Our mission

The Thermal Spray Center specialises in all kind of services related to thermal spray technologies as an integral part of surface engineering. Phenomena such as corrosion, wear and shocks take place on materials surfaces. The protection and surface properties modification are therefore powerful tools in modern engineering. The thermal Spray Technologies represent solutions to improve surface properties of the materials via the application of coatings. Its versatility makes it possible to apply almost any type of material onto almost any type of substrate, without thermal affectation of the substrate and with no limitations on pieces size.
