Transportation
Praxair Surface Technologies provided an HVOF coating solution for train axles that were wearing out. This coating offered lower thickness, better adhesion, lower porosity and a better surface finish compared to traditional repair with a wire deposition arc spray method.
Power Generation for Oil & Gas Production
Find out how coating the rotor and aerodynamic bundle with a SermaLon™ fouling-resistant coating hindered deposition of corrosive products, reduced surface roughness and improved efficiency for Nippon Oil Exploration.
Oil & Gas
Find out how SermaGard® coatings are protecting tension leg platforms from the corrosive effects of seawater on Moho Nord in the Republic of Congo.
Plastics
Tungsten carbide coatings from Praxair Surface Technologies can improve scratch resistance over chrome plating and more than triple the service life of calender rolls used in plastics processing.
Power Generation
Solid particle erosion can be a big problem for coal-powered, steam-driven generators. You can protect parts in the steam path by having a protective chromium carbide coating applied to airfoil surfaces.
