Dip coating, a ubiquitous process in modern materials science and engineering, involves immersing a solid substrate into a liquid and then withdrawing it at a controlled speed to form a coherent film.

A short description of each application process and the properties of the coating developed is given in the below sections. In zinc electroplating, the items to be coated are immersed in a solution ...

When locked into a spec, engineers often have few options to select new materials. That’s especially true in the aerospace and defense industries when it comes to coatings. "It's not easy to change ...

Historically, the corrosion protection of iron- and nickel-based alloys has been improved by aluminide diffusion coatings. The formation of iron or nickel aluminides through controlled diffusion of ...
