Elsevier Thermal Barrier Coatings (Woodhead Publishing in Materials) (Woodhead Publishing Series in Metals and Surface Engineering): Materials, Manufacturing and Performance

Thermal barrier coatings are used to counteract the effects of high temperature corrosion and degradation of materials exposed to environments with high operating temperatures. The book covers both ceramic and metallic thermal barrier coatings as well as the latest advances in physical vapour deposition and plasma spraying techniques. Advances in nanostructured thermal barrier coatings are also discussed. The book reviews potential failure mechanisms in thermal barrier coatings as well as ways of testing performance and predicting service life. A final chapter reviews emerging materials, processes and technologies in the field. Key Features: reviews the latest advances in processing and performance of thermal barrier coatings, as well as their failure mechanisms; explores the materials and structures of thermal barrier coatings incorporating cover both metallic and ceramic coating materials as well as nanostructured coating.
