Thermal Barrier Coating -
Where Heat Stops and Reliability Begins
Efficient Insulation. Engineered Peace of Mind.
Plasma Spray Processors provides Thermal Barrier Coating (TBC) services in India using Yttria-Stabilised Zirconia (YSZ) applied via atmospheric Plasma Spray. TBC systems insulate metallic substrates from temperatures exceeding 1,000°C, significantly extending the service life of gas turbine blades, combustion liners, boiler tubes, and piston crowns. With ISO-certified application processes and 40 years of thermal spray expertise, we serve aerospace OEMs, power utilities, and industrial clients across India. As specialists in thermal spray coating and surface engineering, we deliver thermal barrier coating India-wide from ISO-certified facilities trusted across aerospace, power, and process industries.

Think of TBC as your part’s very own “thermal armour” - a multilayered ceramic shield that keeps critical engine, turbine, or industrial surfaces running cool, even when things outside are seriously hot.
- A metallic coating provides the bonding layer that holds the thermal barrier system together.
- Ceramic topcoat keeps the heat at bay, usually Yttria-stabilised Zirconia.
- Thermally grown oxide (TGO) layer for durability in harsh environments.
End result? Less heat where it does not belong, more life from every component.
Why Choose TBC from Plasma Spray Processors?
Up to 250°C lower metal temperatures, fewer surprises from sudden heat spikes.
Exceptional Thermal Insulation
Up to 250°C lower metal temperatures, fewer surprises from sudden heat spikes.
Handles the Heat
Ceramics tested for life at up to 1200°C, well above what most equipment ever sees.
Defends Against Oxidation & Corrosion
Specialized bond coats for long-term chemical and atmospheric resistance.
Lasts Longer (So You Can, Too)
Resists spalling, shock, and cycling to deliver long-term wear resistance under continuous thermal loading.
Thermal Barrier Coating Materials:
Every thermal spray coating material we apply, from Yttria-Stabilised Zirconia to Mullite and Alumina blends, is matched to your component's exact thermal, mechanical, and service-life requirements.
| Sr No. | Material | What It Offers | Ideal Applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) | Low thermal conductivity, high thermal shock resistance, stable up to ~1200°C | Gas turbines, diesel engines, aerospace components |
| 2 | Mullite | Low density, good mechanical strength, corrosion resistant, stable below 800°C | Diesel engines, lower temperature thermal barriers |
| 3 | Alumina (α-Al2O3) | High hardness, chemical inertness, high thermal conductivity | Added to YSZ coatings for improved oxidation resistance |
| 4 | Ceria (CeO2) + YSZ Blend | Improved thermal shock resistance and insulation | Enhanced YSZ coatings for thermal cycling |
