Thermal spray coatings for parts and components used in the power generation industry

The Power Generation sector faces unprecedented pressure to increase output while reducing emissions and maintenance costs. Achieving these goals requires materials that can withstand environments far beyond the limits of standard alloys. Flame Spray Technologies provides the advanced Thermal Spray and Flame Spray equipment necessary to protect critical infrastructure from the destructive effects of high temperature oxidation abrasive wear and chemical corrosion.

Engineering surfaces for extreme environments

Power generating parts requires more than just a standard coating. Success in this industry depends on the precise control of coating microstructures to handle cyclic loading and thermal shock. For gas turbines this means applying ceramic layers with controlled porosity to manage thermal expansion. In case of waste to energy plants we focus on dense nickel-based overlays that create a barrier against aggressive chlorine and sulphur compounds. By tailoring the chemistry and application method to the specific fuel type and operating temperature FST ensures that every component reaches its maximum possible service life.

Typical Applications:

• Cyclones
• Fans
• Pelton wheel
• Boiler tubes
• Bearings
• Shafts
• Pumps
• Shafts
• Wear rings
