HVOF coatings

HVOF

Company Chetra SK sro uses system nanoHVOF with robot ABB from Germany company Thermico GmbH & Co. KG.

For application by nanoHVOF with robot ABB we use 2 types of torch:

  • CJS K5.2-N - outer coatings
  • ID CoolFlow-N - inner coatings

It is a cutting-edge technology in the field of thermal spraying. Heat source is a mixture of oxygen and kerosene. Oxygen and kerosene are filled into the combustion chamber, wherein the atomization occurs and ignition. Combustion products are then accelerated through the nozzle at supersonic values (Mach 1 to 2.5). Stable combustion conditions are secured by monitoring the pressure in the combustion chamber. The burner is cooled with water that flows in the burner intersheath.

Flue gas in the nozzle are accelerated to supersonic speed. The material in powder form is fed to the diffuser with nitrogen. The diffuser occurs to fuse the powder and then through a nozzle at supersonic acceleration towards the coated components.

NanoHVOF technology ensures even distribution and the particle spraying the base material using a high speed powder particles, so there is a high density and adhesion nanoHVOF coatings. This technology is limited to spraying of ceramic coatings because of the relatively low flame temperature about 2600 ° C, on the other, this technology is particularly limited oxidation. This technology is specific by providing the spraying compressive stress, significantly increases the adhesion (adhesion) to the substrate feed.

Options of nano HVOF coatings:

  • Turbine blades
  • Landing gear
  • Replacement of hard chrome plating - hydraulic actuators, cylinders, and other general applications
  • Pumps in critical applications - protecting the impeller, bushings and other parts
  • Automotive industry
  • Piping, pipes, risers - pipe coating reduce maintenance costs

We use in nanoHVOF coatings powders based on:

  • Tungsten carbide
  • Chromium carbide
  • Nickel
  • Cobalt
  • Irons
  • Mixtures of these materials

HVOF nano technology offers solutions to problems:

  • Wear - fatigue, erosive, adhesion, abrasion, vibration, cavitation
  • Corrosion
  • Electrical conductivity / non-conductivity
  • Thermal barrier
  • Replacement of hard chrome plating
