Technology Details

Status: Prototype testing ongoing

Key Features

  • High productivity due to high pulse frequency
  • Less maintenance: absence of mechanically moving parts
  • Good adhesion strength (>10000 psi)
  • Dense microstructure (< 1%)
  • Negligible thermal degradation and excellent tribological properties
  • Ability to coat wide range of powders, carbide, oxide, metal powders
  • Lower substrate temperature & low oxide content
  • Coatings with 50-2000 microns thickness can be produced

Applications

  • Steel industry application such as Bridle rolls
  • Textile & Paper industry applications such as wire passing pulleys, plungers, steeped cone pulleys, bearing stopper plates, guide rolls
  • Gas compressor applications such as spindle valve, compressor disc, compressor shaft
  • HP & LP turbine blades, compressor discs, LCA nozzles, thrust beating sleeves, propeller shaft seals.
  • Power and Energy applications such as guide vanes, spindle valves, hydro turbine blades.
