A classification of basic reasons and destruction mechanisms in housing protective coatings of submerged electro-motors (SEM) is presented. The classification presented is based on the results of the visual inspection, a definition of the character and localization of damages, and also the results of micro-structural researches. The investigation results obtained will allow carrying out with a high degree of reliability a primary identification of destruction reasons in the metalized coating of SEM housings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
