A thermal spray coating service helps to extend the life of moving equipment. The coatings metallurgically bond to a substrate, and can be applied in any sliding or abrasive wear application where maximum bond strength is required. For instance, the application of fused nickel-based coatings on pump plungers that pressurize fracking fluid increases the efficiency of shale gas production. Carbide-based coatings may be applied to the sliding surfaces in gate valves for wear and corrosion resistance. Other available coatings include tungsten carbide-cobalt chromium (WC-CoCr), and chromium carbide-nickel chromium (Cr3C2-NiCr) for high-temperature operation.
