THERMAL SPRAY COATING
Thermal spraying techniques are coating processes in which melted (or heated) materials are sprayed onto a surface.
Coating materials available for thermal spraying include metals, alloys, ceramics, plastics and composites.
They are fed in powder or wire form, heated to a molten or semi-molten state and accelerated towards substrates in the form of micrometer-size particles.
Advantages
- Wear protection for parts against abrasion, wear, erosion, cavitations
- Reducing or eliminating the degradation caused by corrosion
- Reconditioning and repairing critical components by bringing them back to their original size
- It is a low temperature process
