Precision Spray & Coatings, a thermal spray coatings and precision valve servicing company, has announced the formal expansion of its shop capabilities to include spray and fuse coating services for industrial valve components.
Precision Spray & Coatings, a thermal spray coatings and precision valve servicing company, has announced the formal expansion of its shop capabilities to include spray and fuse coating services for industrial valve components.
The company is now applying Colmonoy® 69 and Colmonoy® 88 coatings to valve balls and seats, providing customers with an engineered surface solution for components exposed to demanding wear, erosion, corrosion, and elevated-temperature service conditions.
Unlike conventional thermal spray applications, the spray and fuse process uses a controlled fusion step to create a metallurgical bond between the coating and the underlying substrate. This bond provides a durable coating interface designed for applications where adhesion, wear resistance, and long-term component performance are critical.
“Adding spray and fuse capabilities expands the range of coating solutions we can provide to our valve customers,” said Kelly Songer, Director of Valve Services. “Beyond wear protection, the spray and fuse process can accommodate greater coating thicknesses than typical HVOF applications, making it well suited for dimensional restoration. Worn valve components can be built up, machined back to specification, and returned to service.”
Spray and fuse coatings can be particularly well suited for applications involving abrasive or erosive service, sliding or rotating wear, high-pressure valve operation, elevated temperatures, and corrosive environments. The technology can be used to restore dimensions up to .030” in thickness on worn components while also providing a hardened, wear-resistant surface.
Precision Spray & Coatings’ expanded capabilities are designed to support industries where valve reliability and component longevity are essential, including oil and gas, petrochemical processing, power generation, refining, chemical processing and other industrial applications.
