Description
Summary:Nowadays, synergy of the attractive properties of materials while avoiding limitations of their use in isolation is a major driver for flexibility in design and manufacture. This allows tailoring of materials' properties to meet specifications. Composite technology utilizes an excellent combination of properties: strength, stiffness, light weight, wear, chemical, corrosion, and temperature resistance, which transcend those of the constituent materials. Engineering structures, equipment, and vessels in key industries that are material-dependent are susceptible to deterioration process and damage over time in their service conditions. Composite coatings through electro-deposition offer a reliable cost-effective means of impacting special surface properties for corrosion protection, better appearance, and mechanical properties' enhancement. The properties of the composite coatings can be optimized by varying the type, size, amount and distribution of the particles content incorporated among others.
