Turbine Blades

Equipment for Thermal Barrier Coatings

Manufacturers and coaters of turbine blades operate at the limits of technical feasibility. They must balance cost, quality, and delivery time while relying on equipment that offers maximum reliability and availability.

The VON ARDENNE coating equipment is designed precisely for these demands. It provides the ideal coating solution for next‑generation thermal barrier layer systems and is backed by more than 60 years of expertise in electron‑beam systems and technologies.

What are the advantages of turbine blade coating?

As air traffic continues to grow, engines must become quieter, more efficient, and lower in emissions. To achieve this, turbines need to endure increasingly high temperatures and rapid temperature changes.

This is achieved with high-performance ceramic coatings using electron beam evaporation technology. Such thermal barrier coatings contribute to longer turbine blade life and enable more efficient combustion.
