Thermal spray is a process that involves the use of a spray torch to
heat powder or wire to molten or semi-molten state and with the use of
an atomizing gas, propel the material to a substrate to form a coating.
Major advantages of thermal
spraying concerns the possibility to prevent excessive heating of the
substrate material during the coating process. This enables the process
to be suitable for a wide range of applications.
Five major applications
include:
Thermal Barrier Coatings
Wear-control Coatings
Chemical Resistance Coatings
Corrosion Protection Coatings
Abradable Coatings
Electrical Insulation Coatings
Anti-Skid Coatings
Hardfacing Coatings
Comprehensive choice of coating materials
include:
Metals, Alloys, Carbides, Ceramics, Cermets,
Polymers, etc.
