Abstract
IHI has developed the revolutionary coating and cladding technology, named MSCoating®, which can stably built up the functional coating and cladding, and is expected to replace for the plating, welding and plasma spraying. Fundamental tests for application to aero-engines were carried out and MSCoating® has shown the better performance than the existing methods. Many functional capabilities to increase the efficiency of the aero-engines were developed: the anti-wear coating, abrasive coating, and the overlay coating.
Further applications not only for aero-engine field but also for a wide variety of fields such as the automobile, the medical field are expected.
