This book addresses the problem of surface protection for aircraft engine turbine blades. It is based on the author’s 30 years of work on the development and application of coatings to protect against oxidation and hot corrosion. It describes and details a methodology for optimizing turbine blade surface protection. The distinctions of this book from other publications on this topic include:
The performance of protective coatings is assessed and evaluated by the complex interconnections of their chemical and phase composition, structure, and physical-mechanical properties.
The properties of overlay coatings are given for the wide range of compositions, including the possible coatings states after their production and long-term service.
The principles for calculating the stresses and strains for coated turbine blades are reviewed.
