So, what is this deal with Thermal Spray? Is it the same like any other spray? As the name suggests, it works as a simple spray, and it will flush out something from its nozzle. But the difference is that, instead of normal spraying material, it will be giving out molten metal, alloys, carbides, or ceramics. Thermal spray is a process where a metal, alloy, or ceramic is melted, atomized, and sprayed. When the molten material is sprayed, it will form small droplets that will flatten out on the material being sprayed on and rapidly solidify as they will hit the object being coated. The purpose of this is to add a layer of material to a component with a different material in order to change the surface properties so that is prone to adverse environment conditions. This layer which is formed after the spraying is called the additive layer or the coating. The material that is added will adhere to the base material because of mechanical bonding forces present in the spray material.
Metal Spray is sometimes confused with welding and brazing. Though the process is similar and so is the end result, they are actually very distinctively different technologies. All three of these technologies will add a layer of material to change the surface properties of parts, but the process and the dynamics of how the process is achieved are actually very different.
In Welding, the heat is used to melt the base material of the part being coated and it then it will melt the material that is being added to the surface of the part. But HVOF powder being used works better than all the other methods.
