Our coatings have proven performance in power generation, oil refining and drilling, steelworks, aerospace, automotive, pulp & paper, printing, packaging, and many other industries. The process works roughly as follows.

1. Start with the original part - anything from tiny valves to large galvanizing rolls. If it doesn't fit in our spray booth (32'L x 12'W x 10'H), we can arrange work onsite.
2. Choose the right coating for your application - tungsten carbide for wear, Hasteloy for corrosion, etc. We spray a wide range of metallic and composite materials onto any metallic substrate, and onto certain ceramic and plastic parts as well.
3. Remove the old coating and prepare the surface for spraying. We use grit blasting to make sure the coating adheres to the surface.
4. Spray on the new coating. We use the patented AcuKote HVAF process that produces coatings with lower oxygen content, higher density, and greater strength than conventional thermal spray. (Learn more.)
5. Finish the surface to the desired roughness. For example, the roughness of a tungsten carbide coating is a hundred microinches as sprayed - as if it were polished with an 80-grit abrasive. However, this coating can be finished to an optical mirror roughness of half a microinch.

With twenty years of experience in thermal spray, we can either process your specific coating, or help you choose the right coating for your application, or at least refer you to the appropriate vendor and surface treatment process. Give us a try - call (707) 745-3862 for a free estimate!
