At SSET-2026, Dr Rados\u0142aw Swad\u017aba presented research findings on the high-temperature oxidation of bond coats produced using diffusion and physical vapour deposition (PVD) techniques. Particular attention was given to the capabilities of analytical scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) in examining changes in the microstructure and chemical composition of coatings during oxidation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
