Turbine Blades

Equipment for Thermal Barrier Coatings

As a manufacturer or coater of turbine blades, you have to master production processes at the edge of what is technically possible. And it is important that the ratio between costs, quality and delivery time is right. Above all, you expect high reliability and availability from your equipment.

What are the advantages of turbine blade coating?

Air traffic is growing steadily and so are the demands on engines. They shall be quieter, save fuel and be low in emissions. To meet these requirements, turbines have to withstand ever higher temperatures and temperature fluctuations.

This is achieved with high-performance ceramic coatings using electron beam evaporation technology. Such thermal barrier coatings contribute to longer turbine blade life and enable more efficient combustion.

VON ARDENNE offers the optimal coating equipment for this application based on more than 65 years of technology experience.
