Machine Element Wires

Arc spray wires are highly versatile, with significant crossover between applications. Wires that are commonly used for hard-surfacing can also be employed for machine element applications, making them an excellent solution across industries.

Ground Machine Element Coatings

For machine element arc spray wires, achieving precision is often critical. After the “as-sprayed” arc spray coating is applied, it can undergo further processing. This includes either single-point tooling or wheel grinding, depending on the required specification, to bring the coated component to its finished dimension.

Efficiency of High-Production Arc Spraying

High-production arc spraying is a cost-effective alternative to cladding or welding. It saves time and money by allowing coatings to be applied thick and quickly, significantly reducing application time and labor expenses. Unlike other processes, arc spray wires require only electricity and compressed air, further driving down application costs.

Benefits of the Cold Arc Spray Process

An additional advantage of arc spray technology is that it is a cold process, meaning there is no heat distortion to the substrate. This ensures that thermal spray coating machines can apply coatings without compromising the structural integrity, dimensional accuracy, or heat treatment of components. These properties make machine element arc spray wires ideal for delivering durable and consistent thermal spray coatings in even the most demanding environments.
