High Velocity Oxygen Fuel Coating (HVOF) Services in India

HIGH PERFORMANCE SURFACE METALLURGY

High Velocity Oxygen Fuel Coating Process

It is a thermal spray procedure that is used to enhance and restore the component's surface properties and geometry. This coating technique improves the surface of materials and enhances the life of equipment by increasing their resistance against corrosion, erosion, and severe temperature.

This is a highly preferred and trusted technique to safeguard the parts of equipment that are expected to be damaged from wear and corrosion. Effective HVOF coating sprays help products to have exceptional wear and corrosion resistance superior to chromium plating. Thus, our team is dedicated to providing exceptional High Velocity Oxy Fuel (HVOF) spraying for the protection of your industrial equipment.

Key Advantages & Industrial Applications

Advantages:

  • Due to large particle impact velocities, there is higher density and lowered porosity.
  • Provides high-temperature resistance up to 1000 Degree Celsius
  • It provides your equipment with increased wear resistance because of harder and tougher coating.
  • It offers a higher strength bond to the underlying substrate and improved interrelated power inside the coating.
  • It has a thicker coating because of less residual stresses.
  • Lower oxide levels are because of lower in-flight exposure time to oxygen
  • With the reduced time at temperature, there is a retention of powder chemistry
  • Higher impact velocities and smaller powder sizes help in smoother as-sprayed surface
  • Due to less degradation of carbide phases, there is higher hardness
  • It provides improved corrosion resistance due to less through-thickness porosity

HVOF uses oxygen and combustible fuel (kerosene or hydrogen) burned in a combustion chamber to produce supersonic gas velocities (over 1500 m/s), propelling powder particles onto the substrate with immense kinetic energy.

HVOF produces coatings with exceptional bond strength (>70 MPa), extremely low porosity (<1%), compressive residual stresses, and minimal chemical decomposition of carbide phases.

Tungsten carbide (WC-Co, WC-Co-Cr), Chromium carbide (Cr3C2-NiCr), Stellite alloys, Hastelloy, Inconel, and superalloys designed for extreme abrasion, cavitation, and high-temperature oxidation.

Yes. In hydro power turbines and slurry pump components, HVOF carbide coatings show up to 10 times better cavitation resistance than unprotected 13Cr-4Ni stainless steel.

While primarily applied in controlled workshop spray booths, Thermal Spray Engineering operates specialized mobile HVOF units for on-site applications on large vessels, valves, and turbine runners.
