Surface Problems We Help Solve

Industrial Surface Problems APT Helps Solve

Many industrial components fail because the surface loses its required performance. APT helps customers evaluate the failure mode and select suitable coating materials, coating thickness and thermal spray processes.

Wear and Abrasion

Protect shafts, rollers, sleeves and mechanical wear surfaces against abrasion, erosion and sliding wear.

Corrosion and Chemical Attack

Apply metallic or ceramic coatings for components exposed to corrosive environments, chemicals or atmospheric corrosion.

Heat, Oxidation and Thermal Shock

Use ceramic and carbide coatings for high-temperature protection, oxidation resistance and thermal barrier applications.

Dimensional Restoration

Rebuild worn surfaces, restore critical dimensions and extend the service life of used industrial components.

Electrical and Functional Insulation

Apply ceramic insulation coatings for components requiring electrical insulation or special surface functionality.

Friction, Sealing and Surface Function

Improve surface behavior for sealing areas, sliding contact, anti-slip surfaces or application-specific performance.

Project Workflow

How APT Handles a Coating Service Project

A coating result depends on more than coating material. APT reviews the application, prepares the surface, controls the spray process and supports inspection according to project requirements.
