Astro Alloys TAFA - Thermal Spray Wires for Arc Spray Applications
Astro Alloys Inc. specializes in supplying a wide range of TAFA thermal spray wires designed for arc spray applications. These wires comprise both traditional metal and complex cored compositions, providing tailored solutions for various technical needs. Engineered exclusively for thermal spray, the wires are subjected to stringent testing to ensure they offer the required tensile strength, hardness, and surface finish for reliable application. The advanced manufacturing process involves precise metallurgical composition and production controls to eliminate defects. Cored wire technology enables compositions that are not possible with solid wires, making them valuable for applications in aircraft engine repair and industrial wear protection. Designed for high-performance coatings, TAFA wires offer solutions for bond coats, dimensional restoration, and resistance to wear and corrosion, replacing traditional plasma coatings in various scenarios.
TAFA® arc spray wires are tested and analyzed to make sure they offer the proper tensile strength, hardness and surface finish properties for thermal spraying, making sure you get it right every time. TAFA wires are engineered and manufactured exclusively for thermal spray. Strict specifications and production controls guarantee that each wire is manufactured to a precise metallurgical composition and free from defects such as slivers or contaminants.
All thermal spray wires are made to tight compositional tolerances, have the appropriate surface finish, and be spooled properly for consistent performance. Advanced material engineering of cored wires allows compositions that cannot be drawn as solid wires to be produced by enclosing powders in a metallic sheath. The application of cored wire technology has resulted in arc spray coatings replacing plasma coatings for many aircraft engine repairs and industrial wear applications.
Care is taken to ensure that the thermal spray wires have proper physical properties for thermal spraying such as:
- Tensile strength
- Hardness
- Surface Finish
- Corrosion Resistance
- Hard Surface Wear Resistance
Some of the common thermal spray materials we offer include:
