High Temperature Coatings

The importance of designing materials and components that can withstand extreme temperatures and still operate reliably as well as efficiently is essential for such systems as gas turbines, power generation equipment, and chemical process equipment. Special coatings are typically used to counteract the extreme thermal conditions in which such equipment and systems operate. As an industry authority, with long experience in the aerospace gas turbine industry, the author has created a compendium of the very latest in coating materials and coating technologies. Unique and invaluable information can be found on non-destructive testing techniques that insure coating quality and performance. The book will also offer hard-to-find guidance on maintaining and repairing thermal coatings, as well as appropriate inspection protocols.
