Book excerpt: The use of coatings in industry is growing and will continue to grow because of the economic and technical advantages they offer over uncoated materials. Although a wide variety of materials and application of techniques are available, much less is known about the properties of specific coatings and their measurement. This 1984 volume contains some 26 papers that were presented at a 1983 symposium organized to explore these questions. The symposium was divided into five sessions dealing with coating technologies, measurement of coating properties, marine coatings, field applied coatings for corrosion control and tribological coatings.
