    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; thermal barrier coatings; diesel engine; thermal cycling fatigue; heat flux; running-in; exhaust manifolds; yttria-stabilized zirconia; gadolinium zirconate; lanthanum zirconate; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

    Sammanfattning : Reducing the heat losses in heavy-duty diesel engines is of importance for improving engine efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions. Depositing thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) onto engine components has been demonstrated to have great potential to reduce heat loss from the combustion chamber as well as from exhaust components.
