Research has proven that coating parts, especially those in the engine, can yield better performance and enhance the life of a component. Different coatings are designed to and are capable of reducing ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- More powerful and more durable diesel, aircraft and gas-turbine engines may rev up soon, says a Purdue University engineer who is investigating using ceramics to protect engine ...

Editor's Note: In this second and concluding part of our investigation into coatings for circle track applications, we'll review a couple of pertinent points and then wrap our thoughts around some of ...

You've finally decided to spruce up that dull-looking engine bay, but you're caught up in the dilemma of deciding whether or not you want to paint or powder coat those metal engine parts. Before you ...

CVD coatings can be applied with such precision and consistency that designers can tighten tolerances even on intricate internal passages on components such as this turbine blade. Design engineers ...

I visited an engine manufacturing plant in Spain, where I saw a process called Bore Spray Coating, where a cylinder coating was sprayed directly onto the aluminum block cylinders instead of using ...

Chromalloy’s coatings have advanced from basic aluminide protection for high-pressure turbine blades and vanes in the 1960s to the multilayered thermal barrier coatings needed on the latest turbofans.

Greene Tweed replaces metal stator vanes with DLF material co-molded with a metal leading edge that meets performance, cost ...
