Q&A about thermal spraying and ceramic laser engraving processing.
●What is the difference from plating? Plating originally leaves a hard layer on top through a thin plating buff finish, but for precision-required machine parts, thick plating and grinding finish are used, which removes the original hard layer, resulting in a lower hardness from the top layer down to the underlying material. Thermal spray coatings have a uniform structure and hardness throughout the cross-section of the coating. ●What is the thickness of thermal spray coatings? Standard thickness of ceramic and cermet thermal spray coatings: 100μm to 300μm Standard thickness of wire thermal spray coatings: 1mm to 10mm Standard thickness of self-fusing alloy thermal spray coatings: 0.5mm to 0.8mm ●How much does thermal spraying cost? The price varies depending on factors such as the area to be sprayed, the spraying equipment, the spraying materials, whether it is a continuous spray or if grinding finish follows the spraying, so estimates are often provided on a case-by-case basis. ●Is re-spraying possible? Even hard thermal spray coatings can wear down over many years of use. In such cases, it is possible to remove the thermal spray coating and then re-spray.

Company information
Our company specializes in surface modification technologies that are not commonly heard of, such as "thermal spraying" and "ceramic laser engraving." Thermal spraying is one of the special techniques used across a range of industries, from low-tech sectors like kitchenware to high-tech industries such as aerospace. We were founded in 1950 with the aim of engine regeneration (engine boring) for automobiles and motorcycles, and we have consistently operated with the goal of being "the only one in a niche market" up to the present day.
