MCrAlYpinnoitteita
MCrAlYpinnoitteita, pronounced "em-cee-ar-al-why-pin-oy-tay-teet-ta", refers to MCrAlY coatings, where M represents a metal such as nickel, cobalt, or iron. These coatings are a class of materials widely used in high-temperature applications, particularly in the aerospace industry, for the protection of components exposed to extreme thermal and corrosive environments. The composition typically includes chromium (Cr), aluminum (Al), and yttrium (Y), with the specific 'M' metal forming the base.
The primary function of MCrAlY coatings is to provide oxidation and hot corrosion resistance. The aluminum
These coatings are typically applied using thermal spray techniques, such as electron beam physical vapor deposition
