Une banque de données sur les revêtements et la corrosion à haute température: un exemple de banque de données sur les matériaux

Abstract

A survey of high-temperature coatings clearly demonstrates that selection of the appropriate coating for a specific application is becoming a challenging and hazardous task, and that it is necessary to have easy access to detailed information on the various types, the various deposition methods, the protectivity characteristics and the applicability of the available coatings. The coatings and high-temperature corrosion data bank will collect in a computerized database, background information on available coatings and high-temperature corrosion resistance of coatings, and on industrial experience with coatings and coating technology for high-temperature applications. The objective is to provide data and information to coating users in the form of either hard copy, disk for personal computer use or network on-line access through an international data network of which the coatings and high-temperature corrosion data bank is planned to be incorporated. The objectives and the implementation of the databank with emphasis on some special features of a materials data bank are presented.
