Application Examples

Höganäs powders are applied in a wide range of thermal surfacing techniques such as:

 
 
 
 
Powder welding is typically used for coating in moulds, neck rings and plates for the glass-bottle-making industry.
 
 
 
Flame spraying efficiently applies a high-hardness surface on bottle neck plungers.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Plasma and HVOF (High–Velocity Oxy-Fuel) spraying keeps cutter blades sharp in the paper industry.
 
 

PTA Surfacing (Plasma Transferred Arc) is a surfacing method that reduces wear and corrosion on valve seats and ball valves. It is also used in the chemical industry to increase corrosion resistance and reduce mechanical wear.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Laser cladding is used for renovating critical industrial components such as shafts, bearings and sealing surfaces. Laser cladding creates coatings, while having a minor thermal effect on the basematerial.
