An international team of researchers is trying to find an answer to the question of whether modern MAX-type coatings will find application as turbine components for aircraft engines. The project, as part of the National Science Centre’s Weave-UNISONO competition, is being carried out with the participation of researchers from the Silesian University of Technology.
MAX materials are a new group of materials that bridge the gap between ceramic materials and metals. They are resistant to thermal shock, oxidation and corrosion and are characterised by high fatigue and creep strength. For this reason, they may have applications in high-temperature environments, such as as protective coatings for stationary and aerospace turbine components.
The project ‘Use of nanolaminate coatings for high-temperature applications’ involves partners from the Łukasiewicz Research Network, the Upper Silesian Institute of Technology, the Silesian University of Technology and the German RWTH Aachen University and the German Aerospace Center (DLR).
