These coatings are known for their excellent adhesion, thermal stability, and resistance to environmental degradation, making them ideal for industries that demand robust and reliable solutions.

Understanding Protective Coatings that Control Oxidation and Decarburization

Oxidation and decarburization are common issues faced by many industries, especially those involving high-temperature processes. Let’s delve deeper into these phenomena:

• Oxidation: This is a chemical reaction where metal reacts with oxygen in the air to form metal oxides. This reaction typically occurs at high temperatures and can lead to the formation of scale, which not only weakens the metal but also can cause structural failures. For instance, in steel, iron oxide (rust) forms on the surface, leading to material degradation.
• Decarburization: This refers to the loss of carbon from the surface layer of a carbon-containing alloy. When exposed to high temperatures, the carbon reacts with oxygen or hydrogen, resulting in a decrease in the carbon content near the surface. This process diminishes the hardness and strength of the metal, making it less durable and more prone to wear and failure.

The Science and Technology of Protective Coatings

To combat these issues, our protective coatings utilize advanced materials science to form a barrier between the metal surface and the environment. Here’s how they work:

• Barrier Protection: Our coatings create a physical barrier that prevents oxygen and other reactive gasses from reaching the metal surface. This barrier is crucial in high-temperature environments where oxidation and decarburization are most likely to occur.
• Chemical Resistance: The coatings are formulated to withstand harsh chemical environments, reducing the risk of chemical reactions that could degrade the metal.
• Thermal Stability: Our water-based glass and ceramic coatings maintain their integrity at high temperatures, ensuring continuous protection even in the most demanding conditions. This stability is achieved through the use of advanced ceramic compounds that do not break down or melt at elevated temperatures.
• Adhesion and Durability: The coatings are engineered to bond strongly with the substrate, providing long-lasting protection. This strong adhesion ensures that the coating remains intact and effective throughout the lifecycle of the component.
