About
Xueqiang Cao is a leading researcher in advanced ceramic coatings and surface engineering, with a focus on thermal spray technologies and precision finishing processes. His work centers on improving the performance and durability of plasma-sprayed coatings, particularly yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) systems used in high-temperature applications. Cao's major contribution includes the proposition of a novel robot-based free diamond abrasive grinding process, which addresses the critical need for smoother ceramic coating surfaces to enhance erosion resistance and mitigate CMAS (calcium-magnesium-alumino-silicate) sand adhesion. This innovative approach, detailed in his 2023 study, has garnered 11 citations and represents a significant advancement in post-processing techniques for thermal-sprayed coatings. By integrating industrial robotics with free abrasive grinding, Cao's method offers improved control and consistency over conventional surface finishing, potentially extending the service life of coatings in demanding environments like gas turbines. His research bridges the gap between coating deposition and surface engineering, providing practical solutions for industries requiring high-performance ceramic surfaces.
