A temperature indicating paint

摘要

An irreversible temperature indicating paint comprises 29wt% to 37wt% cobalt zinc silicon blue phenacite and a frit, 35wt% to 45wt% acrylic resin and 20wt% to 30wt% silicone resin excluding solvent. The solvent comprises a mixture of 80% 1-methoxy-2-propanol and 20% dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether. A particular irreversible temperature indicating paint comprises 34.9wt% cobalt zinc silicon blue phenacite and a frit, 42.5wt% acrylic resin and 22.6wt% silicone resin excluding solvent. The irreversible temperature indicating paint is used to determine the temperatures to which various parts of turbine blades, turbine vanes or other components are subjected in operation of a gas turbine engine.
