PLASMA

A desired material (in powder form) is fed into the plasma spray jet stream, where the temperature is around 10,000K.  Subsequently, the material is melted and propelled toward the prepared substrate (your part's surface) forming a state-of-the-art protective coating. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your part remains relatively cool because the energy is used up to melt the material itself.  Plasma spray is used to produce highly advanced coatings on surfaces to provide protection against wear, corrosion, erosion, high temperatures; it can also change the appearance, electrical or tribological properties of the surface, replace worn materials and more.

Ceramic coatings are some of the most popular coatings produced by plasma spraying.  Such coatings are dense, inert and exhibit desirable surface properties in their as-sprayed condition, polished, or finish ground to low Ra.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Moreover, Plasma coatings are applied where there is a need for a coating to withstand a harsh chemical or wear environments, or to alter surface properties for non-stick or traction control.  Another prominent application is "Thermal barrier coatings" which are produced by Plasma spraying various ceramic materials, such as Zirconia or Alumina types for protection against heat and oxidation.

A Ceramic coated part can outlast an un-coated one by a margin of 100:1 and chrome by 10:1.

Many ceramics are available for coating, including:

· Chromium oxide

· Titanium oxide

· Aluminum oxide

· Zirconium oxide

· Magnesium zirconate

· Yittria

· Calcia

· Alumina-Titania

· And other alloys
