Radio Frequency and Electromagnetic Interference Coatings
The Metal Spray process offers a range of coatings for protecting bio-medical devices from Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). EMI and RFI coatings can be used on any substrate including, but not limited to carbon-carbon composites and carbon-fibre composites. Lightweight electronic enclosures that are commonplace in biomedical research laboratories and healthcare facilities are also metal sprayed for RFI/EMI protection. Various noise sources such as oscillator circuits, CPUs, transformers and plastic cases can also benefit from metal spray coatings. Another common type of biomedical device that utilizes metal spray coated components is x-ray equipment.
Different degrees of electrical conductivity can be achieved with the use of the correct sprayed coating. Materials such as Copper, Aluminium and Molybdenum are commonly used for electrically conductive coatings. In high temperature applications - Ferrous Chrome, Aluminium, Molybdenum Disilicide and other materials can be used.
Thermal and wear resistant coatings can also be employed to enhance the functionality of biomedical devices and implants.
