When are thermal coatings being used?
Reason to use one of the thermal coating can be as follows
For new designed parts, sprayed coatings offer a rewarding combination of features:
- To create high performance parts that would be difficult or costly to produce by other means
- To value engineer new or existing parts by spraying premium material coatings over lightweight or low cost substrates
- To design composite material parts that use the best qualities of the sprayed coating and the structure member
- To provide a surface property not otherwise available
For repair and rebuild worn machine parts, sprayed coatings save time and money, while increasing service life:
- Parts can be rebuilt faster and at less cost with sprayed coatings than by using welding, plating or sleeving
- When new parts have to be ordered, spray repair can save days of downtime; yet the cost can run as low as 10% of replacement cost
- Because a premium material can be used as the build-up coating, repaired parts will outwear new ones
- Parts can be so easily rebuilt so that spare parts inventories can be greatly reduced
for salvage of mis-machined parts or undersized castings:
- A coating material equivalent to the original material can be chosen to restore dimension
- It results in much lower cost than completely refabricating a new part.
