Physical Vapour Deposition Reactive Ion Coating - RICTM EbPVD
The Reactive Ion Coating RICTM process is plasma assisted electron beam evaporation Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) process used to deposit hard, erosion resistant Titanium Nitride coatings for gas turbine compressors.
Volcanic ash, Calcium carbinate, Silica and Alumina sand partculate are all current problems with engine performance. Rapid decay of blades and vanes require erosion resistant coatings for engine survivability on wing. Liburdi has provided this technology for over two decades in commercial and military applications around the world.
