Detonation coating

Detonation coating, also known as detonation spraying, is an advanced surface technology process used to coat workpieces with thin protective layers. This process is characterized by its high speed and efficiency and is used in various industries, including aerospace, automotive and power generation.

The detonation coating process begins with the creation of a detonation or shock wave in a special gun. In this shock wave, powdered coating materials, typically metal powders, are accelerated to high velocities. The workpiece to be coated is placed at a certain distance during this process.

The particles moving at high speed hit the surface of the workpiece and create a protective coating. The high speed of the particles and the resulting kinetic energy enable the coating to be effectively anchored to the surface of the workpiece. This process takes place in fractions of a second, which makes detonation coating an extremely fast process.

The coating produced is characterized by its density, adhesive strength and hardness. Due to the rapid sequence of the process, detonation coating is also suitable for coating large components or complex workpieces. In addition, this process offers the possibility of coating different materials, resulting in a wide range of possible applications.
