Carbide Coating Services in Edmonton, Alberta
Carbide coatings are most commonly used for wear resistance to abrasion, erosion, galling, cavitation and fretting. Most “carbide” films are applied by HVOF to achieve the densest and most well-bonded coatings available by thermal spray. Plasma sprayed carbide films may be selected to achieve an increased texture “as sprayed.” Some applications bring about flame spray applied coatings and a secondary fusing procedure to provide a metallurgically bonded coating.
