Thermal Spraying Process Glossary
● Electric Spray Coating A general term for spray coating performed using electrical energy. Electric spray coating includes arc spray and plasma spray. ● Arc Spray A spray method that generates an arc between two linear metal spray materials, melting the material with the heat and atomizing it with a compressed air jet to spray onto the substrate. ● Vacuum Spray Spray coating performed in a vacuum environment within a chamber. ● Zinc Spray Spray coating using zinc as the spray material. ● Aluminum Spray Spray coating using aluminum as the spray material. ● Zinc-Aluminum Spray Spray coating using zinc-aluminum alloy as the spray material. ● Build-Up Spray Spray coating aimed at restoring dimensions on worn or miscut areas of the base material. ● Self-Fusing Alloy Spray Spray coating performed using self-fusing alloy materials. ● Ceramic Spray Spray coating performed using ceramics. ● Cermet Spray Spray coating using materials composed of metal and ceramic. ● Titanium Oxide Spray Spray coating using titanium oxide (titania) materials. ● Chromium Oxide Spray Spray coating using chromium oxide (chromia) materials. ● Spinel Spray Spray coating using materials with a spinel structure (alumina + magnesia).
