Coating Characteristics

LSR™ process offers a range of aluminide coatings with unique compositions and microstructures to meet your needs. We introduce modifying elements and adjust diffusion cycle duration/temperature for precise, efficient results, enhancing coating ductility to match your requirements

Custom LSR™ Coatings

The LSR™ process offers a world of possibilities in creating coatings with distinct chemical compositions. Imagine utilizing Palladium either in conjunction with Platinum or as a cost-effective alternative to enhance the coatings on both the internal and external surfaces of blades and vanes. But that's not all – we can also introduce other beneficial elements like Chromium, Rhenium, Hafnium, Zirconium, and Yttrium using the LSR™ process to craft innovative coating structures, poised for future evaluation and advancement. The future of coating technology is here, and it's only available through Liburdi Turbine Services.

What our customers have to say

"The service we received was excellent! In fact, it was better than expected; with another vendor, we experienced extensive fall out (blades and vanes identified as not repairable), and we would have partial sets in our inventory. The material Liburdi identified as not repairable was minimal, six row one blades and two row two vanes. We sent spares from our inventory as requested, and they were fitted into the rows to complete the sets [giving us complete sets of blades and vanes, not partial sets]. Liburdi delivered all the material on schedule.

...Overall Liburdi made this process easy by dealing with professional people who are confident with their procedures and the service they provide."

Unlock Peak Performance with Liburdi's RICTM Coating!

Imagine the pain of battling erosion on airfoils, hindering your engine's performance and longevity. But there's a solution – Liburdi's RICTM "Reactive Ion Coating." This innovative ceramic film not only safeguards airfoils on both new and overhauled components but can also be stripped and reapplied as needed. With a glass-like, super-polished surface finish measuring just 6μin, you can expect up to 1% improved Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC) and a remarkable hardness exceeding 3000 HV in a nano-layered ceramic film. That's not all – our new Gen III coating takes things even further by offering an astonishing ASTM Salt Fog corrosion resistance of over 400 hours, drastically enhancing erosion resistance, and extending the coating's lifespan five to ten times longer than the current standard. Say goodbye to airfoil degradation and supply chain issues and hello to optimal compressor performance and longevity, making it a smart choice for turboprop, turboshaft, and turbofan engines.
