The recent developments in aerospace, missiles, rockets, automobile engines necessitate the development of thermal barrier coating to protect the costly, precious base structural components from the heat load. Because of the intermediate heat loads, the base materials explode due to high temperature corrosion, alterations in grains etc. Hence, it becomes a major concern to provide a thermal barrier coating which has the property of being easily applied, economical cost and durable life to protect the base materials. This review paper provides a detailed survey on the nickel - tungsten alloy coating by various processes viz electro-deposition, plasma spray, coating behavioural aspects, its mechanical properties, thermal properties and surface topography.
