Thermal barrier coatings deal directly with heat. They are designed to protect the part from the intense engine heat or, in the case of exhaust parts where heat is acceptable, keep the heat inside.

Researchers at University West in Sweden are testing a heat-resistant surface layer for aircraft engine components that reportedly lasts 300% longer than current thermal barrier coatings.

Thermal-barrier coatings hold heat in, heat-dissipating coatings let heat out, and low-friction coatings remove power-robbing and heat-inducing friction.

The mechanical behaviour of thermal barrier coatings in operation holds the key to understanding durability of jet engine turbine blades. Here we report the results from experiments that monitor ...

Honeywell knows thermal barrier coatings (TBC). TBCs are the ultra-thin material systems that protect vital parts from the punishing heat generated by a modern turbine engine. Without them, metal ...

The granules eat into the zirconium dioxide ceramic thermal-barrier coatings that insulate and protect engine components from extremely high temperatures.

Researchers have demonstrated, for the first time, that an optical analysis method can reveal weak areas in ceramic thermal barrier coatings that protect jet engine turbines from high temperatures ...

Engine manufacturers use Thermal Barrier Coatings on cylinder surfaces to cut weight and enhance efficiency, with ZYGO's metrology ensuring precise application.

Request a free sample report Coatings such as thermal barrier coating (TBC) and abradable coatings function as thermal barriers and improve the efficiency and performance of aero-engines.

This article talks about the rapid nanomechanical property mapping of thermal barrier coatings.

A spin-out company from Imperial College London has developed a thermal barrier coating for gas turbine parts that can optically feed back its temperature and ageing status even while the engine is ...
