Casting is used to make thin films for use in such applications as heart–lung machines, special electronic equipment and various specialty applications. Often it is done by allowing the dispersion to flow onto a support surface, usually a polished stainless-steel belt, that caries the film through the successive steps of coating, drying, baking, sintering, recoating, and finally, stripping from the belt.

The current work provides algorithmic solution for cost-effective recoating maintenance which is based on a multidisciplinary research approach. Three recoating maintenance strategies are considered such as Patch recoat, Part recoat and Complete recoat. The Patch recoating strategy involves removal of delaminated or rusted area from a specific patch and applying coating on the patch area. The Part recoat involves the surface preparation and recoating of the Part/component. The complete recoating involves preparation of the surface of all the defected areas and applies new coating including anti-rust, primers and top coat.
