We are specialists in heat management.

Ceramic thermal barrier coating.

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. It is a very durable ceramic reinforced coating available in a variety of colors. The coating insulates the substrate material and lowers the substrate temperature.

Ceramics in contrast to metals are often more resistant to oxidation corrosion and wear as well as being better thermal insulators. Thermal barrier ceramic coatings are becoming more common in automotive applications. Prepared dy 2 o 3 y 2 o 3 co doped zro 2 ceramics using solid state reaction methods. This paper summarizes the basic properties of ceramic materials for thermal barrier coatings.

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. They are specifically designed to reduce heat loss from engine exhaust system components including exhaust manifolds turbocharger casings exhaust headers downpipes and tailpipes. 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.

In the early 1970 s ceramic engineer dan swain developed the first successful ceramic thermal barrier coating for internal engine use. Our coatings are specified to satisfy the most demanding applications for industries such as food processing marine corrosion resistant and thermal barrier. Thermal barrier coatings with novel architectures for diesel engine applications. Keco s thermal barrier coatings are heat resistant up to 1200º f continuous.

Keco has been supplying high performance coatings to leading lighting manufacturers for over 25 years. Ceramic coating is an excellent thermal barrier. Thus it is a promising ceramic thermal barrier coating material for aero gas turbines and high temperature applications in metallurgical and chemical industry. Our technical specialists are able to provide advice on most.

Dan and his ceramic engineering brothers perfected this technology in both their own nascar modified and with leading nascar winston cup teams. We are also experts in plasma spray processing and the production of high performance surface coatings and finishes. Zircotec uk s largest thermal barrier ceramic coating offerings paul hilier 2020 08 11t14 55 15 00 00. Low thermal conductivity thermal barrier coatings tbcs are preferred as they can increase turbine engine efficiency lower costs reduce emissions and increase durability.

This process is also known as exhaust heat management when used under bonnet these have the positive effect of. The most advanced exhaust system coating available.
