Publisher's Synopsis
This volume consists of invited and contributed papers presented in the 2nd symposium in the series, "High Temperature Coatings - II", held at Materials Week '95 in Cleveland, Ohio, USA from October 29-November 2, 1995.;This book focuses on the processing and characterization of high-temperature coatings with regard to engineering, physical and chemical properties. Included are discussions regarding the synthesis of new and unconventional coating materials, various existing methods, along with novel techniques for producing coatings, and the removal of coatings in compliance with environmental requirements.;Coverage includes: development of a conversion coating for silicon carbide; a study of the microstructure development of plasma sprayed with ceramic coatings; residual stress, adhesion and thermal spray coatings; structure and properties of sputter-deposited BN thin films; and the formation of protective scales during high-temperature oxidation.
