Abstract:
A camouflage coating system for application to the surfaces of jet engine components in order to reduce their level of emitted energy there by rendering them undetectable by infrared detection systems. The camouflage coating comprises a multilayer system having a first diffusion barrier of nickel aluminide applied to the substrate surface. A second silver reflective layer superimposed on the diffusion barrier layer and a glass-ceramic protective overlay superimposed on the silver reflective layer.
