The higher the temperature at which an aircraft engine is able to run, the more efficiently it uses fuel. In order to run at those high temperatures, the metal components of airplane engines are ...

Historically, the corrosion protection of iron- and nickel-based alloys has been improved by aluminide diffusion coatings. The formation of iron or nickel aluminides through controlled diffusion of ...

Thermal barrier coatings can be applied using different processes. They can be wet-sprayed or applied using an air plasma spray gun, as pictured here. Photo courtesy: GE Power & Water The quest for ...

If you’ve spent any time nosing around under bonnets, crawling under cars and poring over engine bays at any race meeting, whether that’s from club level up to the highest echelons of motorsport, ...

Coatings are developed to protect materials against corrosion and wear in chemical and physical interaction in its environment. Corrosion and wear issues still occur at large scale in diverse ...

There are a number of advantages to dip molding and coating that makes these processes both cost-effective and time-efficient. The molds, called "mandrels," are typically needed for the dip molding ...
