Abstract: “Turbocharging the internal combustion engine(ICE) is to increase the power density of the engine or known as the downsizing of the engine. Large amount of heat energy is wasted through the exhaust manifold, coolant, convective and radiate heat transfer. The amount of heat loss generated to the surrounding by operating turbine volute will affect the service life of some automotive components. The current material tungsten used for heavy duty automotive turbine volute casing is heavier and costly if to compare to a new suggested material nickel with thermal barrier ceramic coating as an alternative.Thermal barrier coating is an alternative method for insulating cheaper and lighter engineering components operating in extreme temperature condition, there exist different coating techniques, but high installation cost and high technical skills requirement have restricted their widespread acceptance. The need of simple and cost effective thermal barrier coating has become necessary for the al”
