Metallizing

Electric Arc:

This process also uses materials in wire form, but in this case the heat source is the arcing of two electrified wires. The material is melted and propelled onto the part at a greater velocity than seen in the metallizing process. Higher temperatures allow for an increased source of base materials, faster rates of deposition, and improved bond and coating density.

Thermal Spray:

Like metallizing, our thermal spray is based on an oxygen-acetylene heat source. Unlike metallizing, however, the material begins in powder form. This process provides a larger selection of base materials and better bonding and density.

Plasma Spray:

In this process we use various gases that are ignited by an electric arc. Temperatures can rise up to 30,000° F while the part temperature remains at less than 200°F. Particle velocity is greater than in the other four systems. One of the benefits of using this system is the high heat, which can process materials with high melting points (including ceramics).

HVOF (High Velocity Oxygen Fuel):

In this process particles actually travel faster than the speed of sound, generating the best bond strengths, density and hardness of all our processes. HVOF does not reach temperatures that are attainable with Plasma processes so materials such as ceramics cannot be processed with this technique at this time.
