Thermal Spray: Grinding, Finishing and Supporting Equipment

Since every project is unique, ASB Industries develops specific combinations of Thermal Spray technology procedures to ensure your operation's optimal performance. Our established in-house and customer-specific quality assurance programs assure that each project meets required specifications and that all coated parts are systematically evaluated for coating structure, coating bond, oxide content, porosity and thickness.
