Thermal Spray Metal Coating
Cutting-Edge Thermal Spray Technology
Martin Equipment Rebuilders brings you state-of-the-art thermal spray coating solutions, designed to extend the life and durability of your industrial equipment. We specialize in high-performance coatings to combat erosion, corrosion, and wear, ensuring your equipment remains efficient and reliable.
What is Thermal Spraying?
Thermal spraying is a high-tech coating process where metallic and non-metallic materials are melted and sprayed onto surfaces. This imparts unique properties that the base material alone does not possess. By using a thermal spraying gun, we atomize and apply these materials onto a substrate, resulting in a durable coating that enhances resistance to wear, corrosion, and extreme conditions.
The materials we can apply include metals, alloys, carbides, ceramics, and their combinations, making the applications nearly limitless.
Benefits of Thermal Spray Coatings
Thermal spray coatings can:
- Improve Part Longevity: Increase equipment lifespan by providing durable, wear-resistant surfaces.
- Enhance Part Performance: Modify part characteristics with unique coatings.
- Reclaim Obsolete Parts: Restore worn, corroded, or damaged parts to OEM specifications, offering significant cost savings over time.
This process requires very high temperatures to melt the coating material, yet the substrate itself is subjected to minimal heat, allowing for use on various substrates.
