Erosion
Take action before your performance efficiency erodes
Impinging solid particles or water droplets cause material loss from solid surfaces due to mechanical interaction. This causes drops in turbine efficiency and reduction of rotor blade material.
Optimize your erosion resistance
We'll work with you to select a coating for your application, considering such conditions as particle size of erosion media and substrate properties such as temperature capability.
| COATING FAMILY | PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS |
|
Tungsten carbide (WC) |
Heavy erosion protection on a variety of substrate materials with low fatigue debit |
|
Titanium nitride (TiN) |
Excellent low-angle erosion protection on aircraft components where weight and coating thickness are an issue |
