Abstract: A thermal barrier coating and method of depositing the same on the surfaces of combustion chamber components in compression-ignition internal combustion engines is disclosed. The thermal barrier coating is a dual layer having a first metallic layer comprised of MCrAlY material deposited on the component surface. A porous ceramic layer comprised of Yttria partially stabilized zirconia or Ceria-Yttria partially stabilized zirconia is deposited on the metallic layer to impede the flow of heat therethrough. In operation, the metallic layer creates a mechanical bond between the component surface and the ceramic layer, allows for a smooth transition between the differing physicalproperties of the component and the ceramic layer and serves as a corrosion barrier by protecting the component from combustion gases and contaminants. There is further disclosed a method of depositing the thermal barrier coating comprising the steps of (1) chemically treating the component surface to remove dirt and oil; (2) grit blasting the treated component surface to roughen the surface and increase the available surface area for deposition; (3) plasma spray depositing a metallic layer comprised of MCrAlY material on the roughened component surface to a thickness between 0.003-0.006 inches; and (4) depositing a porous ceramic material comprised of 10 %-15 % volume porosity Yttria partially stabilized zirconia or 10 %-15 % volume porosity Ceria-Yttria partially stabilized zirconia on the metallic layer to impede the flow ofheat therethrough.

Title: Assessment of ion availability in heterogeneous media using ion-exchange membranes
Inventor: SCHOENAU JEFFREY J
IPC: G01N1/08
Filed: 1993-02-10
Abstract: The invention relates to a kit for the measurement of anion, cation or zwitterion availability in a medium or for the measurement of free inorganic ions in disrupted cells from plant or animal tissue. The kit comprises ion-exchange material having a measurable ion uptake potential for immobilizing available ions from the medium on the material following contact on the material with the medium or suspension. It also comprises means to remove particulate solids from the material after having contacted the medium with the material. Preferably, the ion-exchange material is cation and/or anion-exchange material in the form of rigid or flexible films, sheets, membranes or the like. The invention also relates to a method for the on-site in situ measurement of anion and/or cation availability in a solid medium and to a method for measuring free organic ions in cells from plant or animal tissue. It also relates to ion-exchange material for immobilizing available ions in soil, sediment or water media and to a cation and/or anion-exchange membrane buried underneath the surface of a soil sample or site, the membrane being in ion-ex-change relationship with available ions in the soil. The present invention represents an improvement over the prior art in that it provides means for quickly determining ion availability in a particular media without the necessity of collecting media samples for laboratory testing.
