Ceramic Thermal Barrier Coating

Prepared dy 2 o 3 y 2 o 3 co doped zro 2 ceramics using solid state reaction methods.

Ceramic thermal barrier coating. Thermal barrier coatings with novel architectures for diesel engine applications. The coating insulates the substrate material and lowers the substrate temperature. Thus it is a promising ceramic thermal barrier coating material for aero gas turbines and high temperature applications in metallurgical and chemical industry. In the early 1970 s ceramic engineer dan swain developed the first successful ceramic thermal barrier coating for internal engine use.

Keco has been supplying high performance coatings to leading lighting manufacturers for over 25 years. Low thermal conductivity thermal barrier coatings tbcs are preferred as they can increase turbine engine efficiency lower costs reduce emissions and increase durability. A 30 reduction in thermal conductivity translates into an approximately 100 c increase in temperature difference across a 200 µm thick coating. Ceramics in contrast to metals are often more resistant to oxidation corrosion and wear as well as being better thermal insulators.

They are specifically designed to reduce heat loss from engine exhaust system components including exhaust manifolds turbocharger casings exhaust headers downpipes and tailpipes. Our technical specialists are able to provide advice on most. By doing so ceramic coating reduces under hood heat temperatures which will increase horsepower. This paper summarizes the basic properties of ceramic materials for thermal barrier coatings.

Thermal barrier coating tbc is a coating made of ceramic materials deposited on the surface of a high temperature resistant metal or superalloy. This process is also known as exhaust heat management when used under bonnet these have the positive effect of. Thermal barrier ceramic coatings are becoming more common in automotive applications. It is a very durable ceramic reinforced coating available in a variety of colors.

The sealing layers used were the metallic m and the ceramic thermal. Except yttria stabilized zirconia other materials such as lanthanum zirconate and rare earth oxides are also. We are specialists in heat management. Ceramic coating is an excellent thermal barrier.

Devices such as engine turbine blades can operate at high temperatures and can increase the thermal efficiency of devices engines etc by more than 60. Tungsten grey ceramic coated manifolds. The most advanced exhaust system coating available. Our coatings are specified to satisfy the most demanding applications for industries such as food processing marine corrosion resistant and thermal barrier.

A sealing layer over the top coat was also applied to prevent fuel and combustion gases entering the pores of the ceramic coating which may cause engine performance losses 5 6 8 11. Keco s thermal barrier coatings are heat resistant up to 1200º f continuous.
