India, Aug. 19 -- The Government of India issued the following news release:

The air we breathe can (be used to) create high-tech, ultra-durable coatings on metal surfaces that can sustain at extreme pressure and temperature by resisting oxidation. Such coatings are useful for equipment used in power plant systems to enhance component longevity.

Engineering components in the power sector face very high pressure and temperature conditions, leading to gradual degradation due to oxidation, corrosion, and thermo-mechanical fatigue.

To protect these components, Ni-based overlay coatings widely recognized for their durability are commonly applied using thermal spray techniques like High Velocity Oxy-Fuel (HVOF), Detonation Spraying, and Atmosp...
