Ceramic Protective Coatings
Ultramet applies protective coatings to carbon/carbon and ceramic matrix composites, graphite, refractory metals, and super alloys for operation in severe environments. Low temperature deposition ( lessthan 752oF or 400oC) is possible to accommodate components with low melting points. Advantages High temperature oxidation protection for refractory metal- and carbon-based components Deposition at temperatures as low as 10% of the melting point of the coating material No porosity (fully dense) Availability in various metal carbides, oxides, nitrides, and borides High emissivity Thermal protection Applicability to intricate shapes and textured surfaces Applications Engine and airframe components Fiber interface coatings Thermal protection system components Oxyacetylene torch testing showing oxidation stability of carbide-coated carbon/carbon specimen Refractory Carbides Hard, wear-resistant, chemically inert, chemically resistant, and nearl
