Scope of Services
We provide services of Thermal spray coating on machine parts or components.
It involves using a torch to heat material, in powder or wire form, to a molten or near-molten state. A gas propels this material to the target surface, creating a new layer. The coating can be a single element, alloy, or compound with unique properties that are often only possible through thermal spraying.

- How We Perform Thermal Spray Services on Your Components?
-
Customers send us their parts for coating and refurbishment. Our process includes thorough inspection, pre-grinding or machining, masking, blasting, coating application, and post-finishing. After these steps, we perform final inspections and send the parts upon customer approval.
- What is the price of thermal spray coatings?
-
The price of thermal spray coatings varies based on several factors
- Part drawing detailing geometry, dimensions, weight, base material, and coating area.
- Coating thickness, material, and surface finish.
- Material construction and its hardness.
- Part condition; additional machining or grinding for recoating if not new.
- Thermal spray parts typically cost 5 to 10 times more than hard-chrome plated parts but offer 2 to 5 times longer lifespan.
- What are the variables or customization available to our customers?
-
- Selection of coating composition, as indicated in the chart provided.
- Choice of coating thickness, ranging from 0.08 mm to 3 mm.
- Specification of desired surface finish for the coating, measured in Ra (roughness average), as outlined in the benefits section.
- What are things to take care before sending the job?
-
- Ensure the job is properly packed and rust-preventive measures are applied.
- Verify the job is free of pinholes, dents, and other surface defects.
- Perform pre-grinding operations and undercutting for the coating where necessary.
- Maintain 3-5 mm collars larger than the final finished size where possible.
- Remove sharp edges and debur the job before sending.
