What Is HVOF Coating?

An engineering overview of HVOF process behavior, materials and typical applications.

Process

Powder particles are heated and accelerated in a high-velocity gas stream and impact a prepared substrate to form a dense coating.

Materials

Common engineering systems include WC-CoCr, WC-Co, Cr₃C₂-NiCr and selected metallic alloys.

Applications

Shafts, rolls, hydraulic rods, turbine components and drilling tools are common examples.
