Thermal spray what's it

Sponsored Links

This site is devoted to the understanding of thermal spray coatings technology. We will be addressing several topics in this site that we presume will be useful both to those intending to learn a little bit more about the thermal spray process prior to using it in an application as well as to those professionals in other engineering fields that might be able to solve future application problems using thermal spray technology. It might be of value to refer to the archives for any specific topic of interest. For safety aspects of the process, you may want to visit my page http://safetyfirstatwork.blogspot.com Being essentially a surface modification process, thermal spray coatings consist of applying a variety of coating materials by elevating the thermal energy of the coating materials and sometimes the kinetic energy of the coating materials and bonding them on to the substrate material. Unlike some other methods of coatings deposition, thermal spray techniques allow a wide variety of coating such as metallics, intermetallics, ceramics and cermets to be deposited on to a wide variety of substrate materials such as metals and non-metals.
In our next topic of discussion, we will discuss plasma sprayed coating process as the one method of imparting energy to enable the bonding of coating material to the substrate material.
