High-temperature protection coating with built-in thermal sensor
A Swiss school of technology offers a high-temperature protection coating with a built-in thermal sensor. The new functional coating warns against thermal loads by irreversibly changing its colour. The coating can be used on components, which are prone to material degradation from thermal loads, in order to make inspections fast and easy. Components comprise turbines, boilers, pipes or bearings which operate in harsh. Type of partnership: licensing agreement.
