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.
Application Review
Review drawings, base material, working condition, failure mode and coating target.
Process Selection
Select HVOF, plasma spray, arc spray or D-Gun based on material, thickness and performance requirements.
Surface Preparation
Cleaning, grit blasting, masking design, fixture preparation and coated area confirmation.
Controlled Spraying
Control spray parameters, gun distance, spray angle, part rotation, cooling and coating buildup.
Post-Processing
Coordinate grinding, polishing, sealing or machining when final dimensions or surface finish are required.
Inspection Support
Support thickness, hardness, appearance, microstructure, porosity or test coupon evaluation when required.
Process Comparison
