But ceramic based materials are sometimes a better choice depending on the industry in which the thermal spray coating is needed.
Ceramic thermal spray coating.
Thermal spraying is a group of coating processes in which metallic and non metallic materials are deposited in a molten or semi molten condition to form a coating.
Ceramics applied by thermal spray are used for dielectric strength.
Applied using a plasma coating process falmer can achieve strong even oxide layers as thin as 003 to 050.
Very dense to porous depending on application requirements.
Coatings typically have a 150 microinch ra as sprayed finish.
These materials start out as a powder and are accelerated to a high velocity by rapid heating.
What is thermal spray.
Typical thickness of 0 003 to 0 030 hard ceramic coating materials.
We utilize the plasma spray process with our ceramic thermal spray coatings to create intensely strong mechanical bonds at the atomic level.
Ceramic is one of the most common and versatile types of coatings that we apply at a a.
Through our plasma spray process we can feed various compositions of ceramic materials to create high quality coatings that enhance the performance of the underlying surface.
Ceramic thermal spray coatings thermal spray technologies have propelled us past the time of mixing ceramics into resins or paint to add the benefits of ceramics to a surface coating.
