Coatings for High-Temperature Environments (eBook)

This book addresses the recent trends in high-temperature coatings that are used to provide oxidation and wear resistance to metallic/ceramic components in extreme environments. Ceramics, intermetallics, organosilicon polymers, cermets, and other materials with great thermal stability have long been recognized for these applications. This book introduces the state of the art in coating materials and processes for high-temperature environments and identifies areas for improvement in materials selection, performance upgrades, design considerations, and manufacturing methods. The book covers a variety of high-temperature coatings prepared through various synthesis processes such as thermal spraying, physical vapor deposition, electrodeposition, and sol-gel methods. It covers corrosion/oxidation, phase stability, and thermal and mechanical behavior of high-temperature coating materials having greater thermal stability.

Amirhossein Pakseresht is an associate professor and head of coating department at FunGlass Centre for Functional and Surface Functionalized Glass, Alexander Dubcek University of Trencin, Slovakia. He received his undergraduate study in materials science and engineering from Tehran University which is the biggest and oldest university in Iran. Pakseresht completed his Ph.D. in materials science and engineering at Materials and Energy Research Center (MERC). During his PhD, he also worked as a researcher in MERC and involved in so many industrial projects. After completion of his Ph.D. He joined the Tehran University as a postdoctoral research associate in the Department of material engineering. In 2019, he joined Amirkabir University (Tehran Polytechnic) as an adjunct research assistant professor and involved in so many projects about coating and composite. Generally speaking, his research interests lie in the area of plasma spraying, with a focus on splat morphology and new thermal barrier coatings. He also has collaborated actively in multidisciplinary materials science, particularly surface science, anti-corrosion coating and composite materials. Dr. Pakseresht authored two books titled production, properties, and application of high-temperature coatings and Handbook of research on tribology in coating and surface treatment in IGI Global, USA. He also authored a book titled Physical chemistry and thermodynamic of materials (in Persian). He has published more than 60 journal papers, 5 patents and 5 international book chapters which were cited 2400 times (h-index 27) until 2023. He is a member of the editorial board and reviewer of more than 10 international scientific journals.
