PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Thermal spraying techniques are coating processes in which melted
(or heated) materials are sprayed onto a surface.The "feedstock" (coating precursor) is heated by electrical (plasma
or arc) or chemical means (combustion flame).Thermal spraying can
provide thick coatings (approx. thickness range is 20 micrometers
to several mm, depending on the process and feedstock), over a
large area at high deposition rate as compared to other coating processes such aselectroplating, physical and chemical vapor
deposition. 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 semimolten state
and accelerated towards substrates in the form of micrometer-size
particles.
Combustion or electrical arc discharge is usually used as the
source of energy for thermal spraying. Resulting coatings are made
by the accumulation of numerous sprayed particles. The surface may
not heat up significantly, allowing the coating of flammable
substances.
Coating quality is usually assessed by measuring its porosity,
oxide content, macro and micro-hardness, bond strength andsurface
roughness. Generally, the coating quality increases with increasing
particle velocities.
Bond coats applied using electric arc wire spray are very clean and
more easily machined than their powder-sprayed counterparts. Wires
are popular for machine element repair, most commonly on carbon
steel, low-alloy steel, and stainless-steel substrates.
