Thermal Barrier Coatings

We offer powders for creating TBC (Thermal Barrier Top Coats) according to the specification below:

Properties

  • high melting point
  • no phase transformation between room temperature and operating temperature
  • low thermal conductivity
  • chemical inertness
  • thermal expansion similar to and matched with the metallic substrate
  • good adhesion to the substrate
  • low sintering rate for a porous microstructure

Coating benefits

  • reduces thermal exposure of structural components
  • extends part life by reducing oxidation and thermal fatigue
  • increased engine efficiency
  • applying the coating translates into lower emitted pollutants

Application examples

Gas turbine blades.
