Thermal Spray Overview
What is Thermal Spray?
Thermal spray is a process in which material is heated to a
molten state and sprayed over the surface of another material to
create a coating.

Features of thermal spray
 Wide Materials Choice
Metals , Alloy blends, carbides, ceramics..
Uniform Coating Thickness - 0.02 to few mm
Selective coating capability by masking
In situ coating capability - paper /power
Coatings with high
performance: 60Rb-72Rc
No metallurgical change in Base material
Benefits of Thermal Spraying
Low Capital Investment - Compared to a plating and vacuum
installation.
Competitive Application Costs – Selective coating allows cost
control
When parts are large enough and the coating performance
requirement is high, thermal spraying
becomes very cost
competitive.
Environmental: Most importantly the effluent treatment plant
is not required. All required is a good dust
collector. |
