The experimental research of ceramic coatings on engine components, as well as the evaluation of their performance, is discussed in this work. Engine efficiency, pollution, and combustion characteristics have also been studied in relation to the ceramic coatings on engine components. Furthermore, several ceramic coating materials and coating processes have been thoroughly studied. For a better understanding of the relevance of the ceramic coating, experimental findings of ceramic coated and non-coated engine components were compared. A few issues in emissions and engine performance have also been identified as areas where additional research is needed. The use of optimization techniques in ceramic coating on engines, as well as analysis of variance (ANOVA) to understand the major parameters impacting engine performance, has been explored.
