High Velocity Oxygen Fuel - HVOF

High-Velocity Oxygen Fuel - HVOF Advantages

Chrome Carbide
An extremely hard material that is applied in a way that does not leave any pores in the finished material. This spray is becoming more popular as a replacement for chrome plating. The drawback with this material is that you cannot apply a coat too thick because it becomes too brittle and cracks while it is being finished.

Nickel Chrome Boron
This material is particularly good for hardness, wear, and corrosion resistance. This material is primarily used on parts that are constantly submerged in water or used in an environment, where they are exposed to a lot of moisture, but still, need the wear protection that you would get with a typical Hard Chrome coating.

Aluminum Silicon
This material is an incredibly soft material that is applied using the HVOF method but is still soft enough that it can be machined off.

Tungsten Carbide
It is an extremely hard material that is harder than Chrome Carbide but doesn't have the same corrosion resistance as chrome. It is considered the workhorse of all materials for wear resistance.
