The High Technology Coating Division can handle the complete coating job from prep machining through finish turning, grinding and superfinishing.
Customers
Industries served include a broad spectrum in the chemical, food, marine, military, petrochemical, power generation, plastics, pulp/paper, printing, refining, textile, wire/strip and general
metalworking.
- Hypervelocity oxy-fuel (HVOF)
- Produces coatings equivalent to or better than detonation gun. Used for some pure metals, alloys and carbides. Gives highest possible bond strength.
Propels gases up to 4,500 ft./sec. at 5,200° F.
- Plasma
- Nontransferred arc system. Used principally for ceramics but has the capability to apply some pure metals, alloys and carbides. Propels gases up to 2,000 ft./sec. at 30,000° F.
- Wire
Arc
- Twin wire system. Used for heavier build-up of pure metals and alloys. Propels gases up to 1,100 ft./sec. at 10,000° F.
