That's insane. During my tenure in the industry, we had ceramic coatings on the first stage. We were hitting some 1250 C temperatures with these things and they were barely holding up. There was a huge push for efficiency in that era and we would shorten the life of the blades in favor of efficiency, there would be regular inspections and coatings were such a pain in the ass.
