advanced Thermal Spray Powder methods
Elmet Technologies continues to develop its thermal spray powders, extending product lifespan by repairing worn or damaged surfaces and protecting against erosion, wear, and corrosion. These powders are applied with precision, forming a uniform coating of continuous layers on the substrate for enhanced durability and performance.
Additionally, we offer a variety of powders for diverse spraying processes, including plasma, flame, detonation, high velocity air fuel (HVAF), and high velocity oxy-fuel coating spraying (HVOF). These processes leverage our unique powder metallurgy techniques to deposit protective layers on parts, components, or specialized surfaces.
Benefits of AgGlomerated Molybdenum Thermal Spray Powder
Agglomerated molybdenum thermal spray powder, known as SOMP, continues to provide benefits to our customers. Our thermal spray powders are utilized in the application process that deposits powders onto a substrate, resulting in a uniform coating comprised of continuous layers. These benefits to our material includes consistent material behavior, maximizing coverage, and stronger adhesion. Other benefits include:
- Improved deposit efficiency
