The thermal spray coating process can be used in a number of industries to reclaim or extend the life of a wide variety of parts.
Many companies find the wear resistance advantages of thermal coatings like stainless steel, aluminum, carbon steel, tungsten carbide and ceramic beneficial for protecting their products against abrasion, corrosion and erosion. The ability to rebuild parts in less time and at less cost than ordering a new part has proven even more valuable. This is particularly true in cases where replacement parts for older machinery are no longer available.
Thermal sprayed coatings can be used to repair bearing surfaces, seal areas, paper roll restoration, paper roll surface conditioning, food handling equipment as well as a wide variety of general repairs. This unique process typically will not alter or change the existing characteristics of a part which may occur with many welding processes due to the excessive heat.
