Repairing localized damage in thermal barrier coatings on aircraft turbine blades can require full coat removal and reapplication to avoid blocking cooling holes in the blade. Forschungszentrum Jülich researchers proposed a new laser-cladding-based additive manufacturing technique that shows promise repairing localized damage without the need for full coat removal.

Deviations in the reported ionic conductivity of nominally identical ceramic electrolytes can be attributed in part to differences in the measurement and analysis methods used. Researchers in Germany developed a harmonized testing procedure that facilitates reliable assessment of errors that are due to inherent sample properties rather than analysis-related choices.
