Corrosion protection of SiC-based ceramics with CVDMullite coatings

“…Attempts to manufacture valves and piston heads have already been made in internal combustion engines. [4] Ceramics could also be used in heat exchanger tubes in industrial furnaces for glass remelting, steel soaking, and aluminum reclamation. [5] Need for Coatings Many engineering operations are conducted at high temperatures in an air or oxygen environment.…”
