Abstract:Unprotected surfaces where a coating has been removed due to erosive wear can catastrophically fail from corrosion, mechanical impingement, or chemical degradation, leading to major safety hazards, financial losses, and even fatalities. As a preventive measure, industries including aviation, marine and renewable energy are actively seeking solutions for the real-time and autonomous monitoring of coating health. This work presents a real-time, non-destructive inspection system for the erosive wear detection of … Show more
“…Wear is a detrimental cause that leads to irreversible mutilation of the external surface of aircra and automobiles. 1 Erosion wear has been recognized as the prime reason for several accidents, which have instigated the death of thousands of people. [2][3][4] As the aerospace industry introduces materials with enhanced strength and damage tolerance, there is an increased focus on their susceptibility to wear, especially since these materials oen exhibit reduced resistance to fatigue wear attacks.…”
The aerospace and automotive industries find that relying solely on the intrinsic resistance of alloys is inadequate to safeguard aircraft and automotive structural components from harsh environmental conditions. While it...
