Los Angeles Chapter: September 2021
Presenting Dr. Satish Dixit:
Thin and Thick Film Coatings and applications in Aerospace Industry
Abstract: Coatings for wear, erosion, corrosion etc. have been implemented on over 500 different applications in the aerospace industry. This includes, aircrafts used for commercial as well as military purposes along with critical components used in the Space exploration applications. In this talk I will be primarily focusing on thin and thick film coatings particularly applicable to functional aerospace components that are subjected to severe wear, corrosion, erosion etc. Thin films are critical where post processing is not an option and thick films are essential on more robust applications where endurance and strength is desired. I will be highlighting some of the applications developed in house as well as the applications prevalent predominantly within the industry at large.
