Thermal Spray Coatings

Solve Abrasion, High Temperature Oxidation, Chemical Corrosion & Friction Problems with Thermal Spray Coatings

To solve problems of abrasion, high temperature oxidation, chemical corrosion and friction, we apply a wide variety of fused alloy coatings, oxidation resistant metal and alloy coatings, ceramic coatings, self bonding alloy coatings and polymer coatings using powder flame spray, wire flame spray, high velocity oxy-fuel spray (HVOF), plasma spray and electric arc spray. Some of the thermal spray coating trade names include Metco ^®, Wallex ^®, Stellite ^® and Colmonoy ^®.

Thermal Spray Coating Types

Spray & Fused Alloy Coatings are generally nickel or cobalt based metallic alloy coatings that are sprayed onto a substrate and then heated upwards of 2100° F/1500° C until the coating becomes molten and fuses together creating an essentially pore free coating that is very hard and very wear resistant.

These powdered metal alloy coatings are often blended with tungsten carbide, chromium, boron and silicon to make them even harder.

Maximum operating temperatures for these types of coatings can reach 1550°F/840°C.

Oxidation Resistant Metal & Alloy Coatings are formulated from a wide variety of aluminum, copper, nickel, molybdenum, cobalt and chromium powders and blends of powders.

They can be used for various purposes ranging from the protection of gas turbine blades to something as mundane as repairing or rebuilding shafts of pumps.

They exhibit excellent wear resistance and corrosion resistance properties. Maximum operating temperatures can range up to 1850°F/1000°C.

Ceramic Coatings are formulated from a wide variety of aluminum oxide, chromium oxide, titanium oxide and zirconium oxide powders and blends of powders.

They can be used as thermal barrier coatings, di-electric coatings and wear resistant coatings such as those found on shafts in the bushing and packing areas.

They exhibit excellent wear resistance properties and are also very low friction coatings.

Maximum operating temperatures can range up to 3000°F/1647°C.

Self Bonding Alloy Coatings are formulated from many different materials with their main characteristic being that they do not require a bond coat to obtain good adhesion to the substrate.

Other than this characteristic, they are harder to generalize as far as their properties are concerned as they have a lot of the same characteristics as some of the coatings mentioned above.
