PROCESS DESCRIPTION

The aim of coating construction components is to create surface properties that the base material does not have. Important characteristics include:

  • Corrosion resistance
  • Wear resistance
  • Thermal or electrical resistance or conductivity
  • Optical properties

Often it is metals that are coated. Here methods are used whose principles of operation are known from joining technology, such as:

  • Soldering
  • Electric arc welding
  • Shield gas welding,
  • Plasma-powder welding

For heat sensitive or non-metallic components special processes have been developed, such as:

  • Thermal spraying
  • Vacuum-coating
  • Electro- or immersion bath-galvanisation
  • Chrome plating

 

MESSER SOLUTION

Selecting the process and required gases often presents users with a complex task. Messer supplies gases and expertise for your needs.

Advantages

Coating a component enables the combination of various properties and leads to significant improvements, such as:

  • Increased component lifetime
  • Lowering pf production, material and maintenance costs 
  • Expansion of component functions
  • Trouble-free operation of plants
