Title: Innovations by Ranajay Ghosh in Thermal Barrier Coatings
Introduction
Ranajay Ghosh is an accomplished inventor based in Oviedo, FL (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of thermal barrier coatings, holding a total of 3 patents. His work focuses on advanced temperature sensing technologies that enhance the performance and reliability of thermal barrier coatings.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a "Phosphor thermometry device for synchronized acquisition of luminescence lifetime decay and intensity on thermal barrier coatings." This innovative device utilizes a laser to generate a pulse onto a thermal barrier coating (TBC) applied to a substrate. The device includes a metallic bond coat layer and a ceramic top coat layer, which features both undoped and doped sensing layers. The doped sensing layer contains rare-earth luminescent dopants that emit different wavelengths when excited by the laser pulse. A detector captures the reflected luminescence signals, allowing for precise temperature monitoring of the TBC.
Another notable patent is the "Method for forming a temperature sensing layer within a thermal barrier coating." This invention involves a thermal barrier coated component, such as a turbine blade made from a superalloy substrate. The method includes a temperature sensing thermally grown oxide (TGO) layer formed at the interface of the bond coat layer and ceramic top coat layer. This TGO layer incorporates rare-earth luminescent ions, enabling real-time phosphor thermometry temperature measurements.
