Abstract
A component includes a substrate and a coating system. The coating system includes a base layer that includes at least one of a (M1)AX phase and a (M2)CrX composition. The coating system also includes a top layer that includes a black pigment embedded in a matrix. The matrix is one of a metal-based matrix and a ceramic-based matrix.
Claims20
A component comprising:
- a substrate;
- and
- a coating system comprising:
- a base layer comprising at least one of a (M1)AX phase and a (M2)CrX composition;
- and
- a top layer comprising a black pigment embedded in a matrix, wherein said matrix is at least one of a metal-based matrix and a ceramic-based matrix.
3 more elements
A solar power system comprising:
- a central solar receiver comprising at least one heat exchanger component;
- and
- at least one heliostat configured to reflect solar energy toward said central solar receiver, wherein said at least one heat exchanger component comprises:
- a substrate;
- and
- a coating system comprising:
- a base layer comprising at least one of a (M1)AX phase and a (M2)CrX composition;
- and
- a top layer having a coefficient of absorption of solar radiation of at least 90 percent.
6 more elements
A method of making a component, said method comprising:
- applying a base layer onto an outer surface of a substrate of the component, wherein the base layer includes at least one of a (M1)AX phase and a (M2)CrX composition;
- and
- applying a top layer onto an outer surface of the base layer, wherein the top layer includes a black pigment embedded in a matrix, wherein the matrix is at least one of a metal-based matrix and a ceramic-based matrix.
