ceramic material 
Yttrium stabilized zirconia (YSZ):
Features: It has the advantages of low thermal conductivity, high melting point, good chemical stability, and high temperature resistance. It can maintain stability for a long time in high temperature environments and effectively block heat transfer, making it a typical material for thermal barrier coatings.
Application: Widely used on the surface of high-temperature components such as combustion chambers and turbine blades in aircraft engines. By forming a thermal insulation layer on the outer layer of these components, the substrate temperature is reduced, allowing the engine to operate efficiently and stably at higher temperatures, improving engine performance and service life.
Aluminum oxide (Al ₂ O3):
Features: High hardness, excellent wear resistance, good chemical stability and insulation, and can withstand certain high temperature environments.
Application: Commonly used in some parts of aircraft engines that require wear-resistant protection, such as certain mechanical transmission components, to prevent excessive wear between components due to friction; It can also be applied in specific areas that require electrical insulation to ensure the normal operation of circuits and related systems.
Metal and alloy materials
Nickel based alloys:
Features: Contains various elements such as nickel, chromium, molybdenum, etc., with excellent high-temperature strength, oxidation resistance, and thermal corrosion resistance. It can maintain good mechanical properties in high temperature environments and form a dense oxide film on the surface to resist further oxidation and corrosion.
Application: It is often used as a coating material in high-temperature components of aircraft engines, such as turbine discs and high-temperature combustion chambers, to provide reliable protection for these critical components and ensure their normal operation in extreme high temperatures and complex chemical environments.
Chromium (Cr):
Features: The chrome coating has good hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. It also has a certain decorative appearance and can form a passivation film on the metal surface to enhance corrosion resistance.
Application: Commonly used on the surface of some exposed metal components in aerospace equipment, such as parts of aircraft landing gear and some exterior structural components of aircraft. It not only enhances the wear resistance of components, but also plays a role in corrosion prevention and decoration.
Carbon based materials
Carbon/Carbon Composite Materials (C/C):
Characteristics: A composite material with carbon fiber as the reinforcement and carbon as the matrix, characterized by low density, good high-temperature strength, excellent thermal shock resistance, and good chemical stability, which can adapt to complex thermal environments in the aerospace field.
Application: It has important applications in the thermal protection system of spacecraft and certain high-temperature structural components of aircraft engines, such as the leading edge of spacecraft wings and the hot end components of engines, helping to resist high-temperature airflow erosion and thermal shock.
Graphene:
Characteristics: It has many advantages such as ultra-high strength, excellent electrical properties, good thermal conductivity, and excellent chemical stability. Its unique two-dimensional structure makes it exhibit unique performance in coating applications.
Application: It has potential applications in conductive coatings for aerospace electronic equipment and anti-corrosion coatings for aircraft, such as improving the conductivity of electronic circuits or enhancing the anti-corrosion effect of components.
Polymer materials
Polyimide (PI):
Characteristics: It has good high temperature resistance, mechanical properties, and chemical stability, can maintain stability over a wide temperature range, and has certain insulation and flexibility.
Application: Commonly used in the insulation layer of wires and cables in aerospace equipment, as well as in the coating of flexible components that require high temperature resistance, to ensure the safe and reliable operation of electrical systems and the normal use of components in high temperature environments.
Fluorocarbon resin:
Characteristics: Strong chemical stability, good weather resistance, able to resist the erosion of harsh environmental factors such as ultraviolet radiation and wind and rain, while having low surface energy and good self-cleaning properties.
Application: It can be used as a protective coating on the outer shell of spacecraft, the outer surface of aircraft, and other parts to protect the substrate material from damage from space and atmospheric environments, and to maintain a clean appearance.
These coating materials are often used individually or in combination according to the specific needs of different aerospace components to meet stringent performance requirements and ensure the safe and efficient operation of aerospace equipment.
