Functional coating solutions
To maximise aviation operational efficiency and safety, functional coatings play a vital role. Aviation customers benefit from a uniquely broad range of surface technologies, coating solutions, application equipment, materials, services and manufactured engine components. Read more
COATINGS FOR JET ENGINE COMPONENTS: The objective of a coating is to protect the underlying component and its surface or the mating part and its surface from mechanical, chemical or thermal degradation. We offer thermally-sprayed protective coatings that are applied in compressors, combustors and turbines. With the broadest line of thermal spray coating materials we meet the demanding requirements of the aerospace industry, fulfilling all specifications published by aircraft engine manufacturers. Read more
EXAMPLE: COATINGS FOR HOT SECTION COMPONENTS: Zirconia-based ceramic materials are used as the insulating layer in a thermal barrier coating (TBC) system for aero engine components subjected to excessive operating temperatures. Thermal barrier coatings allow engines to run at hotter gas temperatures while keeping the components much cooler. This results in increased fuel efficiency and greater component durability. Read more
EXAMPLE: COATINGS FOR CLEARANCE CONTROL / ABRADABLES: By being cuttable or abradable, clearance control coatings allow engines to operate with minimal clearances between rotating and stationary components. This pushes efficiency and fuel economy. Read more
COATINGS FOR AIRFRAME COMPONENTS: Our hard-face coatings deliver durable resistance against fretting, sliding and general surface wear and corrosion to airframe components, including actuators, flap tracks and landing gear. Read more
