Coating of Automotive Components
Flame spraying with molybdenum for coating of piston rings to improve their wear and frictional properties has been a common procedure for years. As we search for more innovative solutions it has been found that you can achieve the same result by coating cylinders with plasma spraying. This market is growing rapidly as more manufacturers are replacing cast iron cylinder blocks with aluminum. It is evident by this new technology that the construction of compact engine designs are more cost effective.
PLANSEE USA supplies:
- Molybdenum spray wire
- Electrodes and nozzles in tungsten-copper
