The Thermal Spray Process involves the melting of feedstock material in solid or powder form by means of an electric or gas heat source. The molten particles are propelled by compressed air on a prepared surface. The impact of the droplets create an atomic bond and flattens as they cool - FORMING A NEW SURFACE, WITHOUT DISTORTING THE BASE METAL OF THE ORIGINAL SURFACE.
This process of surface restructuring and modification finds use in the restoration and wear protection of machine parts against friction, erosion, corrosion, heat and abrasion. It is a widely accepted method in the maintenance of a wide range of industries. It has also become part of the development of original equipment manufacturing process producing wear protected parts out of common and easy to produce base metals. The thermal spraying process has also become a factor in the design of important components of machineries.
