Thermal Spray Coatings for Extreme Engineering Environments

The versatile nature and manufacturing capabilities of thermal spray coating technology offer potential solutions for producing economical surface alternatives and protecting the base materials under extreme engineering environments. However, in recent years, industrial competencies have been exhausted to the highest potential to match the unexpected rise in operating efficiencies, which resulted in the exploration of new materials capable of withstanding such harsh operating conditions. Therefore, the main objective is to investigate thermal spray coatings based on materials, which are either new to the materials community or have not been explored to their potential, termed “next-generation coatings” for extreme engineering applications.
