This document discusses the functions and applications of coatings. Coatings can serve decorative, informational, protective, and physical barrier purposes. Examples of applications include providing corrosion protection, wear resistance, and thermal/electrical isolation. Specific applications mentioned are print rolls in printing, turbine blades in power generation, wear parts in mining, household devices, synchro rings, and hip implants.

1. Function of coatings:
• Decoration
• Information (signals)
• Corrosion protection
• Wear protection
• Physical effects (diffusion barrier, flame barrier,
thermal isolation, electrical isolation, …)
