Protecting Critical Power Generation Assets
Protection Against Extreme Heat
Power generation equipment operates in extremely hot conditions, which can lead to oxidation and surface damage over time. Our thermal spray coatings provide a heat resistant barrier that helps protect components and extend their service life.
Corrosion Protection
Steam, moisture and chemicals can rapidly corrode exposed surfaces. Our thermal spray coatings create a protective layer that helps reduce corrosion, minimise downtime and prolong component life.
Erosion and Wear Resistance
High velocity steam, gases and abrasive particles gradually wear away critical components. Our thermal spray coatings provide a hard wearing surface that helps reduce wear and maintain reliable performance.
What Components Can We Help Protect?
Turbine Components
Thermal spray coatings protect critical turbine components such as blades, shafts and sealing surfaces, helping extend service life, reduce maintenance and support reliable operation.
Boilers and Combustion Equipment
Boiler tubes and combustion system components are exposed to high temperatures, ash deposits and corrosive gases. Surface degradation in these areas can lead to reduced efficiency and expensive outages.
Pumps, Valves and Pipework
Pumps and valves are essential for controlling fluids and steam throughout power generation facilities. These components can suffer from cavitation, erosion and corrosion over time.
Refurbishment Rather Than Replacement
One of the major advantages of thermal spray technology is the ability to restore worn or damaged components.
Replacing large power generation components can be expensive and often involves lengthy lead times. In many cases, thermal spraying allows existing assets to be rebuilt and returned to service at a fraction of the cost of manufacturing new parts.
Following surface preparation, worn areas can be rebuilt using suitable coating materials before being machined back to the required dimensions. This refurbishment process can significantly reduce maintenance costs while minimising downtime.
For power plant operators seeking to maximise the value of their existing assets, refurbishment can provide substantial long term savings.
Working With Us
At Metallisation Ltd, we recognise that no two power generation facilities are identical. Different fuel sources, operating temperatures and environmental conditions all influence coating performance.
Our team is able to work closely with you to understand the specific challenges affecting your equipment. By assessing operating conditions, failure mechanisms and maintenance objectives, we can recommend coating systems that address the root cause of the problem.
Our extensive experience across all industrial sectors allows us to provide coating services for both new components and refurbishment projects.
