: Our firm has 6 year experience with thermal spray. Last year we are working with HVOF TAFA JP 5000 ( burner ST ). We can try coating by TiC. Could You write us the suitable applications and properties of such surface ?
: Thank You
Hi Vladimir
Titanium carbide can only be effectively applied as an HVOF coating when combined with a binder or matrix material as in tungsten carbide/cobalt.
I have not come across any commercial TiC based HVOF powders. There were some powders based on TiC/Ni (or Co) and WTiC/Ni but I don't think they were in common use. I have not had the opportunity to evaluate these coatings yet, but would expect applications and properties to be roughly similar to the tungsten carbide and chromium carbide type coatings.
