Thermal Flame Spray Coating Capabilities:

Processes	Plasma Flame Spray: The Plasma Flame Spray process utilizes an electric arc and a combination of gases to produce a very hot high speed heat source. Powder is injected into the heat source and deposited onto the substrate. Tungsten Carbide, Chrome Oxide, Aluminum Oxide, Molybdenum, Tungsten, Nickel, and hundreds of other powders can be sprayed utilizing the Plasma Flame Spray Process. Flame Spray: The Flame Spray Process utilizes a compressed air source, a fuel gas and oxidizing gas (Acetylene and Oxygen) to produce a heat source. A wire is pulled through a gun and the heat source and blown onto the substrate. Copper, Aluminum, Molybdenum, Stainless Steel and many other materials in wire form are available for the Flame Spray Process. Twin Wire Arc: The Twin Wire Arc Spray process utilizes a DC power supply, compressed air source and two wires pulled through a gun. The wires exit the gun and form an arc, the arc melts the wires and the compressed air source pushes the molten material onto the substrate. Many metals are available in wire form for use with the Twin Wire Arc Spray process. Thermo Spray: The Thermo Flame Spray process utilizes a fuel gas and oxidizing gas (Acetylene and Oxygen) to produce a heat source. Powder is injected into the heat source and blown onto the substrate. The process is used to spray many powder form materials.
