Using thermal spraying, the desired coating materials are fused or melted with different technologies in a burner and deposited onto the surface of the component. To ensure grouting of the melted particles on the surface it is mostly previously scored by radiation. This creates a solid adhesive layer.

Layer thickness > 2mm are possible, depending on the material. Functional areas can be coated partially through specific component coverage. The adhesion at the edges is restricted. Therefore edges should be rounded with a radius >0.7mm.

The surface can be reworked accurate to measurement through grinding, turning, lapping, polishing, etc. depending to the sprayed material. The coating material can be a single element, an alloy or a composite material. While coating any incorrect thermal stress will be prevented, this avoids structural changes of the base material.

The selection of products and layers are virtually unlimited. The coatings are usually made of metals, ceramics, carbides or individually combined materials.

The use of thermal sprayed coatings is an advanced and cost-effective method to provide a surface with desired properties. This process allows to increase efficiency in the respective application. You can often save costs at the basic material with customized surfaces.
