Coating Application Areas

General Areas where coatings are used for Protection of engineering components.
  • When component is in relative motion with another and under load causing it to scuff or tear
  • When component is interacting with one another causing gouging or cutting of its surface.
  • When component is being impinged upon by liquid or gaseous stream containing particles causing erosion.
  • When component is being deformed because of cavitation.
  • When component has small oscillation or vibration motion causing it to fatigue
  • When a component is prone to corrosion
General areas where coatings are used for providing functional properties to engineering component.
  • When component requires enhanced electrical isolation (non-conductive coating)
  • When component requires enhanced electrical conduction (conductive coating)
  • When component requires modified emissivity (emissivity coating)
  • When component requires enhanced high temperature working ability (TBC i.e. Thermal Barrier Coating)
  • When component requires close clearance control fits to be maintained (CC coating)
  • When component required to be dimensionally restored (metal build up coating)

Application side

Physical Feasibility for Coating of components
  • Coating is applied on components at our facility only. In -situ application not available.
  • Majorly coatings are applied on outer dimensions of the components.
  • Inner dimensions of components can only be coated provided the ratio of I.D to Length is around 1:1 at least.
  • Components with complex shapes having line of sight can be coated.
  • Coating thickness build up on component is recommend as 80 - 500 microns for ceramics and up to 2mm for metals.
  • New components to be sent for coating should have a ground surface for area to be coated.
  • Component's materials of construction like Mild steel, Stainless steels, Aluminium, Copper, Titanium can be coated only.
  • Component's materials hardness to be sent for coating should be less than 50 Hrc to avoid improper bonding of coating material.
  • Components especially old parts being sent for repair and remanufacture having wall thickness lesser than 5-10mm are not recommend for coating.
  • Components subject to impact loading are not recommended to be coated.
