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. Coating materials include metals, alloys, carbides, ceramics, plastics, cermets, composites and blended materials.
These coatings are used in a variety of applications, including:
- abradable and clearance control coatings
- atmospheric corrosion control
- high temperature oxidation and corrosion control
- electric resistance and conductivity
- net- and near-net shaped component manufacturing
- abrasive, anti-fretting, and erosion wear resistance
- thermal barrier coatings
