This technology is an upgraded alternative to electroplating in the traditional sense, with comprehensive disciplines, extensive functions, renewable resources, diverse methods, environmentally friendly alternatives, and flexible implementation
It has been widely used in various fields of national economic construction, such as aerospace, national defense and military industry, medical equipment, transportation, communication intelligence, power energy, petrochemicals, metallurgy and mining, machinery manufacturing, light industry and textile, biotechnology, and plays a huge role
The application of thermal spraying technology is to conduct surface failure analysis on mechanical parts, components, etc. used under special environmental conditions (high temperature oxidation, high temperature thermal barrier, abrasion and wear corrosion, environmental corrosion, conductive insulation, etc.), study and select coating materials and preparation technology with corresponding functionality, control the preparation process, conduct coating testing, and obtain ideal functional coatings
With the continuous improvement and maturity of technology, plasma thermal spraying technology has developed from a simple repair technology for single components to an essential manufacturing technology in the preparation process of new components. It has evolved from a simple process method to a complete industrial technology with an independent system
Coating process
Surface failure analysis comes first. The service conditions decide the coating material, the spray process and the acceptance criteria. Plasma spraying is used where a dense ceramic or refractory metal layer is required; flame and arc processes cover other combinations.
Fields of use
Thermal spray coatings are used in aerospace, defense, medical equipment, transport, communications, power, petrochemicals, metallurgy and mining, machinery, textiles, biotechnology and other industrial sectors.
