Thermal studies of big sheep horn as thermal barrier coating (TBC) material for gas turbine compressor blade

Abstract

This research focuses on the decomposition temperature of a large sheep horn from Haveri District, Karnataka, India, which is 302.9°C. It also demonstrates the possible use of large sheep horn in the aerospace industry. It can be utilised as a Thermal Barrier Coating (TBC) in high-pressure compressor blades of jet engines. Because of its poor thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity, it is a superb insulator, and temperatures throughout the TBC take around 10 minutes to match.
