HVOF

HVOF, High Velocity Oxy Fuel, is a state-of-the-art, sophisticated spraying method that is based on the same principles as traditional metallize. Using the latest technology, Wade Dynamics is capable of accelerating alloy metal particles to the supersonic speed of Mach 13, creating coatings that have a bond strength ten times greater than any other coating in the world. The particles sprayed with this method are extraordinarily resistant to abrasion, corrosion, erosion, thermal and chemical deterioration.

Traditional metalize creates a mesh coating of mechanically bonded particles that can be sealed to help resist wear and/or machined to restore a diameter. The HVOF system utilizes a liquid fuel, similar to that of a jet engine, to propel the particles at an ultra-high velocity. These particles then bombard the part resulting in “Impact Fusion”. Our HVOF system offers coatings such as Tungsten-Carbide/Cobalt and Nickel-Chrome/Carbide that are literally forge-welded to your parts and surfaces making this technology a vast improvement over traditional combustion spraying and plasma methods.

What this means for you and your parts is that Wade Dynamics can offer you the very best, state-of-the-art defense available against any type of abrasion and corrosion. This includes:

A few examples of parts we coat on a regular basis include: piston shafts, fan blades from highly abrasive environments, pump housings for chemical and sewage plants, cutting blades for plastics, mixer blades for cement and gravel companies and high temperature surfaces for furnaces. Our HVOF coatings can also be used in bearing and seal applications, as well as keyway sections. Even better, HVOF coatings are not just for protection, they can be diamond ground to a mirror-like finish.

Wade Dynamics is excited to announce that Plotz Machine and Forge will be taking over our metallizing services as of July 2024. We trust that our long-standing relationship with Plotz will make this transition of coating services smooth with the quality customers are used to. Wade Dynamics will continue to offer HVOF services.
