H.C. Starck Solutions’ Thermal Spray Powder Advantage

H.C. Starck Solutions’ molybdenum thermal spray powders increase the lifetime of products by fixing ragged and damaged surfaces, and protecting against the destructive effects of wear, erosion, and corrosion. The company’s thermal spraying powders are produced by the disposition of powders that cover a substrate forming an even coating of contiguous layers.

Diverse Spraying Processes

  • Plasma
  • High-velocity air fuel (HVAF)
  • Flame
  • High-velocity oxy-fuel coating spraying (HVOF)
  • Detonation
