HVOF Coating For Corrosion, Wear
and Friction Control

Spray-on application with superior adhesion and hardness

Electro-Coating High Velocity Oxy-Fuel (HVOF)
  • High velocity spray for stronger adhesion to substrates
  • Combustion-based system offers deposition of coatings with a high coefficient of hardness
  • Pressure and heat combine for greater surface smoothness
  • Creates high coating densities without reduction in bond strength
  • Low coating porosity enhances corrosion resistance
  • Usable for both ceramic and metallic coatings up to 12mm (1/2") thick

What is HVOF

High Velocity Oxy-Fuel (HVOF) coating is an application technique used to enhance the hardness and bond strength of many coating types. The HVOF process centers around a spray head that mixes oxygen, a combustible fuel (kerosene, acetylene, propylene and hydrogen) and a powdered friction-reducing coating material. A jetlike nozzle delivers coatings at temperatures of 5-6000o F at velocities beyond 7000 feet per second.

This process results in a coating with an extraordinarily high coefficient of adhesion, commonly exceeding bond strengths of 12,000 psi. This allows HVOF coatings to maintain friction reduction properties in high temperature environments, and makes them able to withstand the absence of proper lubrication for longer periods of time.

The heat and spray pressure of HVOF allow the deposition of materials with high hardness characteristics that further enhance friction reduction, including tungsten carbide, chrome carbide, nickel alloys, cobalt alloys and various carbon and stainless steels.

Mastery of HVOF application
Superior application of HVOF coatings requires a skilled hand, the latest equipment, and added expertise in coating chemistry. Electro-Coatings offers all three, along with a lengthy track record in successfully delivering HVOF projects on time and on budget.
