Protecting Critical Components
Thermal management is critical to equipment reliability, process efficiency, and performance retention. APS Materials develops application-specific coating systems to regulate heat flow, mitigate thermal stress, and help maintain dimensional stability across sectors.
Materials We Apply
Material selection is matched to operating conditions, substrate, and performance objectives. These are the systems most often specified for this application.
Thermal Barrier
Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) reduce heat transfer to underlying substrates, protecting components exposed to elevated operating temperatures and repeated thermal cycling. These ceramic materials provide thermal insulation while helping preserve substrate integrity and dimensional stability.
- Alumina Silicate/Mullite
- Ceria-Stabilized Zirconia
- Gadolinium-Zirconate
- Hafnia
- YSZ
Heat Dissipation
Thermally conductive coatings facilitate the transfer and distribution of heat away from localized hot spots. These materials are used where efficient thermal conductivity is essential for temperature control, process stability, and reliable operation.
- Aluminum
- Copper
- Copper-Nickel Alloys
- Silver-Based Coatings
- Nickel-Based Alloys
- Molybdenum
