Traditional Nickel plating does not provide adequate performance / life in demanding applications such as automotive / aerospace. Thermal spray technique is used in variety of situations where properties such as wear resistance, low-friction, anti-galling, etc. Process uses compressed gas to atomize and propel the material to the substrate.
Molybdenum (for its inherent properties) coatings are ideal for friction control on automotive and aerospace components.
Advantages:
- Process offers high-volume & high-quality coatings.
- Coating offers longer substrate life and durability
