Thermal Spray Coatings Market Analysis of Top Players, Share, Growth and Forecasts – 2023
Thermal spray coatings involve a heat source, which melts the coating material in a powder, wire, or rod form into tiny droplets and sprayed it onto the substrate at high velocity. Thermally sprayed coatings are used to enhance and improve the performance characteristics of the substrates by imparting resistance against wear, erosion, cavitation, corrosion, abrasion, or heat. It is compatible with different substrates such as metals as well as plastics. Various types of coating materials such as ceramics, carbides, metals & alloys, polymers, and cermet are used for thermal spray coatings. Thermal spray coating offers various advantages such as thick coatings, high deposition rate, and low toxic gas emissions over several surface treatment processes such as nickel and chrome plating, nitride or heat treat processes, anodizing, and weld overlay. Thermal spray coatings are used across a wide range of applications in different end-use industries such as aerospace, automotive, healthcare, energy & power, electronics, agriculture, and industrial. For instance, they are widely used to coat industrial parts such aerospace
