Understanding Titanium Nitride Coating

When it comes to industries of varying types (who make frequent use of metals), titanium nitride coating is an extremely popular application. If you are unfamiliar with industrial coating, it might be hard to grasp the reason for this application. Let’s take a look at the basics for a better understanding of titanium nitride coating and industrial coatings in general. Industrial Coating Systems Industrial coating applications use chemicals to apply treatments to tools and other equipment. Frequent maintenance is needed on certain tools (i.e., cutting equipment) because protection from wearing and tearing is needed. Problems with these tools can be minimized through the application of coatings. The longevity of tools and machinery is greatly increased through the use of these coatings because they add to metal lubricity, increase lifetime, and lessen repair and maintenance costs. Performance can be enhanced, and a huge difference noticed even after a coating of the thinnest l...

Run-Through of Different Thermal Spray Coating Methods

Today, thermal spray coatings are utilized in a number of different industries. These coatings consist of wire and molten powder which are exposed to plasma or oxy fuel combustion. The fire from the spray device will power the mixture that has been heated, and once it has been sprayed onto metal, the mixture will retain a firm coating. Thermal spray coating s are used in a wide spectrum of many useful applications, which can include protecting airplanes, buildings and other structures from extreme temperatures, chemicals or environmental conditions such as humidity and rain. Here are the 5 most common processes to generate thermal spray coatings today: HVOF (High Velocity Oxy-Fuel Spraying) HVOF is a process which makes use of a torch that allows the flame to spread whenever the nozzle is used. This creates rapid acceleration which speeds up the particles in the mixture. The end result is an exceptionally thin coating which is evenly applied. Despite being thin, this coat...

Basics of Plasma Spray Coating Before Application

Plasma spray coating is a thermal coating process in which particles that have been softened by heat form a coating onto a substrate. This process aims to prevent corrosion or damage and allow materials that have been sprayed to last longer and have improved resistance. This popular form of thermal spraying can be used to coat any material and its flexibility can be used in many different industries such as medical, aerospace, automotive and agriculture. How does Plasma Spraying work? The coating material is in powder form and injected into a high temperature plasma jet which heats the powder before accelerating it out towards the substrate. The plasma gas acts as the spraying heat source and gets heated to such a high temperature that it ionizes and becomes electrically charged, meaning materials with high melting points can be sprayed. The plasma gun itself comprises of a copper anode and tungsten cathode which the gas flows through and around, making plasma that is for...

New Challenges for Industrial Coatings Contractors

With the incorporation of advanced equipment in virtually every business vertical and the growing concern for sustainability, the modern connotation of industrialcoatings contractors has undergone a drastic transformation of sorts over the last decade. Even though it was largely a much-neglected aspect of safety and aesthetic consideration, the upkeep of floors by utilizing high-performance coatings has now become a common practice across a host of diverse industries. The latest range of floor coating solutions encapsulates an impressive set of characteristics along the likes of high moisture resistance, eco-friendliness, durability, functionality, slip resistance, longevity, pace of installation, economy and aesthetics. Evidently, there can be different floors for different departments in a single industry these days, and the permutations and combinations can be countless when it comes to optimal protection of these flooring systems. In fact, reliable experts claim that the revenue...
