Aerospace thermal spray protects and restores aircraft components exposed to heat, wear, particle erosion and corrosion. Depending on the application, a spray coating can provide thermal protection, improve wear resistance or rebuild a worn surface for continued service in production and overhaul.
Gas turbine coatings and thermal spray technologies are used across power generation to protect components exposed to heat, oxidation, hot corrosion, particle erosion and mechanical wear. By matching the coating system to the operating environment, turbine and plant operators can extend component life between maintenance events and help preserve operating efficiency.
Oil and gas assets operate in environments where salt water, hydrogen sulfide, entrained sand, pressure and temperature can accelerate corrosion, erosion and wear. Thermal spray coatings help protect critical surfaces, restore functional areas and support longer service intervals across production, transport and processing equipment.
Thermal spray is used in the automotive industry to engineer functional surfaces where friction, wear, corrosion and component mass influence performance and service life. Applications range from engine surfaces and piston rings to turbocharger parts, transmission components, suspension hardware and production tooling.
Thermal spray is used in medical manufacturing to create functional surfaces on implants and selected medical devices. Applications include porous titanium on orthopedic and dental implants, hydroxyapatite coating systems, and wear-resistant or insulating layers on instruments where the coating is part of a validated manufacturing process.
