Steel products can be given a high-grade architectural finish by using a polyester powder coating over hot-dip galvanized steel. This coating is considered as one of the most long-lasting protective ...

As reshoring increases and pressure mounts to get facilities up and running faster, high-performance coatings can help ...

This appendix reviews various coating process technologies: diffusion coating, thermal spray (particulate deposition), physical vapor deposition (atomistic or molecular transfer), and sputtering ...

In a step towards developing advanced materials for functional coatings, a research group has developed a technology that combines structural color coating with super water-repellent properties. The ...

Corrosion and coating mechanics are critical to ensuring the longevity and reliability of structural systems across various engineering disciplines. Contemporary research focuses on understanding the ...

Regardless of customer anticipations, hot-dip galvanized structural steel has a grey coating, rather than a shiny coating. This usually leads to disagreements between galvanizers and their customers.

NOTICE: The project that is the subject of this report was approved by the Governing Board of the National Research Council, whose members are drawn from the councils of the National Academy of ...

The development of melanin-based coating combines structural color with water-repellent and self-cleaning properties, emerging as a next-generation coating material. Ever wondered about the brilliant ...
