Thermal Barrier Coating Solutions

Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBC) are ceramic coatings applied to high-temperature-resistant metals or superalloys, serving as insulators to reduce the base material's temperature. This allows the components (such as engine turbine blades) to operate at high temperatures, and can enhance the thermal efficiency of components (like engines) by over 8%.

The concept of thermal barrier coatings was first proposed in the 1950s. After a long period of exploration in material selection and preparation processes, a significant breakthrough was achieved in the early 1980s, laying a solid foundation for the application of thermal barrier coatings. With the application of thermal barrier coatings on the hot-end components of high-temperature engines, Western countries recognized the extraordinary value of thermal barrier coatings and began to increase their research and development efforts.

As the development of aviation, aerospace, and civil technology progresses, the temperature requirements for hot section components have increased significantly, reaching the extreme limits of superalloys and single materials. For example, in gas turbines, components such as nozzles, blades, and combustion chambers are subjected to extreme environments of high-temperature oxidation and erosion by high-velocity gas flow. They endure temperatures as high as 1100°C, exceeding the maximum temperature for high-temperature nickel alloys (1075°C), making them susceptible to damage. The advent of thermal barrier coatings has protected these high-temperature hot sections, thereby enabling aircraft engines and industrial gas turbines to operate at higher temperatures, enhancing the efficiency of these critical facilities.
