HVOF (High Velocity Oxygen Fuel) coating is an advanced thermal spray coating process used for industrial components requiring improved wear resistance, corrosion protection and extended service life.
The process creates a dense and durable coating layer that helps protect components operating under friction, pressure, abrasion and harsh environmental conditions.
As a thermal spray coating solution, HVOF provides a high-performance surface coating option for hydraulic components, shafts and engineered parts where reliability and durability are critical.
Our HVOF coating solutions support businesses across Sydney, NSW and Australia requiring advanced surface protection for demanding industrial applications.
Industrial components exposed to constant movement, heavy loads and harsh operating conditions can experience surface wear, corrosion and reduced performance over time.
HVOF coating provides a protective surface layer designed to improve component durability, reduce wear and enhance operating life.
Common applications include:
- Hydraulic cylinder rods
- Industrial shafts
- Wear components
- Mining equipment components
- Heavy machinery parts
- Engineered industrial components
- Components exposed to abrasion and corrosion
Each coating requirement is assessed based on the component condition, operating environment and required performance.
Different coating materials provide different levels of surface protection depending on the application, operating conditions and required performance. Our HVOF coating capability includes:
Tungsten carbide coating provides excellent wear resistance for components exposed to abrasion, friction and demanding industrial environments.
It is commonly used where high surface durability and protection against wear are required.
Stainless steel coating provides corrosion resistance and surface protection for components operating in environments where durability and resistance to corrosion are important.
It is suitable where protection against corrosion and surface deterioration is required.
Chrome carbide nickel coating is suitable for applications requiring resistance against wear, heat and harsh operating conditions.
It is used where durable surface protection is required in demanding industrial environments.
Hydraulic cylinder rods operate under constant movement, pressure and exposure to demanding working environments.
Surface wear, corrosion and damage can affect component performance, reliability and equipment operating life.
HVOF coating provides a durable protective layer for hydraulic cylinder rods where improved wear resistance and surface protection are required.
Our capability includes supporting large hydraulic rod applications, including rods up to 9 metres in length.
Benefits of HVOF coating for hydraulic rods include:
- Improved wear resistance
- Enhanced surface durability
- Corrosion protection
- Extended component service life
- Improved performance in demanding applications
For complete hydraulic cylinder restoration requirements, HVOF coating can support other specialised repair and finishing processes.
A successful HVOF coating application requires more than just applying the coating material. Correct surface preparation, controlled coating application and accurate final finishing are essential to achieve the required result.
01
The first stage involves grinding the component surface to prepare the rod before HVOF coating application.
Grinding helps achieve the required surface condition and prepares the component for effective coating adhesion.
Proper preparation ensures the coating can be applied evenly and achieve the required performance.
02
After grinding, the component undergoes sand blasting to create the required surface profile.
Sand blasting prepares the surface by improving coating adhesion and ensuring the HVOF coating bonds effectively with the component.
This stage is essential for achieving a strong and reliable coating application.
03
The prepared component is coated using the HVOF thermal spray process.
The coating material is applied at high velocity to create a dense and durable protective layer designed to improve wear resistance, surface protection and component durability.
04
After the HVOF coating application, the component is ground again to achieve the required final size, surface finish and dimensional accuracy.
This final finishing stage ensures the coated component meets the required specifications for its application.
