Capitalize on the Benefits of Wear-Resistant Coatings

Article Category: Business

Author Name: Chuck Donald

It is a fact that the metal industry is burdened with the problem of wearing of metal components. Wearing of metals means expenditures for manufacturing firms spent in repair and loss of working time devoted to repairs. Removing the problem of metal wear is the concern of engineering experts who continually evaluate the metal components to come up with wear resistant coatings.
Understanding The Wearing Of Metals
The wearing of metals is common to all industries. Understanding how metal wear occurs improves practice, performance, design, and metal components to achieve the desired performance at a reduced cost in operations.
Wear reduces the serviceability of tools in time. Wear progressively loses materials from the surface of a body through mechanical action and eventually causes deformation of the metal component. The wearing of metal reduces the initial benefits derived from the component as it goes through its running time.
Wearing of metals is caused by several conditions. Understanding each condition and the process of wearing will determine what control is necessary to minimize or even eliminate repair and maintenance altogether.
Adhesive wear. This type of wear is caused by friction contact and found between surfaces. This wear results in displacement of debris and materials which then attaches to another surface. This action causes deformation of materials.
Abrasive wear. This wear happens when a hard surface comes into contact with a soft surface. This friction results in material loss due to hard particles forced on a solid surface.
Erosion. This type occurs through the abrasive action of steam, slurries, and water which carry abrasive materials.
Cavitation. This happens due to the turbulent flow of liquids. The abrasive particles carried cause the degradation of the metal.
Corrosion. This type of wear refers to the gradual deterioration of metal surfaces. The deterioration comes as the effect of the atmosphere, chemicals, and gases that create pitting and the dissolution of the metal surface.
Oxidation. This type of wear is caused by moisture and heat that leads to crumbling and metal flaking.
The Thermal Spray Solution
Overcoming the wearing of metals needs a thorough grasp of its process to come up with the appropriate protective coating. The metal coating industry has come up with hundreds of solutions to counter the degradation of metals and maximize the benefits of the industrial tools. Among these protective coatings is the thermal spray high-velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF).
The use of HVOF is for wear resistant coatings of hard metals produced through supersonic speed at reduced temperature. The HVOF effects a protective coating through the integration of covering particles to the surface of the substrate.
A pre-mixed gas fuel and oxygen are fed into the nozzle of a spray weapon and combusted in a chamber. The appropriate material in powder form is injected into the nozzle where it heats and burns, leaving the nozzle at supersonic speed and comes into contact with the surface. The whole process produces a strong and uniform covering.
The material used for HVOF which is in powder form comes with different grain sizes. The grains can be manipulated to match the required repair. And the appropriate grain size allows the design specifications for the metal component done.
Coatings that are wear-resistant are excellent for overcoming the wear of metals and in extending the benefits derived from metal components. The success of these wear resistant coatings, however, lies on several factors that need evaluation, such as technical consideration, environmental factors, the process involved, and cost consideration.
