Thermal Spray Powders For Aviation & Rotorcraft Businesses
Higher speeds in rotorcraft and aircraft engines reduced maintenance costs, and increased fuel efficiency are what results from using thermal spray powders of the highest quality. They are instrumental in any number of applications for meeting quality requirements and reaching levels of high-performance.
But when it to comes to the rotorcraft and aerospace industry, there are a number of spraying and coating services offered. Additionally, a good company should offer maintenance solutions and structural repair in the aviation industry for a number of applications. A company of that caliper’s service would be highly sought after in both military and civilian applications. Coatings that would be used in such applications would include composite materials, cerment, ceramic, and metal.
Solutions that can be included in the aerospace industry are the three seen below.
Airframe Component Coating
In order to build wear resistance in airframes, hard-faced coatings are primarily used. Not only is thermal spraying the recommended method of superior protection against many secondary neutrons and solar energetic particles, but it is also effective in building resistance against wear, sliding, and fretting, and corrosion to landing gear, flap tracks, and other components used in airframes.
Hot Section Component Coating
When it comes to aero engine components, an integral part of the big picture is thermal barrier coating systems. Most useful in insulating the layers of those systems are spraying materials utilizing Zirconia-based ceramic. Using thermal barrier coatings means that engines will be able to operate at gas temperatures which are higher. Components, on the other hand, are not heated to the same level. Extended component service lifespan and greater fuel control are the results.
Rotorcraft/Aircraft Gas Turbine Engine Coating
In aircraft turbomachinery clearance control applications, only abradable thermal spraying powders which are considered the most instrumental should be used. When it comes to reducing fuel consumption and emissions in turbo-machinery, abradable coatings are highly effective. Thermal spray coatings are commonly used in these applications: oil seals, bearings, compressor seals, high-pressure turbine seals, rotor-path linings, and more.
Is the Coating Material Choice Important?
Before the thermal spray coating process can begin, the appropriate application and material must be determined. A company can cut back on downtime and operational costs with the correct material. Increased overall productivity and improved efficiency will result. The right protective coating and the proper process of application can mean one giant boost to a company’s bottom line. What’s more, with excessive maintenance and part replacement lessened, maintenance teams can lessen their overloaded schedules.
