Vacuum plasma spraying

Vacuum plasma spraying is an advanced process in surface technology that is used in various industrial applications. This process is a high-performance technology that aims to improve surfaces by applying coatings.

In vacuum plasma spraying, a plasma is generated by introducing a gas mixture into a vacuum chamber and then ionizing it by means of a high-frequency discharge. The resulting plasma reaches extremely high temperatures, causing coating materials to change into a gaseous state. These are then sprayed onto the surface to be coated, where they condense and form an adhesive layer. The resulting coatings have a high density, low porosity and excellent adhesion. This makes vacuum plasma spraying particularly effective for applications where extremely demanding properties are required, such as in the aerospace industry or medical technology.

A key advantage of this process is the ability to coat different materials, including metals, ceramics and polymers. This allows specific properties, such as increased hardness, improved corrosion resistance or electrical insulation, to be realized in a targeted manner.

Vacuum plasma spraying also offers precise control of the coating thickness and allows the layer properties to be adjusted at a microscopic level. This makes it a key technology in surface technology that opens up a wide range of possible applications in various branches of industry.
