Future Development Trends in Thermal Spray Technology
Thermal spray technology is undergoing multi-dimensional upgrades, with core trends concentrated in four areas:
Material Innovation Driving Performance Breakthroughs
Nanomaterials (such as nanozirconia) improve coating density and stability, while intelligent self-healing coatings automatically fill damage with functional particles, extending component life.
Intelligently Improving Process Precision
Leveraging AI and machine learning, spray parameters such as temperature and speed can be controlled in real time to achieve consistent and stable coating quality. Automated operation and remote monitoring reduce costs and improve efficiency.
Environmental Transformation Meets Green Needs
Developing low-energy processes (e.g., optimizing gas combinations to reduce energy consumption by over 30%), promoting environmentally friendly materials such as bio-based ceramics, and gradually replacing polluting processes such as hard chrome electroplating.
Customized Services Expand Boundaries
Customized biocompatible coatings, heat-dissipating and insulating coatings, and other technologies are available to meet the needs of medical and electronics industries, addressing diverse scenarios and opening up new application areas.
These trends will drive thermal spray technology to play a more critical role in various industries.
