Aerospace & Defence
Aerospace & Defence was one of the first industries to exploit the benefits of thermal spray coatings. Nowadays, thermal spray technology is used in a large number of applications in airframe and propulsion meeting high performance levels and quality requirements. Main application in aerospace include:
- landing gear (axles, pins, bearings) – abrasion wear resistant coatings
- engines (combustion liners, discharge nozzles, blades, compressor casings)
- actuation systems (flaps, thrust reversing, pumps)
- engine cowling, wing structures
