Durable Ceramic Nanocomposite Thermal Barrier Coatings for Metals And Refractories

Description:

The technology centers around a unique coating composition comprising a polysilazane resin base, enhanced with various additives such as aluminum silicate nanotubes and ceramic microspheres. This composition, when applied and cured on substrates, forms a ceramic layer that exhibits superior thermal management and durability characteristics. The versatility of the coating allows it to be applied through various methods and cured at high temperatures to achieve either an amorphous or crystalline ceramic material, tailored to specific application needs.

 

Key Advantages:

  • Significantly improved thermal conductivity and abrasion resistance.
  • Versatile application methods including spin coating, draw down, and wet applicator techniques.
  • Ability to form both amorphous and crystalline ceramic layers.
  • Enhanced durability of coated surfaces, extending their lifespan and performance.
  • Customizable properties through the use of different additives.

 

Problems Solved:

  • Overcoming thermal management challenges in high-temperature environments.
  • Increasing the abrasion resistance of critical components in machinery and equipment.
  • Extending the life and performance of coated surfaces under extreme conditions.
  • Providing a versatile solution applicable to a wide range of materials and substrates.

 

Market Applications:

  • Protective coatings for turbine blades and other high-temperature engine components.
  • Enhanced ceramic layers for firearm barrels, offering improved durability and performance.
  • Wear-resistant coatings for pistons and other moving parts in automotive and aerospace industries.
  • Thermal management solutions for electronics and heat-sensitive equipment.
