Thermal barrier coatings (TBC) are highly advanced materials systems applied to metallic surfaces, such as on gas turbine or aero-engine parts, operating at elevated temperatures, as a form of exhaust heat management. These coatings create a hard and tough-to-grind surface on turbine blades in different shapes and geometries, from small to quite large-sized parts. These 100 m to 2 mm thermal barrier coatings (TBC) can allow for higher operating temperatures while limiting the thermal exposure of structural components, extending part life by reducing oxidation and thermal fatigue. Due to increasing demand for higher engine performance (efficiency increases at higher temperatures), better durability/lifetime, and thinner coatings, there is an increasing trend in developing and applying TBCs.
These hard-to-grind materials require engineered flexible diamond abrasive solutions to keep productivity at the right pace, costs under control, and servicing within expectations.
Aerospace, Energy (Industrial Gas Turbines)
KGS DIAMOND has developed a special range of super abrasives for grinding/finishing Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBCs) applications. Depending on the diamond grit size selected, these tools can grind a rough surface to the required finish, coping with complex geometries, contoured areas, and cleaning profiles. Suitable for a variety of hard-to-grind materials, including tungsten carbide and chrome carbide, thermal sprays Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) and alumina ceramics. It also easily removes coating oversprays and coatings prior to part refurbishment.
Robots, power tools, pneumatic or electric.
The Quadroflex™ K-Loc is a versatile and flexible diamond tool, rigid enough to remove material at a high rate and flexible enough to follow difficult geometries easily, making it ideal for hard-to-reach areas. KGS Quadroflex™ has a unique and continuous connected wave pattern for general purpose applications, which requires high stock removal. Excellent for cooler grinding and heavy grinding applications. A very strong no clogging pattern with an open structure. It ensures high stock removal and higher pressure per grit.
