Surface Coatings for Industrial Gas Turbines

Hardide has developed a coating for gas turbine blades to increase their durability and improve resistance to erosion from hard particles and high speed water droplets; a combination of benefits not achieved from traditional coating methods including TiN and thermal spray Tungsten Carbide coatings.

Longer lasting blades offer substantial cost savings to power generation companies while optimising performance also saves fuel and reduces greenhouse emissions. Hardide can coat the whole blade uniformly to a very high surface finish.

Applications for Hardide also include:

• Stators
• Vanes
• Shafts
• Flow control
• Pumps
• Rotors
