The present disclosure relates to an optical laminate or a reddening-resistant layer. The present disclosure can provide an optical laminate that does not cause a so-called reddening phenomenon even when driven or maintained under extremely harsh conditions (e.g., very high temperature conditions), or a reddening-resistant layer applied thereto.

A metallic thermal barrier coating for a component includes an insulating layer having a plurality of metallic microspheres applied to a substrate. A second metallic non-permeable layer is bonded to the insulating layer such that the sealing layer seals against the insulating layer. A method for applying a thermal barrier coating to a component includes placing an insulating layer having a plurality of microspheres to a surface of the substrate of the component. A heat treatment is applied to the insulating layer. A second non-permeable layer is bonded to and seals against the insulating layer.

The teachings herein relate to sound damping materials and particularly to sound damping materials for castings. The sound damping material includes a surface layer including an elastomer and a filler. Preferably the filler includes glass or ceramic beads. The surface layer preferably has a textured surface for contacting with the casting. Preferably the filler has a diameter that provides or contributes to the textured surface. For example, a portion of the filler may have a diameter that is greater than the average thickness of the surface layer. The sound damping material includes one or more metallic layers, preferably for applying a force to a surface of the casting. The sound damping material preferably includes two metallic layers that are separated by a core polymeric layer.
