deciding, categorising and researching every individual probable failure and grading it using numerical ratings. The four numerical grades are Severity, Occurrence, Detection and RPN (Risk Priority Number). These numerical ratings are used to identify the most likely failure of leaf springs. To overcome these failures, it is also necessary to analyse and assess the essential features of fatigue failure mode and fatigue life using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) techniques. Finally, methods are presented and advised to improve the performance and longevity of the leaf spring. - Energy management in a hybrid electric vehicle for the operating total cost minimization based machine learning

Energy saving is one of HEV’s most significant innovations. The existing emissions and extreme fossil oil shortages, the production of clean new energy-powered vehicles,HEVs and EV system are offer better energy efficiency and lower emissions of waste in particular the hybrid power, is key.HEVs were really high increased air and oil emissions control. HEVs of different designs are becoming increasingly common, as they can achieve high fuel savings and mitigate emissions through multiple storage systems. The most powerful approach is the battery-driven vehicles.This article examines the management of energy issue with the minimisation of the operating costs of the HEVs for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). The energy management strategy and hybrid performance enhancement are the key to ensuring the system functions properly. The battery energy is managed using the proposed GA approach based on reinforcement learning (RL) which is originated from the ML. The results are obtained and verified successfully. - Performance improvements of hemispherical solar still using internal aluminum foil sheet as reflector: energy and exergy analysis

High-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) spray coating plays a major role in many surface treatment methods, which tend to improve erosion and corrosion resistance properties. HVOF is well known for its dense and high-quality coating ability. This is due to the less in-flight exposure time, which tends to have less oxide content because of its high-velocity properties. Among the number of process parameters, porosity and hardness are predominant factors while considering wear rate and corrosion behaviour analysis. The current study aims to optimise HVOF process parameters to obtain low levels of porosity and high hardness values in the WC-10Ni-5Cr coating sprayed on 35 Mo Cr steel. The flow rates of oxygen, LPG, coating powder feed rate and spray distance are selected in this study as these have a superior influence on the final condition of the coating. Statistical tools such as the design of experiments (DoE), analysis of variants and response surface methodology (RSM) were used to achieve the desired results. As per the result analysis, the oxygen flow rate has a higher effect on the porosity value and microhardness value of the coating. - Enhancing the Corrosion Resistance of Low Pressure Cold Sprayed Metal Matrix Composite Coatings on AZ31B Mg Alloy through Friction Stir Processing

To improve the corrosion resistance of Mg alloy, Al alloy/alumina metal matrix composite (MMC) coatings were formed by low pressure cold spraying (LPCS) technology followed by post friction stir processing. The phase structure, microstructure, and corrosion properties of the cold-sprayed metal matrix composite coatings before and after friction stir processing were investigated. The effect of the friction stir process (FSP) on the corrosion characteristics of MMC coatings at 3.5 weight percent of NaCl solution was explored using a Tafel polarisation plot. Microstructural studies were examined to investigate the electrochemical behaviour of the cold spray (CS) and FSPed MMC coatings. The results demonstrated that an enhancement in corrosion protection of the MMC deposits occurred at the 1st and 2nd runs of FSP, with superior corrosion performance observed at the 2nd run of FSP. The enhanced surface state is the primary enhancement mechanism of the electrochemical properties of the FSPed MMC coatings. For the higher run of FSP (3rd run), the electrochemical performance of the specimens was lower owing to the amalgamate action of the enhanced surface state with the aggravated interface of interior deposits. - Optimization of Specific Cutting Energy in Turning of AISI 304 Stainless Steel Using Taguchi Method
