SPOTLIGHT ON COATINGS FOR POWER GENERATION AND INDUSTRIAL GAS TURBINES

For many years, Indestructible Paint has provided?coatings for flight turbines?to the majority of the world’s aircraft engine manufacturers. During this time, a lot of development work was done. This was done to make aeroplane engines run more smoothly as performance increased and the demand for cleaner engines grew. Furthermore, Indestructible can now offer similar?high-performance coatings for the Power Generation?and Industrial Gas Turbine businesses. This is thanks to the technologies established during this time. For example, from the intake to all of the compressor stages and all the way to the engine’s hot end. Indestructible offers a variety of?coatings to improve the engine’s performance.

Anti- Corrosion & Anti- Erosion Coatings

Intake fans can be coated with organic anti-corrosion and?anti-erosion coatings?to decrease wear and corrosion. The Ipcote range of inorganic?sacrificial aluminium base coatings and seal coats?are specified for blades, stators, and shafts at all phases of the compressor. They are resistant to corrosion, erosion, and water, as well as temperature performance up to 700oC. Furthermore, special care has been paid to ensuring that coatings have a flawless surface finish. As a result, greater airflow through the compressor is possible, and performance is improved. Extended running periods in both power generating and industrial turbine operation may be easily achieved by specifying these coatings.

Diffusion Coating For Extremely High Temperatures

Indestructible offers a diffusion coating for the hot end that is designed to work at extremely high temperatures in sour gas environments. Ipal,?IP1041?is an inorganic coating. It contains silicone and aluminium particles that diffuse into the surface of the component during processing. Building a metallic structure with the metals within the component. The outcome is a sulphidation- resistant, very durable, high-temperature (up to 1000oC) oxidation-resistant coating.
