Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue will encompass a broader scope, covering various coating deposition technologies, including electron-beam physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD) and plasma-based techniques. This comprehensive focus aims to explore advancements in the field of coatings for aeronautic applications, emphasizing their role in enhancing engine efficiency and durability. These technologies are crucial for developing coatings with properties such as high strain tolerance, thermal insulation, and corrosion resistance. The issue will also delve into novel non-destructive testing methods for assessing coating integrity and stress, essential for ensuring operational safety and extending the lifespan of aerospace components.
