Vapor Coatings

Today’s turbine engine is designed and operated at such high temperatures to improve fuel and burn and efficiency that the environmental conditions can lead to wide range of damage. As a result, individual turbine engine components often requires several coating systems to protect the underlying base materials of the component. One of these ‘Special Process ‘ solutions is Vapor / Diffusion Coatings. These processes and are used extensively through the Gas Turbine Industry.
