High Temperature Coatings

Demonstrates how to counteract the thermal effects of the rapid corrosion and degradation of exposed materials and equipment that can occur under high operating temperatures. This guide covers the make-up and behavior of such materials under thermal stress and the methods used for applying them to specific types of substrates.
