High-Velocity Oxy-Fuel Spray (HVOF) Thermal Spray & Hardfacing

High Velocity Oxy-Fuel (HVOF) is a thermal spray hardfacing technique used to apply high-quality and dense coatings onto various surfaces. It involves the combustion of fuel gases (typically hydrogen, propane or propylene) and oxygen, in a combustion chamber.

During the HVOF process, The combusted gases exit through an expansion nozzle which produces the high-velocity gas stream. A metallic powder is then introduced axially into the high-pressure combustion chamber. The powder particles are heated in this high-velocity gas stream and transferred with high kinetic energy to the surface of the workpiece, forming a dense coating with excellent bonding properties.

Jet Kote III System

 

Jet Kote III

The standard Jet Kote III consists of a control console, Jet Kote 3000 torch, heat exchanger, and powder feeder. All elements of the system are designed to work together to provide optimum performance.

Jet Kote III maintains deposition efficiencies of up to 70% and spray rates up to 20 lbs/hr. This high spray rate and deposit efficiency rate make this one of the most effective spray systems available. Many competitive systems only average 25-35% deposit efficiency, causing higher operating costs and reduced throughput.

Jet Kote II NOVA A Gas Console

 

Jet Kote NOVA-A

The Jet Kote NOVA-A control console is where quality, performance and simplicity meet. This system features a built-in gas control cabinet, analog display and simplified user interface.

The gas flows are controlled using precision needle valves with gas pressure regulators in the console to increase the accuracy and repeatability of gas flow rates. The console has an analog display of supply pressures to the torch as well as gas flow rate control (SCFH) using critical orifice flow meters for all gases.
