Aerospace thermal spray coatings

Zocca coatings coats aerospace components like Solenoid valve coils, rotor, landing gear and air conditioning system parts.

Many materials are coated to improve their durability. This type of coating is sprayed onto a material. Heat is used to make gas hot enough to ionize. At this point, it can be forced out of the chamber and mixed with the coating compound. Because the heat is so high, the coating compound will melt.

It’s then blasted onto a surface and the metallic element in the coating creates great adhesion, while the other elements ensure the coating has a good finish. As soon as the coating has cooled and fully stuck to the product it will offer extensive protection, especially against heat, corrosion, abrasion, and even standard wear and tear.

Technology is vital to the development of the aerospace industry. Products in this industry are highly likely to suffer extreme duress, specifically the challenge of staying intact under extreme heat and pressure. Thermal spray coatings are perfectly adapted to help coat any item and protect it, even if returning from outer space.

The most common materials used in Aerospace thermal spray coatings are Nickel graphite, Tungsten carbide, Chromium carbide and Cobalt molybdenum.
