Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Zirconia and alumina have been successfully incorporated into turbines used for propulsion and power generation. They exert a crucial influence on the fuel efficiency. The roles of these oxides within the overall system are described, relative to those for the other constituents, and their most important properties are outlined. The mechanisms that govern their properties are presented and approaches for adjusting them in desirable directions are discussed. Opportunities for new materials with potential for superior performance are assessed.
