Depending on the application, thermal spray coatings may be specified by an OE equipment designer or requested by a customer to enhance equipment performance. In addition to providing extensive thermal spray capabilities, ASB Industries can customize material selection for your proprietary processing, or specify one of the hundreds of commercially available materials for use in enhancing the performance of the equipment that makes your product.

Surface defects or irregularities in equipment that come in direct contact with your product during the manufacturing process can leave marks and imperfections in the finished part. Both of these problems are good candidates for correction with thermal spray coatings. ASB can meet your strictest processing requirements, providing pre- and post-treatment of the thermal spray to obtain critical dimensional tolerances and surface finishes

Cast, forged or fabricated parts can utilize a less expensive base material when they are thermal sprayed with a hard coating on the wear surface. ASB will work with your cost, delivery and application requirements to determine a cost-effective substrate alternative.
