  • Thermal barrier coatings using intermediate TCE nanocomposites
    Publication number: 20100098961
    Abstract: An intermediate thermal expansion coefficient coating including an NiCoCrAly alloy. The coating contains nanoparticles of the alloy and alumina. A nanocomposite coating is placed on metals to protect them from high gas temperatures by providing thermal insulation. The nanocomposite coating includes a bond coating, an intermediate thermal expansion coefficient coating, and a ceramic top coat. The intermediate thermal expansion coefficient coating comprises a NiCoCrAly alloy and allumina nanoparticles and has a ceramic top coat which is based on zirconi or high purity alumina.
