Worried About Parts Quality? Rely On Thermal Spray Coatings Then!
Parts quality should never be compromised. Whether we’re talking about the parts that belong to the precision machinery used by your company or the parts that you are producing, quality must be kept at an all-time high. But machinery operates at such a fast pace these days that parts heat up and can break down or abrade faster than ever. To avoid the loss of money, the loss of valuable time, and an overworked maintenance staff, those parts must be protected.
Enhancements for Engineering and Maintenance
Thanks to the pioneers of spray coating and parts protection, it is easier than ever to protect the quality of your engineering and maintenance parts. Design engineers and specialists now work hand-in-hand with the companies that protect their parts to discover new, exciting ways of extending the life of their equipment. The reliability of entire operations depends on improvement in this field. All types of protective coatings are now offered for industrial enhancement. Thermal spraying your parts helps to improve the performance of them. These protective coatings can consist of the following:
- Tungsten carbide
- Flame spray
- Ceramic
Prevent Product Defects with Enhancement Coatings
It simply will not do to create a finished part that has imperfections or marks due to the manufacturing process. What happens is that when products come in to direct contact with your parts, irregularities and surface defects in the equipment can produce such imperfections. But by using thermal sprayed enhancement coatings, these problems can be rectified. The strictest processing requirements can be provided by the right thermal spray company. They will provide post treatment and pre-treatment of thermal sprayed enhancement coatings, thereby adding critical surface finishes and dimensional tolerances to your product.
Thermal Spray Has Definite Advantages
The advantages to using heart coatings for thermal spray, enhancement coatings for thermal spray, or performance coatings for thermal spray are many. Some of these advantages include the following:
- Processing speed
- Thickness range
- Versatility
- Low heat input
- Reduced cost
OE Specification
Hard coatings for thermal spray or enhancement coatings may be requested by the end user or specified by an OE equipment designer – depending on the application. This may simply be for the sole purpose of enhancing equipment performance. Your chosen thermal spray company should be able to meet your proprietary processing needs with customized material selections and provide extensive thermal spray capabilities. The many commercially available materials should be specified for use in improving your equipment’s performance. That equipment is, after all, what is responsible for the production of your product. And your product is your bottom line.
Thermal Sprayed Hard Coatings
Is your company interested in reducing the cost of fabricated, forged, or cast parts? Who wouldn’t be? Hard coatings for thermal spray does just that. Fabricated, forged, and cast parts will work longer when the wearing surface is thermal sprayed with a less expensive base material being used in the thermal sprayed hard coating.
When the quality of your parts is compromised, so is your company’s bottom line. Maintenance staff works harder, the quality of your production suffers, and the speed with which you produce is severely lessened. Why take that chance? When A&E Coatings protects your parts with our thermal spray process, everybody wins. Contact us today to see what we can do for you to protect the quality of your precision parts and machinery.
