High Temperature Coatings for Low Inertia Turbocharger Turbine Wheels (TurboCoat)

高温涂层低惯性涡轮增压器涡轮机车轮（TurboCoat）研究用于涡轮增压器部件的涂层，作为使用新的先进基础材料的推动技术。该项目的重点是涡轮机叶轮，目前该叶轮是由一种非常昂贵的镍合金Inconel制造的。涡轮增压器行业正在开发新的基础材料，以降低成本和降低惯性，然而，随着汽油发动机的排气温度超过1000度。C.这些材料将需要表面涂层以在这种极端环境下耐用。该项目将研究潜在的新涂层，应用技术和表面处理，使这些新材料能够承受涡轮增压器的恶劣环境。将进行小规模的样品测试，以确定哪种涂层和基材的组合性能最好，值得进行全面的验证测试。

High Temperature Coated Low Inertia Turbocharger Turbine Wheels (TurboCoat) researches coatings for use onturbocharger components as an enabler technology for the use of new advanced base materials. The projectwill focus on the turbine wheel which today is manufactured from Inconel, a very expensive nickel alloy. Newbase materials are being developed by the turbocharger industry, for reduced cost and lower inertia, howeveras exhaust temperatures for petrol engines are increasing beyond 1000 Deg. C. these materials will requiresurface coatings to be durable in this extreme environment. This project will research potential new coatings,application techniques and surface treatments that will enable these new materials to withstand the harshenvironment of a turbocharger. Small scale sample tests will be run to establish which combinations of coatingsand base materials perform the best and are worthy of taking through to full validation testing.
