Thesis Overview

The project titled "Development of High-Temperature Resistant Coatings for Aerospace Applications" focuses on addressing the critical need for advanced coatings that can withstand extreme temperatures and harsh conditions experienced in aerospace applications. This research aims to develop innovative coatings that can protect aerospace components from high temperatures, corrosion, and wear, thereby improving the overall performance and longevity of these components. The aerospace industry relies heavily on materials that can withstand high temperatures, as components such as engine parts, turbine blades, and heat shields are subjected to intense heat during operation. Traditional coatings may not always provide adequate protection under these extreme conditions, leading to performance degradation and increased maintenance costs. Therefore, the development of high-temperature resistant coatings is crucial to ensuring the safety and efficiency of aerospace systems. This research will involve a comprehensive investigation into the properties and performance of various coating materials under high-temperature conditions. Different coating techniques, such as thermal spray, chemical vapor deposition, and physical vapor deposition, will be explored to determine their effectiveness in providing thermal protection and corrosion resistance. Advanced characterization techniques, including scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and thermal analysis, will be employed to evaluate the microstructure and properties of the developed coatings. The project will also include testing the coated samples under simulated aerospace conditions to assess their thermal stability, adhesion strength, and resistance to oxidation and erosion. The data obtained from these tests will be analyzed to optimize the coating composition and deposition parameters for maximum performance. Additionally, economic and environmental factors will be considered to ensure that the developed coatings are cost-effective and sustainable for aerospace applications. Overall, the research on the "Development of High-Temperature Resistant Coatings for Aerospace Applications" aims to contribute to the advancement of materials science and engineering by providing innovative solutions to enhance the performance and reliability of aerospace components operating in high-temperature environments. This research has the potential to revolutionize the aerospace industry by introducing novel coatings that can withstand extreme conditions, leading to improved safety, efficiency, and durability of aerospace systems.
