Is it Worthwhile to Upgrade from HVOF to HVAF?
Your investment in a new Kermetico HVAF system will pay itself back while you are spraying your second metric ton of WCCoCr.
Kermetico offer a Convertible System used for both HVOF and HVAF coatings. It is the technological breakthrough that allows using the best properties of both technologies. You do not need to choose between HVAF and HVOF anymore. Spray with oxygen when you need higher temperature or without it when you need lower oxygen content in the coating. Easy and efficient.
- You need to buy just the Kermetico HVAF system; it fits all existing HVOF infrastructure (Well, you will probably need to upgrade a compressor if you have a really weak one).
- Your learning curve will be just a couple of weeks long – our HVAF systems are easy to use for operators familiar with HVOF.
- You gain $160 per deposited kilogram of E-mode HVAF WCCoCr compared to a conventional HVOF version of the same material.
- You’ll get back $160,000 per metric ton of tungsten carbide deposited – more than enough to cover all of your expenses.
And some additional benefits come with using Kermetico HVAF as well:
- You can eliminate the blasting room – blast and spray with one setup to improve quality, shorten manufacturing time and reduce blast media consumption by a factor of 100.
- User thinner as-sprayed coating thicknesses and minimize grinding time due to the low roughness of the as-sprayed HVAF coating.
