Thermally Sprayed Coatings as Resistive Heating Systems for Wind Turbine Blades and Airfoils
DownloadSpring 2023
Accumulation of ice on the surface of wind turbine blades and aircraft wings in cold environments causes serious issues such as decrease in performance and efficiency. Ice accretion alters the geometrical profile and aerodynamic performance of the surface and increases the weight of the original...

Fall 2011
Various pressures of compressed air were introduced into the flame spraying torch and the protective coatings of nanostructured and conventional titania (TiO2) were deposited on low carbon steel substrates. Performance of the coatings was studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), hardness...
