As basements of offshore wind turbines (OWTs) in deep water (>50 m), jacket structures are an economic alternative to monopiles. For this reason, the structural durability of jackets has become more important. In such ...

As a climate-neutral energy source, wind energy plays a key role in the global energy transition to mitigate climate change. Ensuring a reliable and affordable supply of wind energy requires a deep understanding of materials, ...

Conventional thermal spraying processes are almost exclusively carried out in an air atmosphere, resulting in the oxidation of the particle surfaces and interfaces within the coating and between the substrate and coating. ...
