Coatings for Harsh Environments

<p>T<span class=ql-cursor>?</span><span style=color: gray;>he operation of numerous components that are critical to safety in industries around the world relies on protective coatings. These coatings often allow process equipment to serve a purpose in environments well beyond the operational limit of the uncoated components. Durability ease of application repairability reliability and long-term performance of such coatings are all key to their application. Therefore this book Coatings for Harsh Environments is devoted to research and review articles on the metallic non-metallic and composite coatings used in aggressive environments. In particular the topics of interest include but are not limited to: coatings for high temperature and molten salt applications; thermal spray and cold spray coatings for aggressive environments; corrosion wear and cavitation resistant coatings; coatings for mitigating marine corrosion; coatings for chemical and petrochemical plants; thermal barrier coatings.</span></p>
