“…In particular, the group of Tabakoff have evaluated many different coatings found in aerospace applications (Pt-Al, Rd-Pt-Al, CrC, NiCrC, Cr, WC-Co, TiC, TiN, Al 2 O 3 and CVD diamond) in a specially constructed high temperature erosion test rig that simulates, as closely as possible, the particle impact conditions found in the engine [5,121,128,[138][139][140][141][142][143][144][145][146][147][148][149][150][151]. Although most of their studies were comparative, they have shown that in many cases the increased ductility at high temperature is beneficial for erosion resistance of hard coatings.…”
