Metallization Plasma Jet - Romania
Plasma Jet SRL was established in 1990 and has a scientific industrial profile.
The company gathers technicians from the aeronautical industry, trained and certified to carry out constructive design / method design / execution / inspection / certification of thermal spray coating (metallization) processes in plasma jet, electric arc, HVOF, HVAF and oxygen-gas applicable in ISO 9001 regime in aeronautical technologies under ROLLS-ROYCE (UK), TURBOMECA (France), AEROSPATIALE (France), OMKB-Omsk (Russian Federation) licenses.
In this part of the world, Plasma Jet SRL is the only company that owns and applies all thermal spray coating (metallization) processes.
In 2000, Plasma Jet SRL restored the Infinity Column (zinc and brass coating), the work of the great Roman sculptor Constantin Brâncuși. The restoration took 70 days. Plasma Jet SRL offered the beneficiary a 50-year guarantee.
Plasma Jet SRL is one of the world’s leading companies in the field of thermal spray coating (metallization). Plasma Jet SRL has developed and applied more than 20 unique technologies in the field of thermal spray coating (metallization), which is why Plasma Jet SRL is considered a leading company.
Just a few examples:
*Plasma Jet SRL has developed anti-sticking deposition technology. This technology, proprietary to Plasma Jet SRL, is used for the anti-sticking coating of industrial parts in Michelin and Pirelli Formula 1 motorsport factories.
*Plasma Jet SRL has developed the technology for the hardening of the leading edge of the rotor blades of thermal power plants.
This technology, property of Plasma Jet SRL, is used for the hardening of the leading edge of the rotor blades of turbines with power of 50 – 330 MW in Romania, Germany, Turkey, Iran, etc.
*Plasma Jet SRL has developed the technology of helicopter landing gear reconditioning.
This technology, owned by Plasma Jet SRL, uses HVOF coatings technology and is used for coatings in the aircraft industry.
*Plasma Jet SRL has developed the technology for the reconditioning of Bombardier’s undercarriage drive axles.
This technology, proprietary to Plasma Jet SRL, is used for the reconditioning of the drive axles of metro trains.
1. Metallization by the combustion flame comprises:
- LVOF = low speed flame metallisation
- HVOF = oxygen-fuel (gas or liquid) metallisation with supersonic speed 2.200-2.500 m/s
- HVAF = air-fuel flame metallisation with supersonic speed 2,000-2,200 m/s
- D-Gun = thermal spraying in the supersonic flame produced by a detonation gun
2. Metallization by thermal spray using electricity as an energy source comprises:
- Atmospheric Plasma Spray metallization (APS)
- Electric Arc metallization (EA)
- Cold spray
- Induction Plasma Metallization
- Plasma Transferred Arc metallization (PTA)
- Atmospheric Plasma Spraying metallization (APS)
HELPFUL EXPLANATIONS
What is thermal spraying (metallization)?
It is a type of surface process engineering that consists of coating a support substrate with a material to improve physical properties.
Oh, is that then a type of welding?
Well, it is closer to painting, only that the surface coating is made with fused materials such as ceramics, carbides, cermets, ferrous or non-ferrous alloys, etc. There is no surface alloying between the deposited material and the substrate.
Does the nature of substrates limit this type of application?
There are very few materials that can not be coated by thermal spray (metallization), such as ice, wax, rubber, etc.
Do these processes require special preparation of the surfaces before application?
Usually the parts are degreased and blasted before metallization.
What materials can be deposited by metallization?
Any material available in the form of wire or powder, as long as he does not sublimate
What is Sublimation?
Passing from solid state directly into the gaseous state by heating
What types of metallization does Plasma Jet make?
Plasma jet applies all thermal spraying processes (metallization), owns all types of specific equipment existing in the world at this time.
Ooo, then I have many questions for you!
You are not the only one, you can see the “Frequently Asked Questions” chapter, watch the movies here: Plasma Jet
Plasma Jet is equipped with all types of installations for metallization
Plasma Jet has all the latest generation of equipment needed for the thermal spray coating process. The application technology of thermal spraying processes comes from the aviation industry. In the thermal spraying process we use a KUKA KR 150 robot. For a better understanding of T.S.C processes, watch the videos posted in “Video Documentation”
