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.
