THERMAL SPRAY COATINGS

Thermal Spray Coatings are used to get superlative features onto new machine part surfaces. They are also commonly used in the industry to repair worn parts.
Some of the areas that we use Thermal Spray Coatings are Textile, Steel, Metal, Steel Cord, Petrochemistry, Food, Energy, Agriculture, Paper, Printing, Plastic, Defence, Automotive, Fertilizer and Machinery.

Thermal Spray Coatings add important features to surfaces.

 

. Wear resistance ( abrasion, adhesion, erosion)
. Corrosion resistance
. Thermal barier and oxidation resistance
. Thermal shock resistance
. Electrical insulation or conductance
. Abradability
. Special surface textures ( roughness, porosity, lubrication )
. Restoration of undersized dimensions

ELKAP has been maintaining thermal spray activities by following new technologies since 2000. And also supports these activities by means of its own research and development works. Main consideration of these works is to make qualified coating by using the most suitable method and material.

 

. Decision making for the most suitable method and material for problems or expected features
. Faultless application
. After coating controls ( thickness, roughness, porosity )
. Finishing operations ( turning, grinding, polishing )
