Abstract

A structural component of metal is protected against titanium fires that can be caused by flying and burning titanium droplets, e.g. in a propulsion unit. The protection against titanium fires of metal structural components is provided by a surface coating made of ceramic fibers embedded in a matrix material of a high temperature lacquer having dispersed therein aluminum powder as a filler material. The high temperature resistant lacquer is formed of silicates as a vehicle in which the aluminum powder is dispersed.
