Thermal coating
Bandak is a leader in thermal spray and related coatings technologies. In contrast to welding and other hot processes, these are applied “cold” to your components and give, therefore, minimal distortion. Thermal spraying allows coatings of high-performance materials such as metals, alloys, ceramics, cermets or carbides to be applied to more economical base performance materials such as metals, alloys, ceramics, cermets or carbides to be applied to more economical base materials. The various coating processes can offer tremendous improvements in component performance, such as wear, heat, oxidisation and corrosion resistance. Thermal spray is also widely used in the reclamation of damaged or worn components, offering a cost-effective alternative to buying new replacement parts.
Plasma Spraying
- Typical usage areas: Propeller sleeves, thermal barrier, low friction components, superb for corrosion, high wear resistance.
- Porosity (2-10%).
- Bond strength 40-50 MPa.
- Typical coatings are oxides, ceramics, carbides and metals.
Arc Spraying
- The typical coating is metals.
- Typical usage areas: Corrosion protection, mismachined parts, thickness limitation of approximately 5 mm.
HVOF (High-Velocity Oxygen Fuel)
- Mostly, all materials can be coated. Typical coatings are carbides and metals.
- Typical thickness: 0,2mm.
- Low Porosity (<1%).
- Bond Strength (>80MPa).
- Cold process (<150 degrees C) no change in structure in the base material.
- Pump impeller, shaft, liner and piston rod, wear ring/sleeve, gate valves, ball valves, mismachined parts/components, swivel parts.
