For surface treatment, thermal spraying, and coating, trust Tokaro! 【What is Thermal Spraying?】 Thermal spraying is a surface modification technology widely used in the industrial sector. It involves melting or softening particles of spraying materials, such as metals and ceramics, adjusted to maximize their functionality according to the intended purpose, and then spraying them onto the surface of the workpiece using various heat sources. The sprayed molten particles cool and solidify instantly, forming a coating. 【Applications of Thermal Spraying Technology】 Tokaro's thermal spraying technology is applicable not only to iron substrates but also to non-ferrous metals such as aluminum and nickel, as well as non-metals like CFRP. Moreover, the spraying materials encompass a wide range, including metals like aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, and molybdenum, various alloys, ceramics, and composite materials like cermets that combine metals and ceramics. By combining different thermal spraying methods, it is possible to create coatings with entirely different physical, chemical, and mechanical properties. 【When Consulting Us...】 We will select the optimal specifications for your company from over a hundred different options, including various thermal spraying methods and material components! Prototyping is also possible, so please feel free to consult with us first.

If you are looking for environmentally friendly surface treatment, thermal spraying, and coating, please leave it to Tokaro. By applying surface treatment, it is possible to coat materials on the surface of components that are stronger and more durable than the base material. This contributes to resource conservation by extending the lifespan of equipment and parts and reducing the frequency of replacements. Not only is it environmentally friendly, but it also achieves cost reduction in new production due to the extended lifespan of components. For example, in repair applications, TLC (Laser Cladding) and TS-3013 are commonly used. Since it allows for localized repair of worn areas while minimizing thermal impact, components that were previously discarded due to the base material's quality or shape can be reused instead of being thrown away. **Features of TLC Technology** - Minimal heat input to the base material - Reduced thermal distortion and thermal impact areas - Low dilution of base material components in the coating - Easy control of coating thickness **Features of Thermal Spray Coating: TS-3013** - Thicker coating compared to conventional thermal spraying - No dimensional restrictions for application *Please consult us for special shapes or oversized items! - Low-temperature application is possible *For coating components, surface roughness, and various test results, please refer to the materials.

Vacuum Plasma Spraying (VPS) The plasma spraying method conducted in a low vacuum atmosphere after evacuating the air inside the chamber to a high vacuum is called Vacuum Plasma Spraying (VPS). This spraying method has the following characteristics: - It produces coatings with properties that match the design, as the material characteristics are not compromised. - It allows for the deposition of active metals such as titanium. - The flight speed of molten particles is faster than that of plasma spraying in the atmosphere, resulting in coatings that are denser and have higher bonding strength. This spraying method is essential for forming high-performance coatings that are deeply related to advanced fields. 【Applications】 Gas turbine rotors for power generation Applications in the energy sector Applications in the medical field, etc.
