Latest Patents

Sharobem holds a patent for "High-entropy oxides for thermal barrier coating (TBC) top coats." This invention involves a thermal barrier coating top coat that is a high entropy oxide (HEO) with a high configurational entropy. It contains at least five different oxide-forming metallic cations and is designed to maintain a single phase or single crystalline structure, such as tetragonal or cubic, over unexpectedly wide temperature ranges, ideally exceeding top coat operating temperatures of at least 2300° F. The TBC top coats exhibit low thermal conductivity, good sintering resistance, excellent phase stability, and good thermal cycling performance. The metallic cations used in this invention include transition metals and lanthanides, as well as alkaline-earth metals.
