Abstract
The present study reviews tibological perfomance of PEEK (Polyetheretherketone)coating on metallic parts for several environment coditions in automotive, petrochemical, Oil and Gas industries. Protection of metallic components under wear and corrosive condition is the main challenge for industies. Alloys and ceramic coatings are expensive alternatives and the same time they are proven not only effective way to reduce wear and corrosion. It is an attempt to discuss the perfomance of PEEK coating under critical operating conditions like load, environmental pressure and temperature, wear and corrosive environment.Several tests were performed to evaluate the perfomance of PEEK on steel and alumina substrate by thermal spray technology. It can be stated the used PEEK have satisfactorily perfomance in wear and corrosion tests promising to be a very effective solution for wear and corrosion applicaton.
