At McCoy Coatings & Hydraulics | Inotec, we utilize a number of thermal spray application systems to more acutely address our customers’ specific requirements. We have recently renovated our thermal spray booth to better serve the growing demand for this type of coating, using the following systems:
- The high-velocity oxygen-fuel (HVOF) thermal spray process results in a coating that is very low in porosity and very high in bond strength. It works with an oxygen-fuel mixture and involves introducing various powders into a flame and expelling them at velocities that surpass 600 m/s to produce a high-quality, wear- or corrosion-resistant coating.
- Plasma thermal spray systems – Perfect for smaller ID applications and ceramic coatings, this process involves transferring an electrical current from the torch head to the part during application.
- Spray and fuse method – This provides a metallurgical bond between the coating and base material. It works well for components that will be exposed to a high-pressure environment.
- Twin wire arc method of thermal spray coating application – This is used for larger applications or bond coats. It involves applying coatings at higher deposit efficiency, providing a more ductile coating.
Countless materials can be applied via these thermal spray systems. Examples include stainless steel, aluminum bronze, nickel chrome, copper, chrome carbide, ceramic, fusible nickel, tungsten carbide, and many more.
Shot Peen
McCoy Coatings & Hydraulics | Inotec also provides shot peening as an additional process to add value and durability to your downhole components. Precise shot application is performed in our automated facility.
