Technological Archives of R & D Activities about Corrosion-Resistant Materials and Protective Coating Systems at High Temperatures in Japan - Historical Retrospection and Future Prospect -
In order to search for the future technological strategy about the high-temperature materials including the coating systems with superior environmental performance, historical archives have been made on the research reports of the JSPS 123rd Committee; about Heat-Resisting Materials and Alloys, for more than 50 years. According to the historical and economic backgrounds associated with a variety of the fuel utilization, the environment-resistant materials have been developed to apply skillfully against different kinds of aggressive environments. Furthermore, future prospects of the corrosion-resistant materials and coating systems were attempted from the viewpoints of both the global environment protection and the energy saving and/or new energy development which must contribute for a prevention of the global warming.
