What are applications of nano coatings?
Materials science constantly helps the world of industrial and specialty coatings to advance. Over the last decade, researchers have had some remarkable breakthroughs in developing new types of coatings and even entirely new materials through innovative technologies. Nanocoatings are among the most exciting breakthroughs to arise from those developments. Wh...
What are the latest applications in HVOF coatings?
High Velocity Oxygen Fuel coating, commonly called HVOF, is a thermal spray coating process that increases resistance to corrosion and wear by restoring a component’s initial dimensions or performance qualities. Molten or semi-molten coating materials are sprayed directly onto the substrate using a high pressure gas stream. What is HVOF Coating? In the HV...
What are different types of anti-rust anti corrosion coatings?
A study by the major industry association NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) determined the annual cost of corrosion control in the United States is $279 billion. At the time the study was commissioned by the Federal Highway Administration, the figure represented 2%-3% of the U.S. GDP. Researchers determined that up to 30% of those costs –...
