  • Publication number: 20160281538
    Abstract: A process of remanufacturing a backplate used in turbochargers is provided and includes using a mask or an anti-bonding agent and a thermal metal spray. The mask or anti-bonding agent protects the portions of the backplate from being sprayed. The thermal metal spray can be sprayed on a sealing surface of the backplate that is worn during use. Once the process is completed, the backplate can be inspected to ensure that it meets or exceeds the manufacturer's original specifications.
