Wear is defined as the unwanted removal of material from a surface. The wear process is resulted from a complex set of system and process factors. The factors include material history (alloy composition, processing, surface hardness, grain size), the type of wear, and the type of environment (temperature, gas). Each type of wear has the corresponding mechanisms.
Applying coatings using thermal spray is an mature industrial method for resurfacing metal parts. The thermal spray process is characterized by simultaneously melting and spraying the feeding materials, which are usually metal or ceramics, onto parts. The molten material is accelerated and adhere to surface to form a coating. The bonding mechanisms include by primarily mechanical and metallurgical interaction. Thermal spraying can be used to apply coatings satisfy a number of requirements, such as repair with worn parts, dimension restoration, elongate operation lifetime of components by optimizing the surface properties.
The advantages of thermal spraying include wide range of coating material we can choose, process is portable, coating area isn't limited, and the process is more efficient.
Plus Metal Tech (PMT) provides services of protective and functional coatings, such as wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, erosion-resistant, conductive and insulative coatings. Our thermal coating service is fully customized. Process choices depend on customer’s demands and the chosen materials.
