Thermal spray metallization

... Coatings sprayed by HVOF have superior characteristics in comparison with other thermal spray processes. In particular they show a high density, high bond strength, a great wear resistance (for carbides), ...

... and produces a full metallurgical bond. The spray and fuse process results in an absence of interconnected pores in the coating and very high bond strengths. The typical chemical composition of spray and fuse coatings ...

... Cold Spray is a high-rate coating process that utilizes kinetic rather than thermal energy to build-up layers of metallic materials. During the process, the powder feedstock remains well below its melting point inside ...

... High Velocity Air Fuel utilizes a lower temperature flame than HVOF, which is friendlier to the carbide and metallic powders we apply as coatings. Friendlier means less decarburization for carbides (harder, more ductile coatings), less ...

... Air Plasma Spray (APS) is the most flexible of all of the thermal spray processes as it has enough energy to melt or plasticize any material from polymers to ceramics. As feedstock it uses powder that ...

... reaction between oxygen and a fuel of combustion to produce a heat source. This heat source creates a gas stream with a temperature in excess of 3,000°C with correctly balanced conditions between oxygen and acetylene. Among others, ...
