Thermal Spray in the Fabrication Process “Thermal Spray in the Fabrication Process” addresses standard Thermal Spray Processes now available to the fabricator and a basic procedure for starting a thermal spray operation. Using a well-structured analysis, a fabricator should be able to prove the benefits of introducing thermal spray into their operations and be confident […]

Thermal Spray, Putting a Face on 3D Printing Consider thermal spray as a friend of 3D manufacturing. 3D printing operations might consider adding thermal spray to their 3D printing capabilities. Thermal spray job shops might contact 3D operations and offer to produce a trial coating at a reduced, introductory price. You might find many new […]

A Look At Hard Chrome Replacement There is a global interest in seeking a replacement to Hard Chrome Plating. Tungsten carbide (WC), cobalt (Co) and WC-Co-Cr coatings, thermally sprayed by the HVOF (high velocity oxy-fuel) process, have emerged as the likely replacements. Thermal Spray Processes A Look At Hard Chrome Replacement by By Terry Khaled, […]

Hard Chrome Alternative for Overhaul Operations Traditionally, chrome plating has been a process often contracted to specialty shops using an electroplating process carried out under strict OSHA controls. Today, many overhaul shops have been able to bring chrome equivalent repair work in house using High Velocity Oxy/Fuel (HVOF) coating technology. This article covers the benefits […]
