BASF Catalysts's proprietary thermal spray
surface coatings offer surface treatment and surface finishing
options to enable customers to create high-performance components
for specialized products. Our line of advanced coatings includes
corrosion prevention coatings, wear protection coatings, erosion
prevention coatings, thermal barrier coatings, thermal protection
coatings, metalizing, and general protective coatings.
These are used for aircraft engine coatings, gas turbine coatings,
medical implant coatings, and many other applications. Our
technologies include HVOF (High Velocity Oxygen Fuel), flame spray
coatings, electric arc coatings, cold coatings, hot section
coatings, plasma spray, and wire coatings.
From gas turbine components used in aerospace and power generation
industries, to replacement joints for medical applications and
shifter forks for automotive uses, BASF Catalysts technology can
provide a competitive advantage to customers in virtually any
market where surface enhancements are critical.
BASF Catalysts's thermal spray technology imparts properties
unobtainable by base metal selection alone. High-performance parts
and components with unique capabilities are the result.
Our line of advanced thermal coatings enhances metallurgical
performance. We engineer specific applications and adjust coating
materials, spray equipment and robotic software to produce
customized results for customers.
BASF Catalysts coating products are used to protect and enhance a
wide variety of critical components used in the aerospace,
automotive, diesel, power generation, medical and other industries.
These coatings create:- dimensional integrity
- multi-layer thermal barriers
- corrosion control
- abrasion and erosion-wear resistance
- high-temperature wear resistance
- chrome plate replacements
Our Center for Advanced Coatings offers customers superior thermal
spray process capabilities. The Center is designed for applications
development, parameter studies, coatings qualification and
prototype work. Our coatings experts work with directly with
customers to diagnose problems and devise solutions. We can fully
quantify coatings by analyzing composition and evaluating
structure. In addition to our unique processing and coating
capabilities, we offer many complementary services such as chemical
stripping, NDT, as well as a variety of finishing competencies.
