Abradable Coating for Enhanced Turbo machinery Efficiency: Our abradable materials revolutionize safety, cut fuel consumption, and minimize emissions in various turbo machinery applications, including aviation and power generation gas turbines, steam turbines and turbochargers.
Our abradable materials revolutionize safety, cut fuel consumption, and minimize emissions in various turbomachinery applications, including aviation and power generation gas turbines, steam turbines and turbochargers.
The term "abradable" describes materials or coatings designed to gradually wear away through contact with another surface. This technology significantly reduces friction, minimizing damage to critical surfaces. Abradable materials find extensive use in rotating machinery, such as gas turbines, where they serve as coatings or inserts in the casing surrounding turbine blades.
In high-speed rotating machinery like gas turbines, our abradable coatings create a controlled clearance between the blade tips and casing. This minimizes rubbing, friction, wear, vibration, and noise, while enhancing efficiency and overall performance.
We design and produce high-quality abradable coatings for various critical turbomachinery applications.
Our composite abradable thermal spray powders guarantee long-lasting service, and we employ an in-house testing rig to simulate engine conditions. This allows us to rapidly and confidently qualify abradable solutions under diverse conditions.
High quality abrdable solutions significantly enhance the efficiency and safety of aircraft propulsion engines, logging millions of flight hours annually in both civil and military turbofan, turboprop, and turboshaft engines.
