Evaluation and Analysis of the Erosion Performance of Flame Spray-Coated Polyurethane Liners
DownloadFall 2016
Polyurethane has excellent wear resistance and is an effective protective liner against erosion caused by the impact of solid particles. However, similar to most polymeric materials, polyurethane has low thermal and electrical conductivity, and this limits its applicability for use in...
