Call for Paper - SI on Advanced Surfaces and Coatings Employed in Turbomachinery

Special Issue on Advanced Surfaces and Coatings Employed in Turbomachinery

Aims and Scopes

The protection of turbo-machinery and offshore applications against erosion, corrosion, and abrasion is a global concern in the energy sector as well as other industries. This problem is globally observed in hydro as well as power plants, mining, marine, cementing, food processing, and ore-processing industries. The components of turbines, pipeline circuits, marine pumps, slurry pumps, ash disposal systems, mining equipment, etc. suffer from material loss problems. These machineries have low life in the accelerated slurry conditions therefore these materials are coated with ceramics and alloy coatings. The Fe, Ni, Co, WC, and Cr-based alloys are adopted for protection against erosion, corrosion, and abrasion. However, more advanced coatings are required to tackle such problems. This special issue will be focused on the application of various coating techniques such as thermal spray, cold sprays, and electrochemical deposition. The special issue on “Advanced Surfaces and Coatings Employed in Turbomachinery” is intended to enrich the literature with more advanced and novel solutions to the problem of protection of turbomachinery applications. The special issue is focused on the inspection, monitoring, prediction, control, and diagnosis the erosion, corrosion, and abrasion in various surfaces and coatings used in different turbomachinery.
