Plasma spray coatings | abrasion resistant coatings | aerospace coatings

General Coating Characteristics

high bond strength (55 Mpa / 8000 p.s.i. or higher).
high density, low porosity
able to be ground or lapped to a fine finish(0.1-0.2 microns)

Due to the range of materials that can be sprayed it is difficult to generalise on coating characteristics, but with the correct choice of material plasma coatings can:-

perform better than chrome plating
be more cost effective than solid sintered carbide
resist wear better than the same material in cast or wrought form

Available Coatings

Tungsten Carbide / Cobalt (83/17)

Chrome Oxide

Yttria stabilised Zirconia

Nickel/Chromium (80/20) + 6% Aluminium

Cobalt / Chromium / Nickel / Tungsten

Aluminium / Polyester

This table gives typical coating properties and applications for a variety of materials. It is by no means an exhaustive list, rather, it is a guide to the diversity of coatings that can be offered.
