What is Thermal Spraying? – Advanced Materials 2019

Thermal spraying is a technology which improves or restores the surface of a solid material. The process can be used to apply coatings to a wide range of materials and components, to provide resistance to Wear, erosion, cavitation, corrosion, abrasion or heat. Thermal spraying is also used to provide electrical conductivity or insulation, lubricity, high or low friction, sacrificial wear, chemical resistance, and many other desirable surface properties. Thermal spraying is widely adopted across many industries as a preferred method. It has a huge scope to extend the life of new components or through the use of tried and tested techniques, to repair and re-engineer worn or damaged components.

The Basics of Thermal Spraying

All methods of thermal spraying involve the projection of small softened particles onto a cleaned and prepared surface where they adhere to form a continuous coating. Combined thermal and kinetic energy causes the particles to flatten or ’splat’ onto the surface, and onto each other, to produce a cohesive coating of successive layers.

Metallurgically cold process.

Virtually no heat input to the substrate

Primarily a mechanical bonding process.

Can spray many materials: Steels, stainless steels, nickel alloys, copper, bronzes, molybdenum, ceramics, tungsten carbides etc.

Can be applied at various thicknesses, typically 100-750 microns but can be more. A line of sight process.

Profiles made of composite – Glassfibre-reinforced plastics (GRP) – today provide an alternative to conventional structural materials such as concrete, steel, aluminum, and wood.

Used for structural purposes, the composite has the advantage of combining a number of properties not usually found together in a single material.

In particular, it combines high strength and low weight, while at the same time it is non-corrosive and has thermal and electrical insulation properties. It can also be machined like wood using diamond-tool equipment.

Using composites rather than conventional materials such as steel usually provides major weight savings. This is partly due to the specific properties and low weight of the individual components, and partly because it is possible to manufacture composites for very particular purposes.

For example, a composite component can be specified and designed for a particular type of load. It also offers a number of advantages over conventional materials, such as resistance to chemicals and thermal and electrical insulation properties.
