Introduction
The world of surface technology is fascinating and constantly changing. At Putzier Surface Technology, we are proud to be at the forefront of this evolution, offering our customers a wide range of advanced coating processes. These processes are not only innovative, but also critical to improving component life, efficiency and performance. In this article, we would like to give you a detailed insight into some of these processes and explain their benefits.
HVAF: The next generation high-speed process
The HVAF process, also known as High Velocity Air Fuel, has proven to be a true game changer in the world of thermal spray technology. It enables the application of extremely dense and low-porosity hard metal coatings. But why is this so important? One of the main advantages of this process is that it often does not require subsequent, time-consuming sealing. This results in significant time and cost savings, while ensuring high quality and durability of the coating. This process is particularly invaluable in demanding industrial applications.
Plasma: The versatile coating process
Plasma spraying is not just another coating process. It uses the plasma state, the so-called fourth state of matter, to generate extremely high temperatures. These temperatures allow us to create oxide ceramic coatings with unprecedented adhesion and durability. This process is particularly useful for applications that require high heat resistance and wear resistance, such as aerospace and power generation.
