Thermal Spray Coating
Thermal spray coatings (TSC) is the generic term for all surface treatments by means of a thermal spraying process.
With this technique a topcoat is applied to a substrate.
We refer to a cold process because the usual substrate temperature varies from 50 to 200°C. Due to this, no distortion, structure change or mixing will occur.
