HVOF

HVOF flame spraying is a highly kinetic process used to apply carbide or metallic coatings. Our experts use it to create extremely impermeable surfaces.

PROPERTIES
Ø Adhesive Strength: > 80 MPa
Ø Porosity: 0.5% to 1%
Ø Coating thickness: 100 to 500 μm

ADVANTAGES
• Low thermal stress of the substrate material
• High resilience with linear loads
• Material-independent and partial coatings possible
• High density of sprayed layer
• Thin layers with high dimensional accuracy

Products ::

valve rods • valve balls • valve seats • gates • shaft sleeves • pistons/rods • pump impellers • guide rollers • extruder screws • machine shafts • guides • bearing seats • crushing jaws • fill table plates • etc.

Typical Applications ::

parts or components strained by abrasive, erosive or corrosive environments in a broad variety of applications; for example in valves, pumps, extruders, agricultural machines, mining, drilling and extracting technologies, and general mechanical engineering and machine construction.
