Ceramic, tungsten carbide, chrome oxide. Applied at Mach 2.
HVOF, plasma spray, and metalizing coatings for the wear and corrosion that take heavy machinery out of service. Three processes, one engineering review.
The coating going down, in our shop.
A wear surface being thermal-sprayed onto a rotating component in the Parkway-Kew coating booth — the molten stream bonding to the base metal, pass after pass, until the engineered thickness is built up.
- Robot-controlled, repeatable spray passes
- Chemistry chosen for the wear pattern
- Applied in-house in North Brunswick, NJ
Three thermal spray processes, chosen to match the wear pattern.
HVOF Coating
Our high velocity oxygen fuel process deposits tungsten carbide and metal alloy coatings at speeds over Mach 2 for a hard, dense, and virtually defect-free finish.
- PK-920, PK-675, PK-700, PK-750
- First applied to wire drawing in 1989
- Dense, low-porosity finish
Plasma Spray
Plasma sprayed chrome oxide ceramic (PK-1500) for wear surfaces that need extreme hardness and chemical resistance without a metal binder.
- PK-1500 chrome oxide ceramic
- Extreme hardness and inertness
- Ideal for aggressive wear or chemistry
Thermal Spray (Metallizing)
Metalizing (PK-400) for dimensional restoration, and for wire drawing applications where wire must run mark-free. Refined at Parkway-Kew since we added the capability in the 1980s.
- PK-400 for wire drawing where a mark-free wire finish is required
- Dimensional restoration
- Metalizing added in the 1980s
