BRUNSBOND® Pad is a low modulus sintered fiber metal material developed for attaching high temperature ceramic coatings to metal substrates. The fiber metal pad acts as a compliant strain absorbing interlayer to accomodate the differences in thermal expansivity and operating temperature between the ceramic and metal substrate. Ceramic coatings, 0.060 – 0.125 in. thick, remain intact on metal substrates through severe multiple cycle thermal excursions. The fiber metal pad is comparable in insulating value to the ceramic coating. Applications include ceramic thermal barrier coatings for high temperature gas turbine engine seals and combustors, MHD electrodes, and internal combustion engine insulators.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
