Thermal Barrier Coatings Market Companies and Competitive Landscape
The thermal barrier coatings market is fragmented with the presence of regional and global players. The competitive contour lies with the increase in the regional company and growing investment in upstream application. Praxair Surface Technologies, Metallisation Ltd., TST Engineered Coating Solutions, Air Products & Chemicals Inc., Integrated Global Services Inc., ASB Industries Inc., H.C. Starck Inc., Precision Coatings, TWI Ltd. are the major player in the coating market. The major players adopt several growth strategies such as product launches, acquisitions, and collaborations, contributing to growing the thermal barrier coatings market globally.
ASB Industries Inc.
The company selects the coating based on the available information shared with ASB Industries. Once identifying the wear issue will allow ASB to designate different process techniques and general material composition. In most cases, ASB can utilize machine tools to complete the project, which is necessary for turnkey projects and a possible option for high production smaller parts. Moreover, the seal surfaces on rotating components may require a wear-resistant surface against a seal material made of rubber, composite or metal ring to function in many applications. In addition, corrosion, hard particles or friction, and process temperatures for processing equipment can be protected by an inert-wear-resistant ceramic thermal spray coating. Also, seal manufacturers may designate a specific surface finish requirement to guide ASB to grind the surface within a particular range.
Furthermore, a required surface finish may utilize grinding by hard wheel and belting or machining and polishing the surface. ASB Industries operates a profilometer where a needle tracks a specified length on the finished area, and then the results are documented on all inspection reports verifying the required finish. For instance, where critical seals are required to eliminate contamination include mixing shafts for pharmaceutical production, mixers for food on journal seal and bearing protection from process contamination for rolls in almost any industry. Moreover, ceramic coatings are utilized in marine environments on propeller shafts, mixing clay for pottery and coal power generation components.
