Today’s turbine engine is designed and operated at such high temperatures to improve fuel and burn and efficiency that the environmental conditions can lead to wide range of damage. As a result, individual turbine engine component often require several coating systems to protect the underlying base materials of the component. One of these ‘Special Process ‘ solutions is Vapor / Diffusion Coatings. These processes are used extensively through the Gas Turbine Industry.
