Properties of coatings (structure, porosity, density, stress, corrosion, hydrogen permeation, adhesion, tribology, fatigue and thermal contact conductance) produced by a number of deposition methods including electrodeposition, physical vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition, and flame spraying art; compared. In most cases, the films did not exhibit similar properties. In addition, process conditions often could be varied for any given coating process and this, in turn, would affect microstructure and hence the properties. No coating system provided best results for all these properties. In some cases, electroplated films provided superior results while in others PVD or CVD were best.
