High Velocity Oxygen Fuel Spraying of Erosion and Wear Resistant Coatings on Jet Engine Parts
High velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) spraying is the most recent development in the field of thermal spraying. The importance of this technique for the repair and new part manufacturing of jet engine parts is rapidly increasing. The HVOF uses a supersonic oxygen-fuel flame to heat and accelerate the powder particles that form the coating. The high particle velocity results in a high density and a low porosity, a high bond strength, and a high macro and micro hardness of the coating. The high quality of the HVOF coatings makes it possible to use these coatings on high loaded, rotating parts in jet engines. This paper will highlight the use of HVOF processes to apply erosion resistant cermet coatings to high pressure compressor blades. These blades are exposed to severe erosion. Next to the D-gun process, HVOF spraying is the only nonproprietary technique that can be used to apply these high performance coatings. Also the use of the HVOF process to apply wear resistant coatings and superalloys to jet engine parts will be discussed. The difference between HVOF coatings and plasma sprayed coatings will be highlighted. During HVOF spraying, the parts are exposed to a high heat flow. Solutions to avoid overheating, especially of titanium parts, will be presented.

From wide to ultrawide-bandgap semiconductors for high power and high frequency electronic devices
Abstract Wide and ultrawide-bandgap (U/WBG) materials have garnered significant attention within the semiconductor device community due to their potential to enhance device performance through their substantial bandgap properties. These exceptional material characteristics can enable more robust and efficient devices, particularly in scenarios involving high power, high frequency, and extreme environmental conditions. Despite the promising outlook, the physics of UWBG materials remains inadequately understood, leading to a notable gap between theoretical predictions and experimental device behavior. To address this knowledge gap and pinpoint areas where further research can have the most significant impact, this review provides an overview of the progress and limitations in U/WBG materials. The review commences by discussing Gallium Nitride, a more mature WBG material that serves as a foundation for establishing fundamental concepts and addressing associated challenges. Subsequently, the focus shifts to the examination of various UWBG materials, including AlGaN/AlN, Diamond, and Ga 2 O 3 . For each of these materials, the review delves into their unique properties, growth methods, and current state-of-the-art devices, with a primary emphasis on their applications in power and radio-frequency electronics.

High voltage battery cell scanner development
Battery cell voltage scanners have been previously used in low voltage spacecraft applications. In connection with future missions involving an employment of high-power high voltage power subsystems and/or autonomous power subsystem management for unattended operation, it will be necessary to utilize battery cell voltage scanners to provide battery cell voltage information for early detection of impending battery cell degradation/failures. In preparation for such missions, a novel battery cell voltage scanner design has been developed. The novel design makes use of low voltage circuit modules which can be applied to high voltage batteries in a building block fashion. A description is presented of the design concept and test results of the high voltage battery cell scanner, and its operation with an autonomously managed power subsystem is discussed.

A High Temperature Cyclic Oxidation Data Base for Selected Materials Tested at NASA Glenn Research Center
The cyclic oxidation test results for some 1000 high temperature commercial and experimental alloys have been collected in an EXCEL database. This database represents over thirty years of research at NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio. The data is in the form of a series of runs of specific weight change versus time values for a set of samples tested at a given temperature, cycle time, and exposure time. Included on each run is a set of embedded plots of the critical data. The nature of the data is discussed along with analysis of the cyclic oxidation process. In addition examples are given as to how a set of results can be analyzed. The data is assembled on a read-only compact disk which is available on request from Materials Durability Branch, NASA Glenn Research Center, Cleveland, Ohio.
