Abstract
This chapter describes several innovations for improving the performance of high-temperature coatings. Nanocrystallization has been demonstrated to be a practical way to prolong the lifetime of high temperature coatings by decreasing the minimum Al concentration for sustaining the growth of thermally grown oxide (TGO) scales, and increasing the resistance against scale cracks and spallation. Enamel coatings with enhanced strength, toughness and thermophysical properties were developed for improving the hot corrosion resistance of superalloys. Low expansion nanocomposite coatings minimize the mismatch between coefficients of thermal expansion (CTEs) of the TGO scales and the underlying coatings, so allow growth of thicker TGO scales free of cracks and spallation and then prolong the lifetime.
