Thermal spray coatings provide longevity and functionality to components by improving their exterior strength. The process of thermal spray coating involves parts being covered in a durable outer layer, making each component resistant to wear and damage. There are numerous forms of thermal spray coating such as HVOF, Plasma Spraying, Arc Wire Spraying and Flame Spraying, each designed to improve the function and durability of various engineered components. To find out which thermal spray coating is most appropriate for your products, get in touch with EP Coatings.

How Porsche used HVOF to Revolutionise Brake Systems
- Details
HVOF stands for High Velocity Oxygen Fuel and refers to the process in which a thermal spray is used to coat a surface, improving its resistance to erosion and corrosion.
During HVOF, fuel and oxygen are fed into a combustion chamber where they ignite and combust continuously. The hot gases produced exit the chamber where they are combined with the coating material in powder form before being released as a high velocity spray stream. This spray stream is then directed towards a surface where, upon impact, the high kinetic and thermal energy forms a coating with extremely high density and bond strength.
