Any recommended cost effective coatings to extent life of investment cast turbines subject to abrasion and erosion?
Turbines (Hardness is 39HRc) are 2-4" in diameter and used for downhole drilling.
What is the true temperature at which grahitization of diamond occurs? I have read that for Co-based PDC's above 700°C the diamond layer disintegrates. Is this due to graphitization of diamond or a consequence of the Co expanding and the diamond dropping out?
