Thermal Effects

Coatings are used to control thermal effects in various applications for several reasons. Thermal effects can refer to the heat generated or transferred within a system, and controlling these effects is crucial for maintaining the performance, durability, and safety of many devices and structures. The use of coatings to manage this thermal energy is well known. Applications range from thermal insulation, thermal conductivity, and the management of other thermal effects.

Thermal coatings are designed to manage specific thermal properties such as conduction, insulation, and absorption. They can enhance or reduce heat transfer, protect materials from high temperatures, and reflect or absorb heat as needed for different applications. These coatings are critical for maintaining the performance and longevity of components in industries like aerospace, automotive, and energy.

Coating solutions developed by Oerlikon Metco result in excellent management of thermal effects. Our solutions provide industry with: Components and systems that work more efficiently, long-lasting solutions that help reduce operational costs and Solutions that help reduce the cost of manufacturing. We work to continually improve our materials technology to meet today’s evermore demanding requirements and our application technology to apply these coatings more reliably and at lower cost.
