FAQ

Do I need to strip the APS to perform repairs?

Yes, APS coatings must be stripped before heat treatments and life-rejuvenating repairs. This ensures the alloy can withstand the high temperatures required to restore its mechanical properties and allows for proper adhesion of the new coating.

Why can't I use a mini tip repair?

It depends, on the type of repair to be performed along with the existing condition of the parent material and coatings.

FAQ

Are all gas turbine coatings alike?

Choosing coatings tailored to specific plant requirements is crucial, as the standard OEM coating, inherently a compromise, may not align optimally with the unique needs of your plant, including fuel, environmental considerations, and operational goals. Post-service metallurgical analysis plays a key role in evaluating whether an alternative coating would prove more effective. Leveraging Liburdi's expertise ensures the adept selection of the most suitable coating for each application and environment. In instances of peaking applications, a distinct coating is preferred for enhanced protection and extended component life, effectively preventing issues such as coating cracking and airfoil damage.

What is the difference between defusion coatings and overlay coatings?

Diffusion coatings use up the base material as part of the coatings. You have to consider that during repair you'll loose wall thickness. Overlay coatings are an addition on top of the base material. During repair the integrity of the parts is less compromised.

Why are some gas turbine coatings metallic and some ceramic?

The metallic coatings are oxidation and corrosion resistant. The ceramic coatings provides thermal resistance and are always used in conjuction with a metallic undercoating.

Can Liburdi's Thermal Spray Coatings Enhance Wear Resistance with Hard-Facing Solutions like CrC?

Yes. Hard facing coatings like CrC are used throughout the turbine to prevent fretting.

Protect Airfoils and Turbine Components with Erosion Resistant Coatings

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.

FAQ

What compressor alloys can be coated with RICTM?

Most stainless steels, Nickle, and Titanium alloys can be coated with Liburdi's RICTM Coating.

Can RICTM alloys be stripped from parts without damaging parent material?

RICTM coatings can be stripped from Stainless Steel, Nickel, and Cobalt alloys. RICTM coatings can not be easily stripped from Titanium.

How long do RICTM erosion resistant coatings last in service?

Typically RICTM coatings will extend the life of compressor components by 2 to 10 times. However, this depends on many factors including part type, engine design, and operating environment.
