Thermal Spray Technologies Include
Flame spray (wire,rod,powder), Arc spray, Plasma spray (includes atmosphere controlled plasma spray), HVOF (high velocity oxygen and fuel spray) or HVAF(high velocity air and fuel spray), Detonation Spray, Cold spray.
Thermal spraying can provide thick coatings (thickness range from 20 microns to several mm), over a large area at high deposition rate as compared to other coating processes such as electroplating, physical and chemical vapor deposition.
