For over
35 years Plasma Coatings Limited (PCL) has provided a specialist
service to industry using thermal spraying technology to apply
metal, ceramic and composite coatings to a wide range of components.
During this time has steadily built a reputation for technological
innovation and quality service.
As thermal spraying contractors
to the Aerospace and Biomedical industries, we are approved to
ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 in addition to holding specific approvals
from a range of companies that include:
- Rolls Royce plc
- Lucas Aerospace plc
- A.E.TC. (Turbine Components)
- Goodrich Aerospace (U.S.A.)
- Aermacchi (Italy)
- Westland Helicopters
Additionally, to satisfy ever increasing stringent Aerospace
prime requirements, Nadcap accreditation has been achieved for
the various coating process systems operated by the company.
Plasma Coatings
Limited can produce functionally effective surfaces that can
withstand a wide range of corrosive and tribological environments.
Coatings chosen from an extensive range of metallic, ceramic
and composite materials are applied by the appropriate thermal
spraying process chosen from one of the following:
- Plasma
- High Velocity Oxy-Fuel
- Flame spray Wire
- Flame Spray Powder
Robotic controlled spraying facilities allow us to process
components up to 1.5 metres in diameter.
Our laboratory facilities enable coatings to be examinedby
micro evaluation and hardness testing to monitor and control
key coating characteristics. The laboratory contributes to the
development of new coatings and new approvals to further enhance
the service provided to our customers.
Typical Applications Include
The company offers a complete service for the repair of existing
components. Alternatively complete manufacture of coated parts
from new. A typical repair scheme may include one or more of
the following; removal of any existing coatings, pre-machining,
coating application and, where applicable, surface finishing.
In cases where worn or mis-machined components did not benefit
from coatings technology, real advantages in cost of replacement
and enhanced performance are available.
