At Plasmatec Engineers, we are determined
to drive thermal spray coating technology forward by enhancing today’s
performance while striving to develop
the next generation of coatings. How do
we tackle such an ambitious goal? By
continuously improving the performance
and safety features of our equipment,
powders, and wires and ensuring consistency and repeatability in the
coatings you produce every day. At
the same time, application-focused
materials and coatings engineering continues in our research facilities to “push
the envelope” and develop Thermal
Spray Technology for the New
Millennium.
- Deliver value in the products we supply, the service and assistance we provide, and the teamwork we cultivate
- Maintain the highest standards in the thermal spray industry for powder and wire consistency and performance
- Engineer, build and support the most reliable, safest thermal spray systems availables
- Provide superior automation integration equipment, designed for high productivity and safety
Our wide variety of thermal spray
devices affords you the option of selecting the precise system to match your
applications. Praxair and TAFA provides
multiple options for Arc Spray, Plasma
Spray, HVOF, Combustion Spray, and
even WaterJet coating removal. And our
systems engineering group can integrate your thermal spray equipment with
gun manipulation and part handling
equipment, while ensuring safe operation in your facility through responsible
dust collection, sound attenuation,
and operator protection.
Our flagship thermal spray systems
continue to provide superior value. For
general part restoration and wear properties, turn to the arc spray workhorses:
Praxair and TAFA’s reliable 8835 and
BP-400. Where the highest hardness and
unparalleled wear-resistance is required,
the JP-5000 high pressure HVOF system
is industry’s proven leader. And when
it comes to plasma spraying everything
from superalloys to chrome oxide to
sophisticated, graded thermal barrier
coatings, our SG-100 and PlazJet offer
optimal coating quality and efficiency
Monel Cladding
Corrosion costs $2.2 trillion annually to
the global economy, with nearly $1.2
trillion to the oil and gas industry alone.
To satisfy the ever increasing demand for energy,
oil and gas companies continue to move further
offshore and into deeper waters to produce fuel
from challenging reserves using highly corrosive
processes. These difficult conditions demand
corrosion-resistant pipes, components, and
equipment that can withstand an assault of caustic fluids at very high temperatures and pressures. Parts made from corrosion-resistant clad
steel are an optimal solution given the economic
risk and safety concerns involved.
However, popular cladding technologies
such as mechanical lining and roll bonding suffer from major concerns involving integrity and
supply. These matters are further aggravated by
the need for thick-walled and large-diameter
pipes in heavy demand in the Gulf of Mexico and
Asia-Pacific regions.
- CRA claddings are made of alloy 625, 825, 316, Monel 400, and titanium. Cladding thickness is typically between 0.5 and 4 mm.
- WRA claddings are made of ceramics such as chromium carbide, structurally amorphous metal (SAM) alloys, and tungsten carbide. Cladding thickness is typically between 3 and 15 mm.
- HT claddings are made of nickel-chromium and metal-chromium-aluminum alloys for high temperature applications in the energy, pulp and paper, nuclear, and marine industries. Cladding thickness is typically between 0.05 and 6 mm.
- ssLT claddings are made of stainless steel or metallic glass, and are typically between 0.05 and 0.5 mm thick.
