Power Generation

•  Land based gas turbines

• Coal fired power stations

• Steam turbines

• Boiler tubes

• Fans / Cyclones

• High temperature applications

Modern Industrial Gas Turbines engines are closely related to their aero derived equivalents and OEM's demand the same level of quality, control and performance as the aerospace industry.

We are able to provide coatings for the fiollowing applications as : Combustor baskets / transition sections, oil seals, bearing seals, compressor casings, turbine blades, nozzles, NGV's, fuel burners and sprayers.

With our extensive machine shop we can provide a one-stop-shop solution for removing existing coatings, re-coat and finishing; inclusive of testing.

For example the HVOF process has been used to create thick oxidation-resistant coatings on large turbine blades and nozzle guide vanes. As well as land based gas turbines, other methods of power generators create environments where components will endure high temperature corrosion and erosion, fine particular abrasion and general wear.

Transition Ducts - Thermal Barrier Coating applied to complex internal surface

There have been several thermally sprayed coating systems developed to combat these issues such as, Plasma sprayed nickel chrome for fireside corrosion, Ceramic coatings for fine particulate abrasions, and carbide coatings for sliding and frictional wear.

Bodycote Metallurgical Coatings Limited have worked closely with OEM’s such as Westinghouse to develop coating process solutions. With complex geometries, materials handling and robotics are critical in the deposition of high quality repeatable coating. The technology integration is a specialty of Bodycote Metallurgical Coatings Limited.
