ZirPro offers the most comprehensive portfolio of zirconia powders from monoclinic to yttria-stabilized. ZirPro powders exhibit a large range of particle size distribution, reactivity and chemical purity.
Modern diesel, gas and turbine engines are being operated at increasingly higher temperatures in order to improve combustion performance, lower operating costs and reduce environmental impact. This is particularly the case in the aerospace and land-based power turbine industries. To maintain system reliability and ensure stable and efficient operation at these higher temperatures, protective coatings have become an integral part of the design and operation of today’s engines.
Zirconia-based ceramic coatings, usually stabilized with dopants like yttria, have demonstrated superior performance in providing the best combination of thermal insulation, wear, oxidation and corrosion resistance. In addition to their chemical properties, these ceramic thermal barrier coatings are capable of forming the microstructure and porosity necessary to achieve optimum performance.
