Metallic parts are manufactured to withstand certain levels of stress. However, even at lower stress levels, sometimes metal parts can fail during the use for which they were intended. This can be caused by wear. There are numerous types of wear including the following: corrosion, heat, metal to metal contact, impact, and abrasion. The strength […]
Frequently, when titanium and titanium alloy thermal spray coatings are referred to, they are most often found in military, chemical, marine, aerospace, and aviation industries. These alloys’ further widespread application is, however, severely limited due to several characteristics. These are as follows: High-speed friction flammability High temperature flammability Poor abrasion resistance High friction coefficient Low […]
In nearly every industry in the entire world, thermal spray is being used to some extent. It can be used on the surface upon which we walk, on components inside high-tech machinery, on medical implants which remain in the body for decades, and much more. It can provide protection against harsh conditions, make a surface […]
Modern technology is constantly evolving. What was “the best thing since sliced bread” yesterday is old hat and outdated today. The same can be said for surface modification. What worked well yesterday is being outdone by something that was developed today. What’s developed today will be outdone by new and improved methods and materials still […]
Using precision machining, advanced metallurgy, and laser cladding technology, damaged and worn out rotors are now being remanufactured. So much so, in fact, that they’re better than brand-new! But first things first, what are rotary screw compressors? These compressors are a kind of gas compressor that uses a positive displacement mechanism classified as a rotary […]
The two starring ingredients in stainless steel are nickel and chromium. Thanks to them, this modified steel alloy is one of the most resilient metals in use today. But stainless steel galling can take a part or component and ruin it beyond use. Fortunately, with thermal spray protective coatings, stainless steel can have a much […]
