Thermal Spray Coatings is a general term for a coating method in which a consumable is applied as a spray of finely separated molten or semi-molten droplets.

Thermal Spray Coating    Thermal spray coatings are used to restore the dimensions of worn or corroded components. Despite the fact that the thermal spray coating adds no strength to the component, it is a quick and cost-effective technique to restore part dimensions. Grinding processes are frequently required to smooth the coatings surface and put the final dimensions  within acceptable tolerances. Every industrial industry use thermal spray coatings for dimensional restoration. Thermal Spray coatings capacity to apply metal, cermet, ceramic, and polymer coatings in layers of significant thickness, typically 0.1 to 10mm, for technical purposes sets it apart. Almost any material can be sprayed as long as it melts or turns into plastic throughout the process. The particles produce'splats' or 'platelets' at the substrate surface, which interlock and pile up to form the coating. Thermal spray coatings are used to reduce friction and wear, hence extending the life of machi...
