  • Wear Resistant Coatings
    Publication number: 20230407100
    Abstract: Improved wear resistant coatings are provided based upon a novel abrasion resistance factor (R) for a given average size of abrasive fine particles. The improved wear resistant coatings exhibit minimal oxide content and minimal porosity, while exhibiting improved wear resistance and hardness. The improved wear resistant coatings are made from a composite material consisting of a hard phase and a metallic binder derived from powder particle sizes ranging from about 0.5 ?m-30 ?m as part of a modified thermal spray process.

  • Thermal spray coatings onto non-smooth surfaces
    Patent number: 10801097
    Abstract: This invention relates to thermal spray coatings and processes onto non-smooth surfaces. The coating and processes can coat non-smooth surfaces without substantial degradation of the underlying surface texture or profile of the non-smooth surfaces so as to sufficiently preserve the underlying surface texture or profile. The ability for coating fractional coverage to maintain the surface profile while maintaining wear resistance is unprecedented by conventional thermal spray processes.
