Thermal Spray Knowledge & Education
Although thermal spray may not be a familiar process, we benefit from this technology on a regular basis. Examples of thermal spray products that we benefit from in our everyday lives are the non-slip surface in bathtubs and the Teflon coating in our cookware. Thermal spray is also associated with transportation, the energy industry and the art and architecture fields. Thermal spray is a “friend” that we all benefit from, even though we may not be familiar with the technology.
