Thermal spraying technology
Thermal spraying technology produces a functional coating by spraying onto a workpiece fine particle of metal, ceramic, or other material melted at high temperatures.
Thermal spray materials and methods can be combined to produce coatings with a wide variety of properties.
Atmospheric Plasma Spraying (APS)APS is plasma spraying performed in atmosphere using a high-temperature plasma jet heated to over 10,000°C to produce coatings.
