Enhanced Part Performance
Falmer’s Ceramic Coatings are a flexible and affordable manufacturing tool that guarantees superior dielectric protection, corrosion resistance, and thermal barrier protection. Applied using a plasma coating process, Falmer can achieve strong, even oxide layers as thin as .003” to .050”. Ceramic spray coatings can be applied to a wide variety of materials including metals, carbon, graphite, and phenolic surfaces.
Benefits
Given the high melting point of ceramic coating materials, these coatings are especially effective in high-temperature environments. Advantages of Falmer’s ceramic spray coatings include:
- Reduced need for solid ceramic parts
- Longer equipment life span
- Electrical insulation
- Reduced part weight
- Usage in service over 1000 °C
- Lower production costs
- Thermal barrier properties
- Reduced downtime
- Increased corrosion and wear resistance
The Falmer Difference
Your parts matter. Falmer’s 100+ years of industry expertise and advanced robotic technologies enable us to pinpoint sites and apply coatings only where needed, with the right thickness and surface finish. The results are hardened parts that perform better, wear longer, and can withstand higher temperatures, corrosive environments, and molten metal attack. Solid ceramic parts are expensive, heavy, and are prone to impact fracture. However, as thermally sprayed ceramic coatings, these materials can be used to successfully enhance the performance and life cycle of your existing components (View Materials Chart).
