Thermal spraying

Thermal spraying is a process by which metallic or ceramic materials can be applied to a substrate. In this process, the coating material in powder form is heated by various processes and brought to such a high speed that it builds up a high adhesive strength to the base material on impact. The applied materials allow thermal spray coatings to be functionally optimized very well, for example in the direction of corrosion or wear protection. Thermal barrier coatings are also possible. This opens up a wide range of applications from repair coatings to aircraft engine construction.

Superheroes from films wear armour that protects them. A particularly effective protective layer that not only makes them appear more imposing, but also makes what lies beneath more resistant. At first glance, thermal spraying also offers just that.

Thermal coating of 3D plastic parts

A new coating system makes it possible to thermally coat 3D-printed plastic components. This allows metal alloys such as stainless steel and molybdenum as well as hard metals such as tungsten carbide-cobalt or oxide ceramics such as zirconium oxide to be applied to plastics.
