Ceramic Protective Coatings

Ultramet applies protective coatings to carbon/carbon and ceramic matrix composites, graphite, refractory metals, and superalloys for operation in severe environments. Low temperature deposition (<752°F [400°C]) is possible to accommodate components with low melting points.

Advantages of Ceramic Protective Coatings

• High temperature oxidation protection for refractory metal-, ceramic-, and carbon-based components
• Deposition at temperatures as low as 10% of the melting point of the coating material
• No porosity (fully dense)
• Availability in various metal carbides, oxides, nitrides, and borides
• High emissivity
• Thermal protection
• Applicability to intricate shapes and textured surfaces

Applications of Ceramic Protective Coatings

• Engine and airframe components
• Fiber interface coatings
• Thermal protection system components
