Metal/ceramic abrasion resistant coatings segment is estimated to be the fastest-growing segment in the abrasion resistant coatings market. Rising demands for abrasion resistant coatings with excellent chemical and corrosion resistant properties drive this segment in the abrasion resistant coatings market. Ceramic coatings are inert to acid and alkali actions and, therefore, are very tough in nature. Oxide ceramic coatings are electrically insulated and applied on substrates using thermal spray technique to protect from abrasion and corrosion.
