Tel:+34 943 206 744

TEKNIKER laboratory dedicated to the development and validation of advanced coatings designed to withstand high-temperature oxidation and corrosion, with applications in gas turbines, thermal power generation, concentrated solar power and aerospace.

The laboratory combines diffusion/CVD deposition and platinum electrodeposition for the synthesis of aluminide coatings, together with a static high-temperature corrosion testing system capable of operating at temperatures of up to 1,200 °C.

Equipment

• Diffusion/CVD coating equipment in a vertical configuration, with automatic control of the atmosphere and process parameters
• Platinum electrodeposition equipment with a digital rectifier, ultrasonic cleaner and electroplating solutions
• Heat treatment furnace (up to approximately 1,200 °C) operating under controlled atmosphere and high vacuum
• High-temperature static corrosion testing furnace (up to approximately 1,100 °C, with peak temperatures of approximately 1,200 °C), featuring simulated corrosive atmosphere control
• Instrumentation for thermal cycle control and sample collection for subsequent characterisation

• Development of diffusion/CVD coatings and Pt electrodeposition processes to protect against high-temperature oxidation and corrosion
• High-temperature static corrosion testing under representative operating conditions (turbines, solar power generation and biomass)
• Design and optimisation of multilayer coating architectures to improve the efficiency, performance and service life of critical components
• R&D support for new high-performance materials and coatings for the energy and aerospace sectors
