Recent initiatives and developments in high temperature technology
aim at the exploitation of fuels end processes at the edge of
present materials capabilities, driving service temperatures higher
and operating within ever more aggressive environmental conditions.
The major driving force behind this trend is increased efficiencies
and further growing efforts in environmental protection. The key to
reliable operation of components for sufficiently long service
periods to a large extent lies in the high temperature properties
of the materials used, with high temperature corrosion resistance
as the major life and performance-limiting factor. As conventional
alloy design invariably leads to a compromise between mechanical
strength and corrosion resistance industry has turned to coatings
to provide improved materials performance. Consequently there is
extensive worldwide activity to develop high performance protective
coating systems, to prevent or minimise damage by corrosion, as
well as by abrasion, wear and erosion at elevated temperature. Many
of these systems (which may consist of surface modified bulk
materials or genuine coating systems and in some cases also of
special alloy approaches) are based on systematic development
starting from present theoretical understanding including
laboratory data and ending up in tailor-made solutions for
industrial applications.
