Sermalon® Coating for Turbomachinery
SermaLon® Coating for Turbomachinery
The patented three-part SermaLon® • Excellent bond strength coating system was developed • Continuous protection against primarily to provide anti-fouling relative humidity to 100 and corrosion protection to driven percent, and with continuous compressor components and salt/mist in air industrial gas turbine components • Excellent coating ductility exposed to wet chloride attack, as • No hydrogen embrittlement well as steam turbine components. problems • High resistance to corrosion The SermaLon coating system fatigue consists of: • Excellent resistance to hydrocarbon fouling • An aluminum-filled chromate/ phosphate bond coat Applications Centrifugal compressor rotor coated • An intermediate high- with SermaLon SermaLon coating is designed to be temperature polymeric used on ferrous substrates such as: inhibitive coating • Centrifugal compressors exposed • Steam turbine components • A PTFE-impregnated topcoat to sour gas, wet chlorides, or exposed to corrosive steam that provides a barrier excessive fouling, especially by • IGVs of industrial gas turbines against corrosion and excellent ethylene and other hydrocarbons resistance to fouling Physical Properties The coating system provides excellent protection to carbon and Thickness 0.004 to 0.006 inches (100 to 150 µm) stainless steel substrates when Maximum Continuous 500°F (260°C) exposed to hydrocarbons, corrosive Operating Temperature steam conditions, sour gas or low pH wet chloride environments. Peak Operating Temperature/Time 600°F (315°C)/1 hour Advantages pH Operating Range 3 to 9
The benefits of using SermaLon Performance Data (2 mil (50 µm) coating on 1010 steel) include: Test Results • Smooth surface finish and PTFE- Salt Spray (ASTM B117) > 3000 hours with no red rust impregnated topcoat contribute to On 410 stainless steel performance recovery and Adhesion (ASTM D3359) 5B, no pickoff, excellent reduced fouling rate • Superior resistance to acid rain, 100% Humidity (ASTM D2247) 3000 hours–no effect
