Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sealing coating, also known as abradable coating, is a common means used to minimize the gas path clearance and reduce blade tip damage on large rotary power equipment such as aircraft engines and gas turbines. This requires the sealing coating to have good abradability. In order to achieve this good abradability, in addition to adding pore phase and solid lubrication phase in the design of the coating to weaken the mechanical properties, the friction and wear behavior, wear mechanism, and failure criteria between the coating and the counterpart blade tip have always been the focus of academic and engineering attention.
