- Classification by application/purpose
- corrosion-protection spraying, wear-control spraying, thermal barrier spraying, etc.
- Classification by spray material
- Metal spraying, cermet spraying, ceramic spraying, plastic spraying, etc
Characteristics of Thermal Spray
- Provides a wide choice of base metals
- Metals, non-metals, alloy steel, plastics, wood, paper, etc
- Provides a wide choice of spray materials
- Metals, alloy metal, ceramics, plastics, etc. (all materials that can be made into wires and powders)
- Provides fast coating formation
- Flame spraying(15kg/h), arc spraying(6~20kg/h)
- No size limits
- Whether automatic or manual process, no size limits.
- No temporature limits for base metals
- Thermal spraying can be even applied on the site.
- Environment friendly
- Surface coating techniques with low levels of pollution.
