Licensing Opportunities/ Ready for Adaptation
Readiness Level:
IPDI Level: 8 (Reassessing feasibility (IP, Competition, Technology, Commercial))
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.
Possible 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.
