Our proprietary detonation gun (D-Gun) and Super D-Gun^TM thermal spray coating processes are the leading solutions for parts that require extraordinary wear performance and mechanical properties. They combines gas and powder in controlled detonations to generate outstanding coating bond strength and coating density. 

Both D-Gun and Super D-Gun thermal spray coating processes typically use tungsten carbide or chrome carbide powders with a variety of metallic binders.

This economical thermal spray coating method accurately mixes and burns a fuel with oxygen while wire or powder feedstock is fed into the torch. The feedstock material melts and is projected onto the surface by the highly concentrated combustion gas stream. This thermal spray coating process can apply a range of high melting temperature materials yet is also ideal for applying bond coat materials. A typical flame spray thermal coating application includes molybdenum for automotive parts which substantially increases the parts surface performance. 

Also known as electric arc spray, wire arc spray is used in a variety of situations from high-volume, low-cost applications to high-quality aircraft coatings that have since replaced plasma spraying. This thermal spray coating process produces an electric arc between two consumable electrodes of a coating material and uses compressed gas to atomize and propel the material to the substrate. One advantage of this thermal spray coating system is that two different wires can be used together to create a pseudo-alloy which can be selected based on service environment and intended level of performance. This type of thermal spray coating process can provide wear resistance, corrosion protection and dimensional restoration.
