Rising Aircraft Usage Fueling Thermal Spray Material Consumption
Thermal sprays are widely used in the medical devices, oil and gas, aerospace, automotive, electronics, energy and power, rubber, mining, industrial manufacturing, textile, and food processing industries. According to P&S Intelligence, the aerospace industry used the highest quantity of thermal spray materials in the past, especially in the coatings applied on turbo-machinery, such as rotor-path linings, engine components, compressor seals, high-pressure turbine seals, airframes, and oil seals.
