Application of TBC Materials in I C Engine Combustion Chamber: A Review

Revolt fuel prices and more precise requirements in the field of the vehicle emissions such as nitrogen oxides, fine dust and carbon dioxide are increasing the pressure on the engine manufacturers to utilise technologies which contribute to a reduction in the emissions. In this study, a complete literatures review of Thermal barrier coating(TBCs) applications in Internal combustion engines Chamber performed to select a proper type and to find coating effects. The TBC coating technique has effects on the specific fuel consumption, the power and the combustion characteristic, pollution contents and the Thermal fatigue lifetime of engine components. Usually there are several beneficial influences by applying ceramic layers on the combustion chamber, including the piston, the cylinder head, the cylinder block, intake and exhaust valves by using a plasma thermal spray method. In this article, all effects, merits and demerits of TBCs are investigated based on presented articles.
