The Application of High Temperature Coatings Helps Keep the Effect of Moisture to a Minimum
Systems that are regularly
exposed to high temperatures are protected by high temperature coatings, or
HTCs. They are made to withstand temperatures between 150 and 800 degrees
Celsius. Utilizing HTCs helps maintain efficiency, lessen thermal fatigue,
prevent corrosion under insulation (CUI), and reduce heat losses. The worst
issue facing the petrochemical industry is CUI. When moisture penetrates the
insulation, corrosion can flourish because of the high temperature. Utilizing
HTCs reduces the impact of moisture, which ultimately results in energy and
financial savings.

Due to improved thermodynamic
efficiency and decreased pollutant emissions, economic and environmental
concerns are now viewed as motivations for operating engines at higher
temperatures. Early advances in materials and processes dominated the search
for higher temperatures. There were significant advancements in casting
technologies, the appearance of superalloys in the early 1950s, and the development
of the cooling system for turbine blades in the 1960s. Although directional and
single-crystal solidification, alloy improvement, and other factors have made
significant contributions over the past 20–30 years, the emphasis today may be
on coating systems that have enabled gas temperatures to rise to 1100°C.
A major challenge is the lack of
consumer awareness of high temperature corrosion risks in medium and small
industries. Additionally, the oil industry is a factor in the availability of
raw materials.
