Thermal Spraying

Thermal Spraying can produce high performance surfaces with a mechanical bond. There is absolutely no risk of distortion or metallurgical changes to the component.

HP HVOF

The High Pressure High Velocity Oxy-Fuel process sprays the molten droplets of coating material at extremely high velocities, resulting in surfaces of the highest quality and performance.

HP HVOF coatings are very dense, very well bonded, and free of the oxides and tensile stresses typically found in coatings provided by other thermal spray processes. Consequently, they perform better in service.

HP HVOF wear resistant surfaces typically provide more than 4 times the wear resistance of chrome plating, through-hardening and other hard facing techniques. They are being used around the world as more environmentally friendly and superior replacements for chrome.

Surfaces combining resistance to corrosion and wear are also applied by HP HVOF.

Typical HP HVOF materials include Tungsten Carbide, Chrome Carbide, Nickel alloys such as Inconel, Cobalt alloys such as Stellite, and various carbon and stainless steels.

HP Plasma Thermal Spray

Plasma thermal spray is used where higher melting point materials such as ceramics need to be deposited. Applications include high temperature thermal barrier coatings and wear resistant coatings where thermal and electrical resistance are also desired.

Typical Plasma applied materials include Chrome Oxide, Zirconia, Aluminium Oxide and various ceramic blends.

Other Thermal Spraying Systems

For economical dimensional restoration, Arc Spray and Combustion metal spraying systems are used. Typical materials include stainless and carbon steels, nickel alloys, bronzes, aluminium, copper etc.
