1 Advanced Materials Thermal and Environmental Barrier Coatings Solid Oxide Fuel Cells Custom Compositions

2 Advanced Materials With over 50 years of advanced ceramic expertise, Skyworks Solutions, through its Trans-Tech advanced materials product line, is the industry leader in technical ceramic materials. With our in-house manufacturing capability, we can deliver materials that range from custom particle size distributions for thermal barrier coatings and fuel cells, to machined precision components. Because we are an independent material supplier, our customers can rest assured that their proprietary material compositions will be kept confidential. Thermal and Environmental Barrier Coatings (TBCs and EBCs) Our ingots continue to be the industry standard for EB-PVD. Because of our material purity and uniform density, we are able to achieve a controlled meltpool with minimal eruptions and spits. Ingots for EB-PVD PWA (approved supplier) GE A50TF299 (approved supplier) Custom compositions, including the challenging pyrochlore forming rare earth zirconates and hafnates Thermal Spray Powders PWA 1375 (conforms) GE A50TF278 (conforms) Custom Compositions, including spray dry and sinter manufacturing processes which produces structurally stable spherical particles with excellent flow properties and high chemical purity Fuel In Electron Electrical Current Generated O2 Air In Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) With cost levels set for the commercialization of solid oxide fuel cells, you can turn to the Trans-Tech Advanced Materials product line for a low-cost, solid-state reaction manufacturing process to help achieve your goals. We offer the complete ceramic oxide solution: H2O Cathode: Conductive perovskites, including alkalineearth doped lanthanide manganites, cobaltite, nickelates and ferrites as well as solid solutions of the above compositions Excess Fuel and Water CerMet Anode Electrolyte Ceramic Cathode Unused Gases Electrolyte: Stabilized zirconia (YSZ), as well as lanthanide or yttria doped ceria Anode Powder: Homogeneous blend of nickel oxide and YSZ Interconnects: Lanthanide chromites and specialty ceramic formulations

3 Custom Compositions Need a custom composition? We have a team of experienced material scientists with expertise in synthesis and analysis of ceramic oxides. When combined with our in-house analytical capabilities, the Trans-Tech Advanced Materials product line is the obvious choice for all your custom composition needs. In addition, our diverse inventory of raw materials and access to a variety of suppliers allows us to secure laboratory batches from one to 100 kilograms in just a few weeks. Our Capabilities In-house Analysis Scanning electron microscope (SEM) with (EDAX) energy dispersive X-ray capability X-Ray diffraction (XRD) X-Ray fluorescence (XRF) Particle size distribution using laser light scattering Surface area analysis using BET method High temperature electrical conductivity (up to 1000 C) Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) Dilatometer for thermal expansion coefficient determination Optical microscopy Production Our high volume, solid state reaction manufacturing process allows us to provide low cost materials and large homogeneous batch sizes. Typical powders range in particle sizes (D 50 ) below two microns and have surface areas up to eight m2/g. Standard forming methods can also be used to produce a variety of custom component shapes. Homogeneous lot sizes up to 3600 kgs Production capacity in excess of 500,000 kgs per year Urethane lined vibratory energy mills with ultra low wear media provide tight particle size distributions while minimizing media contamination Batch AND continuous kilns up to 1700 C in a variety of atmospheres
