Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The safe operation of many components in industries around the world relies on protective coatings. These coatings often allow process equipment to be purposeful in environments well beyond the operational limit of uncoated components. The durability, ease of application, repairability, reliability and long-term performance of such coatings are key to their application. Therefore, this Special Issue of Coatings, “Recent Research in Coatings for Harsh Environments”, is devoted to research papers and review articles on the metallic, non-metallic, and composite coatings used in aggressive environments.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Coatings for high-temperature and molten-salt applications;
- Thermal spray and cold spray coatings for aggressive environments;
- Corrosion-, wear-, and cavitation-resistant coatings;
- Coatings for mitigating marine corrosion;
- Coatings for nuclear applications;
- Coatings for oil and gas exploration and production environments;
- Coating for chemical and petrochemical plants;
- Thermal barrier coatings;
- Coatings for applications in space;
- Coatings for cryogenic applications;
- Coatings for carbon capture and storage (CCS) applications;
- Coatings for geothermal applications.
