Electrospark Deposition Can Meet Diverse Application Requirements (379b)
Back to main topic page...
Application Range
- Applies to any conductive, fusible metal surface.
- Applies to any conductive, fusible Cermet surface.
- Broad range of metals and alloys can be applied.
- Can deposit protective coatings.
- Can deposit repair/build-up material.
- Not suitable for large areas or complex geometries (i.e. threads, etc.).
Industrial Uses
- Aircraft turbine engine repairs.
- Industrial cutting tools and dies.
- Medical, dental, orthopedic tools.
- Automotive racing engines.
- Nuclear reactors, fossil energy systems.
- High-tech sports equipment.
- Field repair of military components.
- Timber and paper industry.
Electrospark Deposition Coating Process Advantages
- Produces consistent, thin layers/repairs.
- True metallurgical bond with substrate.
- Substrate remains at/near ambient temperature (no thermal distortion or effects on heat treatment).
- Micro arc-welding process.
- Negligible surface preparation.
- Negligible waste stream before, during and after application.
- Minimal training required.
- Negligible Heat Affected Zone.
- No vacuum chamber required.
- Gravity independent.
