The HVOF Tungsten Carbide Coating Advantage

Article Category: Business

Author Name: Chuck Donald

Years of research for a high performing hard metal coating have finally led to the development of HVOF (High-Velocity Oxygen Fuel) tungsten carbide or WC (the chemical formula of equal parts of tungsten and carbon) coating. The entry of this coating in the market as material for hard metal resolves the limitations experienced in hard chrome plating. As a result, the metal coating industry sees a trend leaning towards the use of the carbide as a proven and reliable industrial tool. The use of the coating, however, does not mean replacing the hard chrome plating but serves as a supplement, adding solutions to specific problems where higher levels of performance are desired.
An Indispensable Industrial Coating
The high confidence level shown by the airline industry in the use of thermal spray is fast spreading to other industries, such as textile, plastic, paper/pulp, steel, chemical, and power generation. Evaluations done on thermal spraying have led to the increase in understanding of the tool and the benefits it offers, acknowledging it as a proven commercial and industrial tool.
Performance advantage. This application has the ability to meet a variety of demanding specifications and provide improved wear, resistance to impact and fatigue, and improved resistance to corrosion.

Reduced out-of-service time as well as decreased life cycle costs. One significant feature of HVOF tungsten carbide is its fast deposition process, resulting in shorter turnaround during repairs and maintenance. And, since this coating does not cause hydrogen embrittlement, time and cost are saved for its treatment.

More durable coating. The key to the durability of metals is its strength which is provided by the carbide. This coating is as stiff as and double the density of steel, which makes it the perfect material for hard metal covering.
How It Works
HVOF is a thermal spray process that makes use of a supersonic speed of coating material at a reduced temperature. The tremendous impact of the speed causes the coating material to bond with the substrate which then forms a very strong coating.
The HVOF process feeds a pre-mixed fuel gas and oxygen into a combustion chamber at high pressure producing a hot gas stream. The carbide is injected into a nozzle where it mixes with the speeding gas. When these particles reach the substrate at supersonic speed, it bonds instantly and builds up the coating.
The resulting coating is highly dense, adhesive, and cohesive, which accounts for its strength, high resistance to wear, low residual stress, and low porosity.
The carbide is in a powder form with fine grains. The grain size and volume are what make for the strong features of its coating with the added value of providing designs to fit the specific properties required for the component.
To date, the use of HVOF tungsten carbide coating proves its viability as an indispensable industrial and commercial tools in many areas, such as superior performance, application feasibility, life cycle costs, and process economics. These features are what make the thermal spray that uses the carbide material acceptable to a growing number of industrial and commercial markets. Continued research, testing, and evaluation of the performance of this coating will further improve the advantages derived from its use and will pave the way to other possibilities.
