The market places increasingly stringent demands on the efficiency of gas turbine engines used in the aerospace and power generation industries. This is driven by the need to reduce fossil fuel consumption and operating costs. The main means of improving turbine efficiency is to increase the operating temperature of the hot section of the engine turbine. The materials used must withstand higher temperatures as well as mechanical stress, corrosion, erosion and other severe operating conditions while providing the extended life required by the end user. In this field, coating processes have now made a significant contribution.
The mass production EB-PVD system of our cooperative R&D unit is equipped with a central coating chamber containing two electron beam guns and a zirconium oxide ceramic reservoir, which will allow the coating process to be performed over several days. The EB will produce a uniform vapor cloud, where the part can be rotated, tilted or both simultaneously to match the part geometry and the specified coating thickness distribution requirements.
Two-layer coating systems, such as CMAS protection and low-k applications, can be achieved with the integrated ingot translator, which allows the deposition of two different materials in one coating run. High-performance electron beam evaporation of metals and ceramics. Bonding, diffusion and thermal barrier coatings can be produced in a step-by-step process with high deposition rates.
The EB-PVD process will produce a thermal barrier coating with controlled thickness distribution, excellent dendritic structure, strong anchoring and smooth surface properties. The TBC coating will absorb high thermal stresses and increase the turbine operating temperature, thus achieving the expected benefits of reduced fuel consumption, increased efficiency and longer turbine life.
The basic design includes a coating chamber, a heating chamber and a loading\/unloading chamber. The modular design allows further expansion: for example: a coating machine can be converted to 2 feeders. Our cooperative R&D unit provides more than 50 years of experience and dozens of references for coating system blades and guide vanes. The coating machine with 4 feeders enables continuous batch production of turbine components with high output and efficiency.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>","protected":false},"featured_media":2775,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[68,139],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2776","machinery-equipment","type-machinery-equipment","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-electron-beam-physical-vapor-deposition-ebpvd-equipment","category-associated-equipment"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenstone-tech.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/machinery-equipment\/2776","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenstone-tech.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/machinery-equipment"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenstone-tech.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/machinery-equipment"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenstone-tech.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/machinery-equipment\/2776\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4940,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenstone-tech.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/machinery-equipment\/2776\/revisions\/4940"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenstone-tech.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2775"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenstone-tech.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2776"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenstone-tech.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2776"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenstone-tech.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2776"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
