6 Quick Ways to Optimise Your Compressed Air System
There seems to be a misconception that compressed air is ‘free’. Most factories depend on compressed air for general use – it is one of the key elements of most production lines. Thermal spray systems rely on compressed air and because it is widely accessible on the energiser and flame
Surface Preparation Techniques For Thermal Spray Coatings
Also known as metal spraying, thermal spraying is the process of applying a metal or ceramic coating on to the surface of another material. Depending on the coating, the process can protect ferrous metals from corrosion as well as improve wear and thermal conductivity. Before applying any type of thermal

What Is High Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF) And How Does It Work?
HVOF uses a Fuel (commonly Kerosene or Hydrogen) and Oxygen mix which are ignited in a combustion chamber under precisely controlled conditions. The combustion gases accelerate through a converging and diverging nozzle at very high speeds (up to Mach 7). Powders, such as Tungsten Carbide, Nickel Chrome alloys, and Chrome
Arc Spray Vs. Flame Spray: What’s the Difference?
There are two thermal spray or metal spray processes that are commonly suitable for the same applications – arc spraying and flame spraying. You may have heard of these processes at least in passing, but do you really know their similarities and differences and what uses they might have? In
How Does Flame Spray Work?
When you need to apply a thermal spray coating, a popular option available to you is flame spray. This is used for a variety of purposes and it has numerous benefits, as we are going to see below. In this article, we are going to discuss flame spray, including how
