Five thermal spray coating options that you should know about
Thermal spray coatings are used in many different industries. The spray coatings are made of wire and molten powder, which are applied using plasma or oxy fuel combustion. The fire powers the mixture in such a manner that it creates a firm coating once it has been sprayed onto metal.

Applications for thermal spray coatings include aerospace engineering and buildings, as well as other structures where metal needs to be protected from environmental conditions.
HVOF or High Velocity Oxy-Fuel Spraying
HVOF is a spray coating process which uses a torch to spread flame where the nozzle is pointed. The rapid acceleration that this creates then speeds up the particles in the mixture. As a result, coatings applied in such a manner are thin and evenly applied. Whilst the...
