High velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) thermal spraying for power generation 

Thermal spray materials processing has enjoyed unprecedented growth in recent decades and thermal spray coatings are crucial to the enhanced utilisation and operation of engineering systems in various applications. Numerous industries, in recognition of thermal spray's versatility and inherent economics, have introduced the technology into the manufacturing environment. These thermally sprayed coatings have allowed materials and structures to function under extreme conditions and made possible the introduction of novel materials into high performance applications. CME group has been developing Ni50Cr, WC-Co, In625, stellite 6, amorphous nanosteel and various other coatings for corrosion and erosion-corrosion protection in pulverised fuel and fluidised bed based biomass boilers.
