Ceramic Thermal Barrier Coating
They are specifically designed to reduce heat loss from engine exhaust system components including exhaust manifolds turbocharger casings exhaust headers downpipes and tailpipes.
Ceramic thermal barrier coating. A 30 reduction in thermal conductivity translates into an approximately 100 c increase in temperature difference across a 200 µm thick coating. Keco s thermal barrier coatings are heat resistant up to 1200º f continuous. Tungsten grey ceramic coated manifolds. The sealing layers used were the metallic m and the ceramic thermal.
Thermal barrier coating tbc is a coating made of ceramic materials deposited on the surface of a high temperature resistant metal or superalloy. 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. Dan and his ceramic engineering brothers perfected this technology in both their own nascar modified and with leading nascar winston cup teams. By doing so ceramic coating reduces under hood heat temperatures which will increase horsepower.
It is a very durable ceramic reinforced coating available in a variety of colors. The most advanced exhaust system coating available. Our technical specialists are able to provide advice on most. Except yttria stabilized zirconia other materials such as lanthanum zirconate and rare earth oxides are also.
Prepared dy 2 o 3 y 2 o 3 co doped zro 2 ceramics using solid state reaction methods. Zircotec uk s largest thermal barrier ceramic coating offerings paul hilier 2020 08 11t14 55 15 00 00. Ceramics in contrast to metals are often more resistant to oxidation corrosion and wear as well as being better thermal insulators. The coating insulates the substrate material and lowers the substrate temperature.
In the early 1970 s ceramic engineer dan swain developed the first successful ceramic thermal barrier coating for internal engine use. This paper summarizes the basic properties of ceramic materials for thermal barrier coatings. We are also experts in plasma spray processing and the production of high performance surface coatings and finishes. Thus it is a promising ceramic thermal barrier coating material for aero gas turbines and high temperature applications in metallurgical and chemical industry.
Thermal barrier coatings with novel architectures for diesel engine applications. Thermal barrier ceramic coatings are becoming more common in automotive applications. Low thermal conductivity thermal barrier coatings tbcs are preferred as they can increase turbine engine efficiency lower costs reduce emissions and increase durability. Keco has been supplying high performance coatings to leading lighting manufacturers for over 25 years.
Our coatings are specified to satisfy the most demanding applications for industries such as food processing marine corrosion resistant and thermal barrier. 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.
