Global Thermal Spray Coatings Market: Introduction
Thermal spray coatings are applied to change the surface properties of substances and protect them from degradation. Thermal spray coatings provide the substrate with wear resistance, friction control, corrosion resistance, protection against heat, and dimensional restoration. The material utilized for coating is in the form of a wire or powder. It is heated to melt it into tiny droplets and then sprayed onto the surface of the substrate. Any material that melts without decomposing can be used as coating materials for thermal spray coatings. The coating can be applied without essentially heating up the substrate; thus, it does not induce any thermal distortion to the substrate. The method adopted is essentially a mechanical bonding process.
Thermal Spray Coatings Market: Overview
The coating materials utilized in thermal spray coating include metals, ceramics, cermet, and polymers. Thermal spray coatings are employed in diverse industries ranging from electronics and semiconductors to food processing and the biomedical industry.
