Thermal Spray Coating for
Automotive Components

Precision coatings for engine, transmission and turbocharger components where the goal is lower friction, controlled wear and a repeatable surface finish on a production line.

Components We Coat in Automotive Industry

Cylinder bore coating on aluminium blocks
Piston ring and ring groove wear surfaces
Synchroniser ring friction coatings
Turbocharger housing heat and wear protection
Gearbox shaft and seal journal reclamation
Arc spray coating of an automotive engine component

Typical Outcome

Typical outcome: lower running friction and repeatable bore finish without changing the base component design.

Coating Processes Used

Twin wire arc spray for bore and journal coatings
Powder flame spray for self-fluxing friction surfaces
HVOF for carbide-coated ring and shaft faces

Coating Materials Specified

Molybdenum for low-friction running surfaces
Copper-aluminium bronze for synchroniser friction
NiCrAl bond coat on aluminium substrates
WC-Co for high-load wear faces
