| This is particularly true concerning the use of cobalt in the superalloy, magnet, and wear-resistance industries. |
| The superalloy industry uses vanadium mainly for aircraft applications, such as for turbine blades and jet engines where high-temperature strength is essential. |
| Although the adhesion of these coatings to superalloy substrates is of primary importance, the thermal conductivity of the coatings must also be known for design purposes. |
| Raymond Decker, a pioneer in superalloy research and technology. |
| Superalloy development has been driven primarily by the aerospace and power industries. |
| On the other hand, mechanical and physical properties of this superalloy make chip removal very difficult. |
