Thermal Spray Services
Our coating technologies extend component life, restore precision, and enhance performance in industries where reliability cannot fail.
Durability & performance enhancement
We apply a full range of alloys, carbides, ceramics, and pure metals designed to protect against wear, corrosion, erosion, and surface degradation. Thermal spray coatings also enhance insulation, conductivity, lubricity, and shock resistance, delivering measurable improvements in service life and efficiency.
Our thermal spray coating process
HVOF coating
Our high-velocity oxy-fuel process achieves exceptional bond strength and surface density, propelling gases at up to 4,500 feet per second and temperatures near 5,200°F. Ideal for hard metals, alloys, and carbides requiring superior adhesion and wear resistance.
Wire arc coating
Wire arc systems feed two charged metal wires to create an electric arc that atomizes material for rapid deposition. Operating at up to 10,000°F, this process produces thicker metallic coatings suitable for build-up and restoration.
Plasma spray coating
Plasma systems operate at temperatures exceeding 30,000°F to apply ceramics, metals, and alloys with precise control. This method produces dense, uniform coatings that withstand high heat and harsh chemical environments.Markets we serve

FAQs
The cost of spray coating can range greatly per square inch depending on the type of part, its size, its overall condition (new/used), its intended use, and more. These details help us provide the most accurate price quote.
The best spray coating method is entirely dependent on the end use of the part and the characteristics necessary for that use, such as conductivity, longevity, slip resistance or enhancement, etc.
We can use a wide range of materials in our thermal spray coatings, including pure metals, alloys, carbides, and ceramics. Feel free to view our full list of spray coating materials here.
For example, thermal spray coatings can extend the life of a roll in a manufacturing operation anywhere from 3x to 15x the part life. This is specific to a rolling motion, not impact. Longevity estimates cannot be answered broadly; contact us with your specs for an accurate statement.
The answer to this question depends on several factors, including the type of part, its size, its overall condition (new or used, which can determine how much prep work is needed), its intended use, and the current workload of our spray coating division.
