Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The demand for materials with enhanced corrosion resistance at high temperatures in various industrial applications has driven significant research efforts towards the development of advanced coatings. This thesis focuses on the development of high-temperature corrosion-resistant coatings for industrial applications, aiming to address the challenges associated with degradation and failure of materials exposed to aggressive environments. The study explores the synthesis, characterization, and performance evaluation of novel coatings designed to provide effective protection against high-temperature corrosion. The research begins with a comprehensive review of existing literature on high-temperature corrosion mechanisms, coating materials, and deposition techniques. The literature review highlights the importance of developing coatings that can withstand harsh operating conditions and prolong the service life of industrial components. Various factors influencing the corrosion resistance of coatings, such as composition, microstructure, and environmental conditions, are analyzed to provide a solid foundation for the experimental work. The methodology chapter outlines the experimental approach adopted in this study, including coating synthesis, characterization techniques, and corrosion testing procedures. The research methodology incorporates a systematic investigation of coating properties, such as thickness, adhesion, microstructure, and chemical composition, to assess their influence on corrosion resistance. Corrosion testing involves exposure of coated samples to high-temperature corrosive environments to evaluate their performance under simulated industrial conditions. The findings chapter presents a detailed analysis of the experimental results obtained from the synthesis, characterization, and corrosion testing of high-temperature corrosion-resistant coatings. The discussion focuses on the relationship between coating properties and corrosion resistance, highlighting the key factors contributing to the protective performance of the coatings. The impact of different deposition techniques, alloy compositions, and post-treatment processes on the corrosion behavior of the coatings is thoroughly examined to provide insights into their effectiveness in industrial applications. In conclusion, this thesis offers valuable insights into the development of high-temperature corrosion-resistant coatings for industrial applications. The research contributes to the advancement of coating technology by proposing novel strategies to enhance the corrosion resistance of materials exposed to high-temperature environments. The significance of the study lies in its potential to address the challenges faced by industries operating in corrosive conditions, offering practical solutions to extend the lifespan of critical components and infrastructure.
