Thermal Barrier Coating Systems
Engineered for thermal insulation, heat protection, and thermal management in high-temperature environments.
System Overview
HTX Thermal Barrier Coating Systems are designed for applications involving thermal insulation, heat protection, and thermal management in high-temperature environments.
The system focuses on equipment-level process configurability and structural stability, supporting multilayer and relatively thick coating architectures for components subjected to thermal gradients or sustained heat loads.
Design Focus
-
Thick and Multilayer Coating Structures:
The system supports coating architectures requiring increased thickness or multilayer configurations, suitable for thermal barrier and heat-management applications.
-
Process Stability-Oriented Design:
System design prioritizes process repeatability and operational stability rather than laboratory-scale extreme performance metrics.
-
e-Gun and Sputtering Process Integration:
The platform allows integration of e-Gun evaporation and vacuum sputtering processes, enabling flexible configuration based on coating structure and material requirements.
-
Target Material Compatibility:
System configurations support metallic and oxide-based target materials for thermal barrier and thermal management coating applications.
