A research team from the University of Alberta has discovered what they believe is a groundbreaking material for high-temperature coatings. According to the researchers, it shows strong potential for applications such as hydrogen combustion engines.

Alternatives to nickel-based alloys can help the United States meet its clean energy goals, and scientists at the Argonne National Laboratory believe they are on a fast track to further discovery—including one new coating material with enhanced corrosion resistance.

Jeff Jirak, managing director of AkzoNobel’s global powder coatings business, shares details of the manufacturer’s development partnership with coatingAI. The program aims to assist contractors and installers with application processes while reducing their carbon footprint.
